Motorola’s glory days are behind it where phones are concerned — but that won’t stop it from trying to re-realize those days with its newest phones.
Motorola’s latest phone, the Motorola Signature, has been leaked, and it shows a phone with Motorola’s signature looks. But more interestingly, the leaked images, which claim to be marketing material, show a suspiciously placed accessory. A stylus.
An outie, rather than an innie
Stylus phones have become a dying breed. While never enormously popular in the modern phone market, styluses have become less and less common over the years. While Samsung has helped to keep the torch lit with its defunct Galaxy Note range, and now its Galaxy Ultra phones, it’s Motorola who’s most consistently offered solid stylus phones with its Moto G Stylus phones.
And now, Motorola may be expanding its stylus support to its top phone line.
The Motorola Signature, seemingly a renamed Moto Edge 70 Ultra, has been shown in supposed promo images discovered by the team at YtechB (via GSM Arena).
The image, shown above, shows the Signature alongside an Edge 70. The Signature is pictured in “Martini Olive”, a strange goldy-green hybrid, while the Edge 70 is a “Swarovski Crystals Edition”, which includes crystals within the colorway.
But it’s what lays in front of the phones that interests us. Laying casually in front is a stylus. It’s clearly not an internal stylus, like the Galaxy S25 Ultra‘s or the Moto G Stylus’s stylus. Instead, it looks like a much larger stylus that stays separate from the phone. Its inclusion here hints at stylus support for the Motorola Signature — though whether the stylus is included with the phone will have to wait to be seen.
Strong flagship specs
We also know the phone’s prospective specifications, thanks to other leaks. The Signature is expected to offer a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 6.7-inch 1.5K OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. That’s enough to catch the eye of any flagship phone enthusiast. The camera is expected to include a 50-megapxiel main lens, and a periscope zoom lens.
The Motorola Edge has always had a confusing naming structure, so if Motorola is renaming it, it can only be for the better for the range. Hopefully the Signature manages to find a niche for itself in what has become a rather settled smartphone marketplace.
