Motorola has kicked off 2026 in style with two bold flagships—the ultra‑refined Motorola Signature and the futuristic Motorola Razr Fold—and together they’ve turned Week 2 into a showcase of where premium smartphones are heading next. One is all about classic slab-style power and refinement, the other about book-style folding ambition, and both signal that Motorola is ready to push hard in the top‑tier segment this year.

MOTOROLA SIGNATURE AND MOTOROLA RAZR FOLD OWNED WEEK 2

Motorola Signature: Slim, Rugged, and Seriously Premium

Motorola Signature is a no-compromise slab flagship built around Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 (non-Elite) chipset on a 3 nm process, promising top-end performance with improved efficiency for 2026 workloads like high-FPS gaming, AI tasks, and 4K video capture. The phone features a 6.8-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a 165 Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision, HDR10+ support, and an eye-popping peak brightness quoted at up to 6200 nits, putting it firmly among the brightest screens on any smartphone right now.

Despite packing a large 5200 mAh Si/C Li-Ion battery, the Signature stays impressively slim at around 7 mm thick and about 186 g in weight, thanks to careful engineering and an aircraft-grade aluminum frame. The design is also built to survive: it carries IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance along with MIL-STD-810H compliance, meaning it’s tested against high-pressure water jets and tougher environmental conditions than typical flagships. Color options are Pantone-branded shades like Carbon and Martini Olive, underlining Motorola’s push for a stylish, recognizable identity.

Cameras 

Cameras are a major highlight of the Motorola Signature, with a rear array built entirely around 50 MP sensors. The main 50 MP wide camera uses a large 1/1.28-inch sensor with multi‑directional PDAF and OIS, accompanied by a 50 MP periscope telephoto with around 3-3.5x optical zoom and OIS, plus a 50 MP ultra-wide with autofocus that can double as a macro shooter. On the front sits a 50 MP selfie camera with dual-pixel PDAF, capable of 4K video recording and high-detail portraits.

Software, Support, and Smart Connectivity

On the software side, Motorola ships the Signature with Android 16 and promises up to seven major Android upgrades, putting it among the longest-supported Android devices on paper. The interface remains close to stock Android but integrates Motorola’s own Smart Connect/Ready For features, allowing the phone to act as a desktop-like hub when connected to an external monitor, as well as seamless sharing with PCs and other devices.

Connectivity is also fully loaded: Wi-Fi 7 support, Bluetooth 6.0, NFC, ultra-wideband (UWB), dual-SIM (nano + eSIM), and USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 with DisplayPort 1.4 output make the Signature ready for high-speed networks and serious peripheral setups. Audiophiles get stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, “Sound by Bose” tuning, and Snapdragon Sound, although the 3.5 mm headphone jack is absent, which is typical for this category now. Positioned in Europe at around €999/£899.99, the device aims straight at the Galaxy S-series and iPhone Pro crowd.

Razr Fold: Motorola’s First Book‑Style Foldable

If the Signature is the refined flagship, the Razr Fold is Motorola’s bold leap into the book-style foldable arena. Revealed at CES 2026, it’s the brand’s first large inner-screen foldable after several years of flip-style Razr clamshells, and it targets heavyweights like Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold lineup and Google’s Pixel Fold. The Razr Fold uses an inward-folding main display—tipped to be around 8.1 inches with a high-resolution 2K-class LTPO panel—paired with a sizable outer cover screen for quick interactions, notifications, and full-app usage without always opening the device.

Motorola is positioning the Razr Fold as a productivity and entertainment powerhouse that can switch from phone mode to tablet mode in a single flip. Early previews and leaks point to triple 50 MP rear cameras, stylus support, and a hinge design optimized to reduce crease visibility and improve durability over earlier foldable generations. At CES, Motorola confirmed that the device will ship later in 2026, starting with North America in summer, followed by other markets like India afterward, though exact regional pricing and dates are still to be announced.

Two Flagships, One Clear Message

Taken together, the Motorola Signature and Razr Fold show a company aiming not just to participate in the flagship race but to shape it. The Signature plants Motorola firmly in the ultra-premium slab segment with class-leading display brightness, serious camera hardware, long-term software support, and a rugged, ultra-thin design. The Razr Fold, meanwhile, signals that Motorola wants a real seat at the table in the book-style foldable category, moving beyond nostalgia flips into full productivity-class foldables.

If you’re a power user, creator, or just love being the first to try new tech, 2026 is shaping up to be your year. Motorola’s “flip, fold, and flex” lineup means you’ll have more high-end choices than ever. Want a classic phone that handles it all? Go for it. Craving a foldable that switches from phone to tablet on the fly? That’s on the table, too. Motorola just turned Week 2 into something worth talking about.
