The microsite suggests the phone may feature a fabric-finished rear panel and a flat display with slim bezels.

The microsite shows that the phone’s right side will have the volume buttons and the power button. Another button is placed on the left side, which may be used to open the camera or set up as a shortcut for AI features or other tasks.Previous leaks suggest that the Motorola Signature could be a rebranded version of the Motorola Edge 70 Ultra.

It is expected to be paired with the Adreno 829 GPU.According to the leak, Motorola Signature could run an Android 16-based UI, likely Motorola's own Hello UI, which is close to stock Android but now also includes ads and bloatware. The device is also expected to come with 16GB of RAM, which indicates its positioning in the premium segment.The tipster also shared that the Motorola Signature could come in two colour variants: Carbon and Martini Olive. It is expected to feature a 6.7-inch 1.5K OLED display and a triple-camera setup on the back, with one of the cameras potentially a telephoto lens.With the Motorola Signature being a new addition to the series, it is unclear which price segment the company will position the device in.
