• 0:00
  so if you're in clue tax you're looking at close
• 0:03
  to two thousand dollars for a flagship motorola
• 0:09
  phone like what the hell's going on i think health
• 0:13
  froze over because i don't see anybody buying
• 0:17
  this phone at that price welcome back to esim
• 0:30
  studios we got big news today so the motorola
• 0:33
  signature 27 we know we were getting close to
• 0:36
  launch and As you get closer to launch day, you
• 0:39
  get more and more specs that get leaked to the
• 0:42
  public. And guess what? Well, we now have an
• 0:45
  official launch date. We're going to get to the
• 0:48
  price. We got leaked yesterday. But today we
• 0:52
  got word that the launch date is set for Thursday,
• 0:56
  November the 5th, which is six days away. Big
• 1:01
  news. This is going to be a global rollout for
• 1:05
  the United States, for India, for the rest of
• 1:08
  the world i expect motorola to do an announcement
• 1:12
  and essentially do a pre -order period where
• 1:17
  you can pre -order the device now when will it
• 1:21
  actually get to your hands well probably two
• 1:25
  weeks after that so you're looking at late november
• 1:29
  to when you can actually have it in your hands
• 1:31
  now for my united states viewers you should be
• 1:34
  able to order this on Motorola's website one
• 1:38
  thing we do not know is if this is going to come
• 1:42
  to the carriers I hope it does because I'm going
• 1:45
  to be honest with you I don't think they're going
• 1:47
  to sell a lot of these just on Motorola's website
• 1:50
  alone sure they're going to have pre -ordered
• 1:53
  deals uh trade -in offers but remember this is
• 1:57
  going to be a very very expensive device from
• 2:02
  the looks of it the leaked Portuguese online
• 2:06
  retailer that briefly had the Motorola Signature
• 2:10
  27 up for sale on their website was listed for
• 2:14
  1 ,595 euros. That comes out to approximately
• 2:19
  $1 ,770. That's without tax. So if you include
• 2:28
  tax, you're looking at close to $2 ,000. for
• 2:34
  a flagship Motorola phone. Like, what the hell's
• 2:38
  going on? I think hell froze over. Because I
• 2:42
  don't see anybody buying this phone at that price.
• 2:45
  Now, that doesn't mean it's going to be introduced
• 2:48
  to the U .S. at that equivalent price. They always
• 2:52
  do price adjustments for these devices. So where
• 2:57
  do I think it'll land at? uh probably i'm gonna
• 3:02
  say 1500 i think they're gonna reduce it quite
• 3:04
  a bit because i would like to think people inside
• 3:08
  motorola would know that that's a hefty price
• 3:12
  tag and does it really bring you that many benefits
• 3:16
  over a s20 well currently an s26 ultra and here
• 3:21
  in a couple months the upcoming s27 ultra if
• 3:25
  motorola prices this signature 27 over the s27
• 3:29
  ultra and look and i think it's going to be we're
• 3:32
  not talking 50 bucks here it's going to be priced
• 3:34
  if it comes in at 1500 it's going to be at least
• 3:37
  100 more expensive than the s27 ultra i think
• 3:42
  let's get back to availability so if motorola
• 3:47
  wants to move some of these units and only i
• 3:52
  mentioned this the other day only motorola knows
• 3:54
  how many units they need to move to classify
• 3:58
  this as a success. I'm talking about internally
• 4:01
  from Motorola. I don't know what that number
• 4:04
  is. It's probably more than a million. Remember,
• 4:07
  this is not Apple. This is not Samsung. A few
• 4:11
  million, I think, is probably where they're going
• 4:13
  to be at. But again, if you want to sell these
• 4:17
  in the United States, Motorola, I'm giving you
• 4:21
  the benefit of the doubt that you know this.
• 4:25
  However, i kind of want to take a step back because
• 4:28
  with a lot of these decisions and not just motorola
• 4:31
  but i second guess a lot of these companies in
• 4:35
  these decisions that they make for their products
• 4:39
  whether it's samsung whether it's nothing right
• 4:42
  nothing has had its fair share of issues like
• 4:45
  bonehead decisions and it just makes me wonder
• 4:47
  who are y 'all hiring to make these decisions
• 4:52
  like we'll have to wait and see and i will blast
• 4:56
  to motorola if they deserve to be blasted i do
• 5:01
  not see motorola having any success here in the
• 5:04
  united states if this is anything over 1500 bucks
• 5:09
  and that's even pushing it i mean let's let's
• 5:12
  say and look here's the other here's the other
• 5:14
  thing this is for that retail listing i was talking
• 5:18
  about on the portuguese retail website for 1594
• 5:23
  euros that comes out to 1770 us dollars that
• 5:28
  was for the 12 gigs of ram 512 gigs of storage
• 5:32
  which technically is a downgrade over the current
• 5:35
  signature because the current 512 gig signature
• 5:38
  has 16 gigabytes of ram so they're almost doing
• 5:41
  a samsung like thing here where they're giving
• 5:44
  you less specs and they're going to charge you
• 5:47
  more for it now I think we're going to have to
• 5:50
  get used to that because we're in that time of
• 5:53
  day where the memory is just so freaking expensive.
• 5:57
  They really don't have any other choice, which
• 6:00
  again, let's get back to the retailers. How can
• 6:04
  you honestly expect to sell a decent number of
• 6:07
  these in the US if this is not in the retailer?
• 6:11
  So let's say now Motorola is already in the retailer.
• 6:16
  So this is not like a one plus scenario. where,
• 6:20
  God, they have to fight tooth and nail to get
• 6:23
  in the carriers. Remember when they got into
• 6:25
  Motorola, excuse me, remember when they got into
• 6:27
  T -Mobile? And before that, I think they sold
• 6:31
  one, I think they started at Verizon, OnePlus,
• 6:35
  and then they stopped selling at Verizon a model
• 6:38
  or two, and then they got into T -Mobile for
• 6:41
  two or three models, and then they exited. Motorola
• 6:45
  is already in every single carrier here so it's
• 6:48
  not like they're going to be fighting tooth and
• 6:49
  nail to get in a carrier they're already in these
• 6:53
  carriers so that's why I'm guessing that Motorola
• 6:56
  is going to present these at the carrier I did
• 7:00
  a quick search before I recorded this on the
• 7:03
  internet to see are there any stories because
• 7:06
  a lot of times a lot of these models There will
• 7:10
  be an employee of AT &T or T -Mobile that will
• 7:15
  kind of leak online on a burner account so they
• 7:19
  don't get fired or they don't get in trouble.
• 7:21
  They'll put out a post on social media saying,
• 7:25
  oh, look at this marketing material we got for
• 7:28
  the signature and this is at AT &T or look at
• 7:31
  what we got here at T -Mobile. hell even best
• 7:35
  buy has done that even before pixels are launched
• 7:37
  uh you'll get pixel advertising material at a
• 7:41
  best buy so you know it's going to go to best
• 7:43
  buy there is nothing i could find i searched
• 7:47
  all social medias and i searched google to pull
• 7:51
  a search from all the internet to find try to
• 7:54
  find one little sliver of information where any
• 7:57
  hint that this could be introduced at the carriers
• 8:01
  i didn't see anything but that doesn't mean that
• 8:03
  they're it it won't be introduced because again
• 8:06
  it's next thursday they're launching it well
• 8:08
  this material this marketing material that gets
• 8:12
  shipped to these carriers and to best buy they
• 8:15
  might ship it out today and it might get to them
• 8:17
  on monday right a few days before the launch
• 8:20
  and they'll put out a team to set up this display
• 8:22
  or these these signs or whatever you know you
• 8:25
  know what i'm talking about so we still might
• 8:28
  see that here uh on monday of this upcoming week
• 8:31
  because the following thursday a few days after
• 8:34
  this upcoming monday is when they're going to
• 8:36
  announce it pre -order i expect it to be in the
• 8:39
  carriers and and i believe it's going to be sold
• 8:43
  at best buy fingers crossed i have no clue but
• 8:47
  we shall see i want to i want to briefly discuss
• 8:52
  the specs here and this might roll into a bigger
• 8:58
  question and i think i'm going to do a separate
• 9:01
  video for this and if i do i'll put a link down
• 9:04
  below but it comes to the to the processor we
• 9:10
  all know samsung there is a report that they're
• 9:13
  having issues with this new snapdragon 8 elite
• 9:16
  extreme gen 6 overheating and essentially samsung
• 9:20
  developers as they're getting ready to push out
• 9:25
  the schematics to the manufacturers because they're
• 9:29
  going to start producing millions of these the
• 9:32
  device was overheating during testing with this
• 9:34
  snapdragon cpu well that same over overheating
• 9:38
  snapdragon cpu is going to be in this motorola
• 9:41
  signature 27. now it does sound like Even if
• 9:46
  that was true, even if it does overheat, it sounds
• 9:49
  like Motorola has equipped this Signature 27
• 9:52
  with an enormous cooling system. Now, there's
• 9:54
  no fans or anything like a Red Magic phone, but
• 9:57
  they have this diamond -infused thermal gel in
• 10:03
  a custom 3D -printed vapor chamber that's 40
• 10:08
  % bigger than the current Motorola Signature.
• 10:14
  That kind of makes me wonder, damn, was this
• 10:15
  CPU overheating? Did they really have to go that
• 10:18
  far on cooling to get this thing chilled out?
• 10:21
  Literally and figuratively? Possibly. But look,
• 10:26
  this one, I guess time will tell. We will find
• 10:28
  out shortly. So this is coming with that Qualcomm
• 10:32
  Snapdragon 80 Elite Extreme Gen 6. And it's going
• 10:38
  to have a 6 .8 inch AMOLED. Display, 165 hertz
• 10:42
  refresh rate. Supposedly rumored to have 1264
• 10:45
  by 2780 pixels. Camera system, you're getting
• 10:48
  a 50 megapixel Sony Leica 910 main sensor with
• 10:51
  OIS. You're getting a 200 megapixel periscope
• 10:53
  telephoto lens with up to 100x zoom. You're getting
• 10:57
  a 50 megapixel ultra wide camera. Battery, here's
• 11:00
  a big deal. 7 ,000 million per hour silicon carbon
• 11:04
  battery. 90 watt charging. 50 watt wireless charging.
• 11:07
  Audio tuned by Bang & Olufsen. Software is getting
• 11:10
  Android 17 right out of the box. Now, you're
• 11:14
  getting up to 7 years of major OS updates. And
• 11:19
  this was cause for concern for a number of people.
• 11:22
  Because why are they saying up to? When Samsung
• 11:25
  says you get 7 years of updates. Google says
• 11:28
  you get 7 years of updates. Why is Motorola saying...
• 11:31
  You're getting up to seven years of updates.
• 11:34
  That sounds like they're not too confident in
• 11:37
  whether or not they're going to issue seven years
• 11:39
  of updates or not, right? I want them to be confident
• 11:42
  in their update schedule. I want them to be steadfast
• 11:46
  and rock solid on their security because here's
• 11:49
  another strike against them. They're not putting
• 11:53
  out monthly updates on the signature. On the
• 11:56
  original signature they do and on the Razer Fold
• 11:59
  they're putting out monthly updates. This is
• 12:01
  getting bi -monthly updates. Why the freak are
• 12:05
  you putting out bi -monthly updates? Now, I know
• 12:07
  I've been on a rant on this before, but that's
• 12:11
  unexcusable. If you're going to go neck and neck
• 12:14
  with the best premium flagship phones here in
• 12:18
  the United States, or shall I say the world,
• 12:21
  like here in the U .S., the upcoming S27 Ultra,
• 12:27
  the Pixel 11 Pro XL, those do monthly updates.
• 12:30
  Why can't Motorola do monthly updates, huh? What
• 12:33
  the freak is going on over there, Motorola? What's
• 12:35
  up with that? Now, they can change that. And
• 12:38
  the only way they are going to change it is pressure
• 12:40
  from me and you. We have to voice our opinion
• 12:43
  on this. Now, I know some of y 'all don't care.
• 12:47
  Some say, yeah, I'm okay with bi -monthly updates.
• 12:50
  You know, I'm cool with that. I'm not. I'm not
• 12:53
  cool with that. And I'm going to leave y 'all
• 12:55
  with this. I don't know what I'm going to do
• 12:58
  with this phone. I want you to comment down below
• 13:00
  what your intentions are with this phone. Are
• 13:03
  you interested? Are you not interested? Motorola
• 13:06
  has announced it is going to have Graphene OS
• 13:11
  compatibility, so you will be able to flash Graphene
• 13:14
  OS, but do you have interest in this signature?
• 13:17
  Do you not have interest in this signature? Here
• 13:20
  is my dilemma. I've stated in the past and I
• 13:24
  will continue to state this. I do not want to
• 13:28
  use a phone that does not get monthly updates
• 13:30
  because it's right at the top of the list. I
• 13:33
  mean, it's up there with top one or two things
• 13:38
  that I look for in a device that I'm going to
• 13:42
  use. I just don't ever mention it that much because
• 13:44
  Google and Samsung have... traditionally done
• 13:48
  monthly updates for the last started doing that
• 13:50
  for years now so i don't even really mention
• 13:52
  that but with this i am i am not cool with with
• 13:56
  bi -monthly updates and i think i'm gonna stick
• 13:59
  to my guns because i would be a fraud no if y
• 14:02
  'all have heard me say in the past i'm never
• 14:04
  gonna use a phone that doesn't do monthly updates
• 14:06
  why would i why would i use a phone when they
• 14:09
  don't even care about security well this freaking
• 14:13
  signature got me in a bind because i really really
• 14:16
  like the phone And I really want to support Motorola
• 14:19
  in this new premium flagship segment that they're
• 14:23
  in. But I don't want to go back on my word and
• 14:25
  look like a fraud where I'm going to be using
• 14:27
  this phone, yet it's not getting monthly updates.
• 14:30
  So I don't know where I'm sitting at with this
• 14:33
  freaking phone. I don't know what I'm going to
• 14:35
  do. I think I want to buy it. I do want to buy
• 14:37
  it because, again, I do want to support Motorola.
• 14:39
  And I do want to show it to you, the viewer,
• 14:42
  those of y 'all that are kind of skeptical. I'll
• 14:44
  probably do that. I'll probably still head and
• 14:46
  buy it. show it on the channel review it on the
• 14:49
  channel but i don't know if i'm gonna keep it
• 14:51
  um i just don't know i just i just don't know
• 14:56
  now before we get out of here here's so here's
• 15:00
  a big miss i think they could have done what
• 15:03
  one plus i think they would be way more popular
• 15:05
  and sell way more units if they filled that void
• 15:10
  that one plus left because oneplus was giving
• 15:12
  you flagship specs cheaper than the competition
• 15:17
  And I think Motorola is semi filling this void.
• 15:21
  And I think that did play a part in Motorola's
• 15:23
  decision to bring this flat premium flagship
• 15:27
  phone to the US simply because OnePlus was leaving
• 15:30
  the market. Right. And you have a bunch of OnePlus
• 15:34
  fans and or users and or buyers in the United
• 15:38
  States. That doesn't want to use a Samsung. That
• 15:41
  doesn't want to use a Pixel. Maybe they hate
• 15:42
  Apple. Maybe they watched that video I put out
• 15:44
  yesterday where I exposed some of their nasty
• 15:47
  business practices, right? Who wants to use Apple
• 15:49
  after watching that video? Not me. So what else
• 15:55
  do they have to use? And they were previous OnePlus
• 15:57
  buyers. OnePlus was giving you a flagship phone
• 16:00
  at $900. Now, I don't expect Motorola to sell
• 16:03
  a premium flagship at $900. But don't hit us
• 16:06
  over the head with a $1 ,700 freaking phone,
• 16:10
  right? Like, at least undercut the competition.
• 16:14
  I said this the other day. $50, $100, but don't
• 16:18
  go ultra premium price tag because it's just
• 16:21
  a turnoff. It's just simply a turnoff. And if
• 16:25
  it cost you that much to build this phone and
• 16:27
  you got to put a super premium price tag on it
• 16:31
  just to turn a profit, well then, damn it. make
• 16:37
  some better choices i don't know what to tell
• 16:39
  you use the watered down uh snapdragon 8 elite
• 16:43
  gen 6 use the non -extreme cpu in this phone
• 16:47
  save a couple hundred bucks so you can save us
• 16:49
  a couple hundred bucks because that was the formula
• 16:52
  with the og signature right it used the snapdragon
• 16:55
  8 gen 5 it did not use the elite cpu and they
• 17:00
  can, you know, turn a better profit on each device
• 17:02
  sold because that CPU doesn't cost as much as
• 17:05
  the Elite or the Extreme CPU. That's what I thought
• 17:07
  they were going to do with this one, but clearly
• 17:10
  I was wrong. And clearly it's bringing a premium
• 17:13
  price tag as well. So we will have to see where
• 17:16
  this goes. Make sure you subscribe to the channel
• 17:18
  because I think this is the game plan. I think
• 17:20
  I'm going to go ahead and get one. I think I'm
• 17:22
  going to show it on the channel, compare it to
• 17:24
  some of these other devices that I have here.
• 17:26
  And then, I don't know, I may give it away. i
• 17:29
  may return it i may keep it i have no clue but
• 17:32
  i think i'm gonna get it and then go from there
• 17:35
  so i've talked way too much about it not to get
• 17:38
  it so and i do want to support another flagship
• 17:42
  device coming to the united states because we
• 17:45
  really don't have any options here but subscribe
• 17:47
  to the channel and i got a lot more motorola
• 17:50
