Motorola Signature: Slim Phone, Pro Camera

With the new Signature, Motorola debuts in the premium smartphone segment, dominated by Applefocusing on photographic materials and characteristics. The new Signature in fact boasts advanced sensors to support photographic and video features as well as showing off a slim design and refined and distinctive materials, the latter factor on which Motorola has focused heavily and which has allowed the brand to be part of the group Lenovo to continue to grow in a market, that of smartphones, which last year saw a contraction of 7% globally and even 10% for devices Android.

With a thickness of 6.99 millimeters and a weight of 186 grams Motorola Signaturewhich has an official price of 1.299 eurocomes in two colors, Martini Olive e Carbonand a fabric cover finish connected to the aluminum frame which gives an elegant and decidedly premium look to the smartphone, emphasized by the 6.8-inch display slightly curved on all sides. The rear photographic group, which contains the three lenses and the flash, protrudes significantly considering the slim design of the smartphone, but the width of more than half the phone makes the Signature stable if placed on a surface, while the frame boasts IP69 certified dust and liquid protection and resistance to impacts and scratches with the glass Gorilla Glass 2.

Comfortable to hold thanks to the thin thickness and the material of the cover, which resembles linen to the touch, Signature offers a premium experience in all areas, from photography to the use of apps and multimedia content up to video games, which it supports best thanks to the processor Snapdragon 8 gen 5 combined with 16 GB of RAM and a cooling system that has proven itself even with titles like Genshin Impact which squeeze all the power out of the chip, even if in the case of prolonged sessions you can feel the heat generated even though the processor slows down the frequency to avoid overheating.

Display with realistic colors and quality audio

Performance is excellent with all kinds of applications, even in multitasking mode, helped by the overall ergonomics and the generous size of the display, a Amoled which proved to be bright and above all characterized by excellent color fidelity thanks to the color validation in partnership with Pantone. The ability of the display to instantly vary the refresh rate from 1 a 165 Hz and the brightness helped to contain energy consumption, reaching autonomy well beyond a normal day of use. The battery gives 5.200 mAh has a fast charging system from 90 Watt via a compatible charger, not included in the supply, and 50 Watt in wireless mode always with an adapter to be purchased separately.

The use of videos, and multimedia content in general, can also count on the excellent audio system, with double speakers created in partnership with Bose which has proven to be very valid, especially taking into account the thickness of the Signature.

Sony sensors and advanced optical stabilization

Motorola has focused heavily on the photographic capabilities of its top of the range by adopting sensors Sony latest generation and generous dimensions, all with native resolution of 50 megapixel. The main camera has a sensor Sony Lytia 828 with an advanced optical image stabilization system and is supported by an ultra-wide-angle lens with autofocus system and a telephoto lens with sensor Lytia 600 e zoom periscopico with optical magnification 3X and optical lens stabilization. During the test, the color fidelity tested with a colorimeter proved to be excellent, although Motorola opted for a decent color saturation especially in the red spectrum, with realistic colors even in less than ideal light conditions, especially with the excellent main camera. Sharp and well-detailed photos also for the ultra-wide-angle lens, especially in ideal light conditions, with a slight geometric deformation, and for the telephoto lens, which thanks to the effective stabilization and definition of the sensor allows further details to be cut out without losing sharpness. The quality of the videos that can be recorded in is also very good Dolby Vision up to quality 4K a 60 frame o 8K a 30 frame with all focal lengths, even if in non-ideal light conditions they do not reach photo levels, especially for ultra-wide angle and telephoto lenses. The portraits are excellent, with effective work by the algorithms for simulating the depth of field which allows the subject in the foreground to be separated from the background in a realistic and effective way.

Motorola confirms with Signature its choice to offer an essential version of Android, in version 16 con seven years of updatesof updates, to the benefit of system stability, enriched however by a series of convenient utilities for customizing the interface and functions for managing the telephone and the most common operations, created in a simple and easy to find way for everyone.
