The market for smartphones in the U.S. seems to be consistently thinning. In recent years, brands like LG and Asus have shut down their smartphone businesses entirely. OnePlus just pulled out of the country, leaving Apple, Google, and Samsung phones for stateside buyers wanting a flagship device — and not much else.
It's a completely different story for foldables, because Motorola is in the mix. You could make a strong case for the Motorola Razr Fold and Razr Ultra 2026 as the two best foldables sold in the U.S. in their respective categories.
After trying those two phones myself, and seeing the midrange Motorola Edge 2026 debut, I officially started longing for a flagship Motorola slab phone to reach North America. Turns out, I didn't have to wait long. At Snapdragon Summit, Motorola unveiled the Signature 27, a premium Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 phone set to arrive before the end of this year. I laid eyes on it, and I'm already hooked.
About this article: Qualcomm provided travel and lodging for Snapdragon Summit. The company had no input in this article, and did not see it before publishing.
Here's a preview of what you can expect from Qualcomm's new phone chip.
We don't know everything about the Motorola Signature 27, but we know enough to predict it'll be a Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (and Galaxy S27 Ultra) competitor. Motorola didn't just build the Signature 27 with flagship specs at the core, it also addressed key complaints Android users had about the prior Moto phones.
