Motorola’s wild-looking Signature 27 runs Qualcomm’s new Extreme chipset

摩托罗拉外观狂野的 Signature 27 搭载高通新款 Extreme 芯片

Motorola is the first company to announce a phone running Qualcomm’s top-end Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chip. The Signature 27 looks set to be Motorola’s most advanced flagship in some years, though we’re still waiting for the full specs, price, and release date.

摩托罗拉是首家宣布推出搭载高通顶级骁龙 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 芯片手机的公司。Signature 27 看起来有望成为摩托罗拉近年来最先进的旗舰产品,尽管我们仍在等待其完整规格、价格和发布日期。

Any prospective buyers will first have to get over the design, which seems guaranteed to earn mixed reception. The aluminum phone has a thin body, available in either black (sorry, “Pantone coal smoke”) or green (“Pantone capulet olive”), with a woven tactical texture on one and a “feather-inspired” finish on the other. Either way, it slopes upwards into what Motorola calls a “camera plane,” with four lenses and a flash in an odd arch layout. It’s certainly unique.

任何潜在买家首先得接受它的外观设计,这注定会引发褒贬不一的评价。这款铝制手机机身纤薄,提供黑色(抱歉,官方称为“潘通煤烟色”)或绿色(“潘通凯普莱特橄榄色”)可选,前者采用编织战术纹理,后者则采用“羽毛灵感”饰面。无论哪种颜色,机身都会向上倾斜,形成摩托罗拉所谓的“相机平面”,其四个镜头和一个闪光灯以奇特的拱形布局排列。这无疑是非常独特的。

Only a handful of the Signature 27’s specs have been confirmed, but they’re more appealing to me than the design. The B&O logo by the cameras gives away that Bang & Olufsen has helped design the audio, though the specifics are still unknown. There’s the promise of seven years of Android updates, still rare for Motorola. The cameras will include a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto and a 50-megapixel main camera — the latter is more exciting for using Sony’s LOFIC-enabled Lytia 910 sensor, also seen in this week’s Vivo X500 Pro Max, where it enables 17 stops of dynamic range. Hopefully Motorola’s phone matches that.

目前仅确认了 Signature 27 的少数规格,但它们比设计本身更吸引我。摄像头旁边的 B&O 标志表明 Bang & Olufsen 参与了音频设计,尽管具体细节尚不清楚。摩托罗拉还承诺提供七年的安卓系统更新,这在摩托罗拉的产品中依然罕见。摄像头方面将包括一颗 2 亿像素的潜望式长焦镜头和一颗 5000 万像素的主摄像头——后者更令人兴奋,因为它采用了支持 LOFIC 技术的索尼 Lytia 910 传感器,该传感器也出现在本周发布的 Vivo X500 Pro Max 上,能够实现 17 档动态范围。希望摩托罗拉的这款手机也能达到同样的水平。

Motorola says more details about the Signature 27 are on the way, with a global launch due before the end of the year. Unlike the first Motorola Signature, from earlier this year, that will include the US.

摩托罗拉表示,有关 Signature 27 的更多细节即将公布,全球发布计划定于今年年底前进行。与今年早些时候推出的首款 Motorola Signature 不同,此次发布将包含美国市场。
