Motorola has officially confirmed the India launch timeline of its new flagship smartphone, the Motorola Signature. The handset is set to debut in the country in the third week of January, with the company now locking in the launch date as January 23. Motorola has also confirmed that the smartphone will be sold exclusively via Flipkart and will arrive in two Pantone-curated colour options.
The Motorola Signature is positioned as a premium offering and will be powered by a Snapdragon 8 series chipset from Qualcomm. While the exact chip name wasn’t initially revealed, the company has confirmed that the phone will support up to 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of internal storage. Motorola has also highlighted several multimedia-focused features, including Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, Sound by Bose, and a 5,200mAh silicon carbon battery.
A Flipkart microsite dedicated to the Motorola Signature has gone live, confirming key details ahead of the launch. The phone will be available in Pantone Martini Olive and Pantone Carbon colourways, staying in line with Motorola’s recent focus on design-led finishes.
Ahead of the official pricing announcement, the India box price of the Motorola Signature recently surfaced online. The price leak from the box indicates a price in the range of Rs. 84,999 for the highest variant with 16GB RAM and 1TB internal storage. This is normally the case with products launched in the Indian market, and the final price will likely turn out different. At this time, the official price is yet to come out from Motorola.
In terms of cameras, it has now been validated that the chipset will come with a triple-camera setup on the rear, which will include a 50MP Sony LYT-828 sensor and will support optical zoom of up to 3.5 times. Additionally, it will house an aluminium body, with a thickness of 6.99 mm and a weight of approximately 186 grams.
