Motorola has officially disrupted the premium segment with the launch of the Motorola Signature in India today, January 23, 2026. This device marks the debut of a new “luxury flagship” category that combines impossible thinness with raw power.
The Design: 6.99mm Engineering Record
The most striking feature is the build. At just 6.99mm thin and 186g, it feels like a piece of glass in the hand.
- Finishes: Available in Pantone Martini Olive (twill-inspired) and Pantone Carbon (linen-inspired).
- Durability: Unlike most slim phones, this is MIL-STD-810H military-grade tough and features IP68/IP69 protection—meaning it can survive high-pressure water jets and deep submersion.
Display: A 6,200-Nit Visual Beast
- The 6.8-inch Extreme AMOLED panel is officially the brightest on the planet.
- Super HD Resolution: 2780 x 1264 (446ppi) with a 95.23% screen-to-body ratio.
- Fluidity: Up to 165Hz refresh rate with LTPO technology for battery efficiency.
- Water Touch: A specialized algorithm that allows you to use the screen perfectly even with wet fingers or in heavy rain.
Performance: Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 Powerhouse
Under the hood, the Signature utilizes the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 (3nm) chipset.
- Memory & Storage: Up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and a massive 1TB UFS 4.1 storage option.
- Software Longevity: Motorola is promising 7 years of Android OS and Security updates, shipping with Android 16 out of the box.
- Cooling: A copper mesh liquid metal cooling system ensures the ultra-thin frame doesn’t throttle during heavy gaming.
Camera: The Triple 50MP Sony LYTIA System
Motorola has earned the DXOMARK Gold Label for this setup:
- Main: 50MP Sony LYTIA 828 (2.44µm Ultra Pixel, f/1.6, OIS).
- Telephoto: 50MP Periscope (Sony LYTIA 600) with 3x Optical and 100x Super Zoom Pro.
- Ultrawide: 50MP with 122° FOV and specialized Macro focus.
- Video: The only phone in its class supporting 8K Dolby Vision at 30fps.
Battery & Charging
Despite its 6.99mm profile, it houses a high-density 5200mAh Silicon-Carbon battery.
- Wired: 90W TurboPower (Full charge in approx. 35-40 mins).
- Wireless: 50W TurboPower.
- Reverse: 10W Wireless / 5W Wired (to charge your earbuds or watch).

Which one should you choose?
The Motorola Signature is for the user who wants a lightweight, stylish phone that feels premium and will last 7 years. It wins on display brightness, slimness, and front-camera quality (vlogging).
The OnePlus 15 is for the hardcore gamer and power user. With the Snapdragon 8 Elite and the massive 7,300 mAh battery, it is built for 2-day usage and extreme gaming, though it is significantly thicker and heavier.
Fact-Check Note
The ₹13,000 price gap is the biggest talking point today. Motorola is being very aggressive by offering a 1TB variant (₹69,999) for less than the price of the base OnePlus 15 (₹72,999).
