Motorola Moto One with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Might be the Perfect Signature 27 Replacement · eSIM STUDIOS Podcast - Tech News + Reviews

  All right, if you're looking for a Motorola Signature
• 0:03
  27 alternative, I think I found one. Don't give
• 0:08
  your hopes up. Let's go. All right, so I've done
• 0:21
  a number of videos in regards to the upcoming
• 0:25
  Motorola Signature 27 and its hefty, hefty price
• 0:29
  tag of $1 ,732 after taxes. And I had a live
• 0:35
  stream yesterday. Somebody brought up a new device
• 0:40
  that was uncovered and I essentially downplayed
• 0:43
  it and said, don't expect too much out of it.
• 0:46
  Let's take a listen to what I said. The Moto
• 0:49
  One is being re -released. I wouldn't put any
• 0:52
  hope for dreams into this Motorola One thing.
• 0:57
  To be honest with you, I've looked into it and
• 0:59
  I think what they're doing is a cheap phone.
• 1:01
  It's going to be like a $300, $400, $500 phone
• 1:04
  that they're going to put Android One on. i think
• 1:08
  i got excited when i saw that too i was like
• 1:11
  whoa cool where did this come from all right
• 1:14
  that's enough well apparently i didn't do enough
• 1:18
  research so i had a subscriber reach out and
• 1:23
  they said hey uh you might want to take a second
• 1:26
  look at that motorola moto one and i was like
• 1:30
  huh okay so i did a deep dive on it and yeah
• 1:35
  it looks pretty promising so the signature in
• 1:43
  my opinion the 27 is going to be a flop at least
• 1:47
  here in the united states probably in most places
• 1:50
  just because of how ungodly expensive this thing
• 1:53
  is one thousand seven hundred thirty two dollars
• 1:56
  after taxes is an insane price for a device that
• 2:00
  doesn't even get monthly updates now yeah it's
• 2:03
  number two on the dxo mark list It has flagship
• 2:07
  specs. Going to get a fantastic camera experience.
• 2:10
  But again, no phone is perfect, right? No monthly
• 2:13
  updates. It's only going to have LPDDR5X RAM
• 2:17
  when the upcoming S27 Ultra is going to have
• 2:21
  LPDDR6 RAM. And the Signature 27... only is i
• 2:26
  say only gonna have ufs storage 4 .1 while the
• 2:29
  s27 ultra is going to have ufs storage 5 .0 so
• 2:32
  you can clearly see it's got a hefty hefty price
• 2:34
  tag but technically it's not bringing you the
• 2:36
  very top -notch specs now i did mention yesterday
• 2:40
  only if motorola could bring us potentially a
• 2:47
  og signature like experience the signature that
• 2:51
  was launched about 10 months ago because that
• 2:55
  device had the non -elite flagship snapdragon
• 2:59
  cpu but everything else was top -notch i mean
• 3:01
  if you go if you actually look at the specs when
• 3:03
  it was released the only thing that wasn't the
• 3:05
  very best of the best was the cpu and it's still
• 3:10
  technically a flagship cpu and it was a fantastic
• 3:13
  device on damn near perfect so i always say well
• 3:17
  why can't motorola just do the same thing keep
• 3:20
  the price a little lower right by going with
• 3:23
  the watered down cpu the non -extreme version
• 3:26
  well apparently this motor this new motorola
• 3:30
  one is doing just that now if you're unfamiliar
• 3:34
  with what motorola one is that was popular back
• 3:38
  in i think 2016 or 17. I did have a Moto One.
• 3:46
  It was the X4, Motorola X4. It ran on the Android
• 3:50
  One operating system. It was essentially, at
• 3:54
  that time, a flagship device with running stock
• 3:59
  Android. And I freaking loved that phone. I loved
• 4:03
  that phone. And it looks like they might be bringing
• 4:06
  that back. So in this new Motorola One leak that
• 4:13
  we have, it looks like it is official it looks
• 4:16
  like it is coming a a flagship experience with
• 4:20
  not the very best cpu to keep the price you know
• 4:25
  not 1732 and we now have proof so the unannounced
• 4:30
  moto one and we do have a model number as well
• 4:32
  the xt2711 -1 appears in a november 3rd wpc record
• 4:39
  It's HDR10 plus certification labels. The product
• 4:42
  as PRC. We're going to get into that in just
• 4:45
  a second. A Geekbench. This was also tested on
• 4:49
  Geekbench. A Geekbench development result lists
• 4:53
  the Qualcomm SM8845 Android 16 in roughly 12
• 4:57
  gigs of RAM. But nothing is definitive about
• 5:01
  the retail. price. Motorola's One 5G Ace launched
• 5:06
  in the US. That was the very last Motorola One
• 5:10
  device launched in the United States back in
• 5:13
  2021. So describing the new phone as the first
• 5:17
  one since 2019 is a little bit premature. So
• 5:21
  I have a little bit of good news and a little
• 5:23
  bit of bad news. Good news is it looks like Motorola
• 5:25
  is producing a new Motorola One device, meaning
• 5:31
  kind of bringing you flagship specs with not
• 5:34
  the very best cpu to keep that price a little
• 5:37
  lower but the prc labeling on the wireless charging
• 5:45
  certification means it's the public it's the
• 5:48
  public people's republic of china prc so it looks
• 5:55
  like it will be manufactured and launched however
• 5:59
  it looks like it might be coming to china well
• 6:03
  it is coming to china if it's labeled prc people's
• 6:06
  republic of china there's a possibility that
• 6:09
  motorola launches this in other markets look
• 6:14
  motorola has a bunch of cool phones i was just
• 6:18
  looking at the moto edge 70 pro plus a badass
• 6:25
  phone for 500 bucks a badass phone for 500 bucks
• 6:30
  I, for the life of me, I don't understand why
• 6:36
  Motorola holds back its best devices from the
• 6:41
  United States. The Moto Edge 70 Pro Plus, I think
• 6:46
  is just launched in India. And I'm going to,
• 6:49
  I'll put some specs up on the screen, but it's
• 6:52
  badass. I mean, it's got, look, it has the MediaTek
• 6:57
  Dimensity 8500 Extreme. 9000 series which is
• 7:02
  their elite of elite but again i'm okay with
• 7:06
  having just the notch down from the very best
• 7:09
  cpu that they manufacture i'm okay with having
• 7:12
  that one step down just as long as it's not a
• 7:14
  mid -tier or lower tier if it's in that top or
• 7:17
  top tier part a section of cpus and performance
• 7:21
  i'm cool with that these things these cpus have
• 7:24
  gotten so strong just in the last two to three
• 7:27
  years it's It'll be fine for most everybody,
• 7:32
  99 % of everybody. I just don't understand why
• 7:35
  they don't bring some of these options to the
• 7:38
  United States. Since OnePlus left the market,
• 7:41
  it's like the only thing we have available is
• 7:46
  just ultra premium flagship phones, and that's
• 7:48
  it, right? The iPhone 18 Pro Max, the Google
• 7:52
  Pixel 11 Pro XL, the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra
• 7:57
  and or upcoming S27 Ultra. And obviously, the
• 8:01
  Motorola Signature 27. And that's it. All of
• 8:03
  these phones are like north of $1 ,500. And it's
• 8:07
  insane. Again, I don't understand why these companies
• 8:11
  don't take the OnePlus model and apply it to
• 8:14
  the United States. They would sell out. If Motorola
• 8:19
  could bring a flagship experience like this upcoming
• 8:23
  Motorola One phone to the U .S. And look, you
• 8:27
  get flagship experience. and they asked what
• 8:30
  was the oneplus 15 it was i think 899 at launch
• 8:33
  flagship specs 899 now i know that was essentially
• 8:38
  12 13 14 months ago probably 13 months ago so
• 8:44
  i guess technically the prices the the cost of
• 8:48
  of memory has gone up the the cpu prices have
• 8:51
  gone up so okay so if you don't introduce a like
• 8:55
  flagship phone at 890 at 900 bucks at least introduce
• 9:00
  something at a thousand bucks right a hundred
• 9:02
  dollar increase because everything else is increasing
• 9:04
  okay so give it give us something at a thousand
• 9:07
  bucks that still looks a lot better than 15 .99
• 9:12
  like i i just don't understand why nobody's taking
• 9:16
  this oneplus model and applying it back to the
• 9:19
  us market because we are starving for value that's
• 9:23
  what oneplus gave us was value and i just don't
• 9:28
  know why everybody's just shooting for the stars
• 9:30
  for these ultra premium flagship phones and we
• 9:33
  discussed this again like i'm not gonna beat
• 9:35
  a dead horse again but i mean at some point the
• 9:39
  price is gonna get so insane and i think we're
• 9:42
  there right now where people are just gonna back
• 9:44
  off right so here's what you might want to do
• 9:48
  if you may be interested in the signature 27
• 9:51
  um but it's a little too expensive look the upcoming
• 9:55
  s27 ultra Here's what I would do. I know you
• 9:58
  can go out and purchase the Motorola Signature
• 10:02
  27 here in, I think, a week or a week and a half.
• 10:06
  It'll be for sale on Amazon, Motorola's website,
• 10:08
  or Best Buy. But at $1 ,732, it's mad expensive.
• 10:15
  Here's what might be the smart thing to do. Motorola,
• 10:20
  I keep on getting messages from a bunch of viewers
• 10:22
  and subscribers saying Motorola has... flash
• 10:25
  sales all the time so a lot of people said they're
• 10:29
  just going to wait a month or so maybe two months
• 10:31
  for the price to drop black friday sales christmas
• 10:34
  sales um trust me motorola is going to drop the
• 10:37
  price significantly on this signature 27 when
• 10:41
  the upcoming s27 ultra comes out because they
• 10:44
  want you to buy the motorola over the new samsung
• 10:46
  here's what you might do by that time because
• 10:50
  i think the s27 ultra is slated to come out It's
• 10:54
  going to be announced in January, and it's going
• 10:56
  to be announced in late January and up for sale
• 11:00
  in early February. That's what, three, four months
• 11:04
  away? Here's what you can do. In three to four
• 11:07
  months, this new Motorola Moto One phone is going
• 11:12
  to be out and available. Look, if it's getting
• 11:15
  all of its certifications right now, that means
• 11:17
  it's pretty freaking close to being launched.
• 11:19
  By that time, this Motorola One phone should
• 11:21
  be out, and by then we'll know. if it's available
• 11:24
  in the u .s officially and even if it's not let's
• 11:27
  just say they sell it in china uh in in india
• 11:30
  right those are two hot spots for motorola well
• 11:35
  you can still go and buy this on this motorola
• 11:37
  one if it's for sale on ebay uh the india model
• 11:41
  in in imported that's what i did with my signature
• 11:44
  my og signature and then motorola is also gonna
• 11:50
  have sales on the signature 27 around late january
• 11:54
  early february and then the s27 ultra will be
• 11:57
  launched so you'll have three phones to kind
• 12:01
  of choose from if you're interested in potentially
• 12:04
  a new flagship smartphone so i think that's probably
• 12:07
  the best choice and here's i think what i'm going
• 12:10
  to do i know these signature as i mentioned 27
• 12:13
  will be available here in a couple weeks even
• 12:16
  at best buy i'll probably go to best buy and
• 12:18
  look at it but i think i'm not going to buy it
• 12:20
  right off of the bat I think what I'm going to
• 12:22
  do is what a lot of my subscribers have mentioned.
• 12:27
  I think I'm going to wait a month or two, see
• 12:30
  what the Black Friday sales bring, see what Christmas
• 12:32
  sales bring. Hell, even potentially, I might
• 12:35
  even get the S27 Ultra and the Signature 27 right
• 12:39
  off the bat. Because, you know, at launch, especially
• 12:42
  for Samsung, that's the best time to buy one
• 12:44
  of their phones. But then I know the Signature
• 12:46
  Motorola is going to drop the price on the Signature
• 12:48
  to try to get. you know, pull buyers off of the
• 12:51
  Samsung and buy the signature. So there's going
• 12:53
  to be some good sales on this signature. I think
• 12:55
  I'm going to wait a few months, a couple months
• 12:57
  to get mine. Look, nobody's sending me phones
• 13:01
  here. I got to buy all my phones by myself, which...
• 13:05
  I kind of prefer it that way, so I don't feel
• 13:08
  influenced to say something always good about
• 13:11
  these devices that get sent to me. I don't think
• 13:14
  I would in the first place, but I'd rather just
• 13:17
  buy it anyways. If this Motorola One phone interests
• 13:19
  you, you've got to subscribe to the channel.
• 13:21
  I'm going to keep a very, very close eye on this
• 13:23
  new Motorola One phone to see if it's going to
• 13:27
  be officially available for the US, or at the
• 13:29
  very least, if it's not, to see if it's available
• 13:31
  in India. buyers can import it uh to the us because
• 13:36
  i think that's a really good option and again
• 13:38
  i did that with my og signature so and i didn't
• 13:41
  have any issues no import fees nothing i'll find
• 13:44
  i'm pretty sure the seller from uh that i got
• 13:47
  my signature from on ebay should have some of
• 13:50
  these motorola ones if they are available in
• 13:53
  china i would not buy this if it's china only
• 13:55
  i'm just putting that out there i just wouldn't
