Motorola Signature 27 is the weirdest flagship I’ve seen in a long time — but it packs Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 and a 200MP telephoto
I suspect the remaining openings house an ultrawide shooter and a secondary telephoto camera, with the final cutout clearly serving as the LED flash. Either way, that 200MP telephoto sensor opens the door to serious zoom reach and crisp reframing, which could deliver impressive results when backed by new image-processing algorithms. I'm confident about its potential, especially given the stellar telephoto performance I saw on the Razr Fold compared to the Pixel 11 Pro Fold.
