Motorola Signature 27 Official Launch Review Specs, Price, USA Carriers, Availability & vs S27 Ultra · eSIM STUDIOS Podcast - Tech News + Reviews

• 0:00
  Motorola just announced the Signature 27. Nobody's
• 0:06
  buying this. Let's go. All right, all right.
• 0:21
  So I lied at the beginning. Maybe one, two, possibly
• 0:26
  three people are going to buy this. Let's get
• 0:29
  into it. So we're going to review the specs,
• 0:33
  availability, the price, and when you can purchase
• 0:38
  this, then we'll get into my... thoughts on this
• 0:42
  device so the signature 27 there were some specs
• 0:49
  that we were kind of unsure about that we got
• 0:51
  a little more clarity today but the motorola
• 0:55
  signature 27 is here just to highlight some of
• 0:59
  them it has a 6 .8 inch extreme amoled duo with
• 1:04
  up to 12 000 nits brightness That's pretty impressive.
• 1:10
  You get a 50 megapixel primary lens, a 200 megapixel
• 1:14
  periscope telephoto lens with up to 100x zoom,
• 1:17
  50 megapixel ultra wide and a 50 megapixel selfie
• 1:23
  camera. You get seven years up to seven years
• 1:28
  of software updates. You have bi -monthly security
• 1:33
  patches, not monthly like Samsung, like Google.
• 1:38
  This is every other month you'll get a security
• 1:40
  update. Now, something else I need to mention
• 1:43
  is that the Signature 27 was made alongside the
• 1:49
  Graphene OS Foundation. The Signature 27 will
• 1:54
  fully support Graphene OS, giving its users a
• 1:59
  chance to protect their data and privacy and
• 2:03
  all that good stuff. So there is that. Let's
• 2:06
  get into some of the camera performance because
• 2:09
  that's going to be a highlight of this device.
• 2:14
  So it was announced earlier today and I did see
• 2:18
  Motorola has been promoting. Motorola did promote
• 2:23
  this as the world's best camera phone. Number
• 2:29
  one ranking. And I was like, damn, number one?
• 2:31
  I thought it was going to come in around, I don't
• 2:33
  know, maybe three or four. Motorola saying this
• 2:36
  is number one on the DxOMark list. Best camera
• 2:40
  phones in the world. And I was like, well, damn,
• 2:44
  let me go see what the list is. And I go, I pull
• 2:49
  up the list. And what do you know? It's number
• 2:52
  two. Motorola is promoting this as the number
• 2:57
  one camera phone in the world. And then you go
• 2:59
  to DxOMark list and technically it's number two.
• 3:03
  The Huawei Pura. 80 ultra or whatever the hell
• 3:08
  that phone is called is number one. And it's
• 3:10
  been sitting at the number one spot for a couple
• 3:13
  months now. So like really Motorola going to
• 3:17
  these specs. So I want to get into the specs
• 3:19
  of this thing and we'll roll into my thoughts
• 3:22
  because I can't talk about these specs without
• 3:25
  giving you my thoughts. Uh, one of the, so look,
• 3:29
  there's Motorola signature 27. Let's face it.
• 3:34
  it's going to go up directly against its number
• 3:36
  one competitor because this is launched in the
• 3:38
  united states now its number one competitor is
• 3:41
  going to be the upcoming s27 ultra motorola signature
• 3:47
  27 samsung galaxy s27 gonna have the same cpu
• 3:52
  and uh one thing that is uh a con you can say
• 4:00
  when it comes to this device indoor when you
• 4:02
  compare it to other competing devices because
• 4:05
  this has a very high price tag is going to be
• 4:08
  the memory so apparently there's only one memory
• 4:13
  option for this device and that's a 12 gig of
• 4:17
  ram 512 gigs of storage at least they're giving
• 4:20
  you 512. However, on the OG Motorola signature,
• 4:24
  when you got the 512 gig storage variant, they
• 4:27
  also paired it with 16 gigabytes of RAM. This
• 4:30
  year, they're downgrading to 12 gigabytes of
• 4:34
  RAM. And speaking of that RAM, it is only LPDDR5X
• 4:40
  RAM. The S27 Ultra is going to have LPDDR6 RAM.
• 4:46
  Now let's go to the UFS storage. On the Signature
• 4:49
  27, it has UFS storage 4 .1. On the S27 Ultra,
• 4:55
  it's going to have a UFS storage 5 .0. So you
• 5:01
  see there some differences. Now the Signature
• 5:05
  will surely beat... the s27 ultra and camera
• 5:10
  performance however samsung is said to improve
• 5:14
  all new sensors now i'm not this video is not
• 5:16
  going to be a s27 versus signature 27 i'm just
• 5:20
  telling you i'm laying out the groundwork for
• 5:23
  where i'm going here shortly bear with me uh
• 5:26
  also the samsung galaxy s27 ultra you're going
• 5:30
  to get multiple storage variants and you're also
• 5:32
  going to get a 16 gigabyte of ram option on that
• 5:35
  s27 ultra you're getting a base s27 ultra with
• 5:38
  12 gigs of of ram 256 gigs of storage you're
• 5:42
  getting another storage variant with 12 gigs
• 5:43
  of ram 512 gigs of storage and then you're going
• 5:47
  to top out at the storage variant for the s27
• 5:51
  ultra 16 gigs of ram one terabyte of storage
• 5:54
  so samsung offering multiple different storage
• 5:59
  variants in giving you literally uh top not let's
• 6:06
  say top -notch specs obvious well gonna be all
• 6:08
  new look i'm sure there's going to be one and
• 6:11
  we'll have to wait that's why you need to subscribe
• 6:13
  to the channel because we review all of this
• 6:15
  um we'll deal with the s27 ultra when that time
• 6:19
  comes but let's focus back on this signature
• 6:21
  because as i'm looking at the specs here um it
• 6:26
  will have a nano sim plus nano sim so now it
• 6:33
  does not list an e -sim on gsm arena So we don't
• 6:39
  know for sure. Look, they could put eSIM in the
• 6:43
  US model. I just don't know. However, on the
• 6:48
  original Motorola signature, the one that's technically
• 6:51
  available right now, the original, there's no
• 6:53
  eSIM on that either. It's just dual SIM. It's
• 6:58
  possible they continue that. I don't know. I
• 7:01
  haven't heard anything in regards to eSIM with
• 7:03
  this new signature. The 5G bands it's going to
• 7:06
  support, it looks like it's pretty open as far
• 7:10
  as the frequencies and 5G bands that it supports.
• 7:12
  Also, standalone, non -standalone, and sub -6.
• 7:16
  Don't know if it supports a millimeter wave.
• 7:19
  Right now, it doesn't look like it does. But
• 7:22
  again, GSM Arena is typically where I go for
• 7:25
  my specs, and they do update their webpage. As
• 7:28
  soon as something is confirmed or something comes
• 7:35
  about as far as information, they do update their
• 7:38
  website. So millimeter wave support, I don't
• 7:42
  know. eSIM support doesn't look like it. We'll
• 7:44
  have to wait and see. It is military standard
• 7:47
  drop protection certified. Look, it's going to
• 7:53
  be 227 grams, fairly light. uh it's gonna be
• 7:58
  eight millimeters thick so look is this a good
• 8:02
  device it's gonna have a seven thousand silly
• 8:04
  uh silicon carbon uh battery seven thousand million
• 8:07
  per hour silicon carbon battery 90 watt fast
• 8:09
  charging 50 watt wireless uh charging five watt
• 8:13
  wireless reverse charging in wired reverse charging
• 8:18
  so it is what it is on the specs now let's get
• 8:21
  to the good stuff the price gotta take a deep
• 8:28
  breath for this one because I've been sitting
• 8:31
  on this all day. And look, I don't want to come
• 8:41
  across on this YouTube channel as somebody that
• 8:48
  always bitches and always complains about said
• 8:52
  product. Because that's not how I am in my personal
• 8:55
  life. I'm very optimistic and very easygoing
• 8:58
  in my personal life. I'm not a pessimistic person.
• 9:02
  I'm always the glasses. half full type of person
• 9:07
  however it seems like lately on my youtube channel
• 9:13
  i'm always blasting this company or blasting
• 9:15
  that company and before i sat down here today
• 9:18
  right now i was like damn i don't want to come
• 9:22
  across as somebody that always talks about these
• 9:26
  products or talk about these companies or downplay
• 9:30
  this product or downplay that product but then
• 9:33
  i was thinking you know what we we really haven't
• 9:37
  had a whole lot to be happy about or to congratulate
• 9:41
  or to promote in the tech world specifically
• 9:45
  specifically when it comes to mobile devices
• 9:48
  phones now when i saw this i was like okay it's
• 9:54
  cool you know i could certainly see myself using
• 9:57
  it And the one last question we had leading up
• 10:01
  to this morning was the price. So there was a
• 10:03
  leak on that European retailer. It was actually,
• 10:06
  what was it? It came out to be pretty freaking
• 10:10
  expensive when you convert it to US dollars.
• 10:13
  And guess what? It's pretty freaking expensive.
• 10:17
  So this is going to be. $1 ,599. So you're looking
• 10:25
  at essentially $1 ,600. But if you live in the
• 10:29
  US or no matter where you live in any country,
• 10:32
  how can you forget about taxes? Ah, yes, taxes.
• 10:36
  So if you purchase this phone, which we're going
• 10:40
  to get to in a minute as well, you're looking
• 10:43
  at $1 ,732 with tax. $1 ,732 with tax. Now you
• 10:52
  tell me, is this device worth $1 ,732? I don't
• 11:07
  hear anybody speaking up. I take that as a no.
• 11:11
  So where do we start? So this is insane. And
• 11:19
  I don't want to beat a dead horse, but this is
• 11:22
  exactly why I would not have chosen the Extreme
• 11:26
  CPU. So again, I did a report. last week where
• 11:32
  the cpu the ram in the memory alone cost right
• 11:39
  around 600 bucks and that's just for those three
• 11:41
  parts and let's say you add in other components
• 11:46
  your display the battery the vibration motor
• 11:50
  the speakers it looks like they're probably going
• 11:53
  to spend about $800 manufacturing this phone.
• 11:57
  So Motorola has to make a profit, right? Well,
• 12:00
  I always remembered Carl Pei on one of his videos
• 12:02
  on the Nothing YouTube channel. He said, typically,
• 12:06
  typically, and obviously it varies, but typically
• 12:09
  a phone company will double, they'll ask double
• 12:16
  for what it costs them to make it. So if Motorola
• 12:19
  spent $800 constructing this phone, makes sense
• 12:22
  right because when i saw this price and i was
• 12:24
  going through my head how much it cost motorola
• 12:27
  to build this phone putting the prices together
• 12:29
  and 600 for the cpu and ram and memory and then
• 12:34
  you got the display all the other parts so it's
• 12:36
  another 200 bucks so you're looking at essentially
• 12:38
  800 to build this phone now that also includes
• 12:42
  the cost of carl pay was saying that also includes
• 12:45
  the cost of marketing of actually manufacturing
• 12:49
  right because there is you got to pay people
• 12:52
  for quality control when it comes off the line
• 12:54
  you got to pay for marketing all of that goes
• 12:57
  in these companies typically ask double whatever
• 13:00
  they they pay to manufacture each device so because
• 13:04
  motorola 800 to build this they're gonna ask
• 13:07
  sixteen hundred dollars for it that's a profit
• 13:09
  of eight hundred dollars right well i think the
• 13:13
  asking price and that's the asking price manufacturer
• 13:16
  suggested retail price of 1600 1732 after taxes
• 13:21
  is to like flossy carter say to get damn high
• 13:25
  because this is an insane price for this phone
• 13:31
  now when you sorry but when you go and compare
• 13:34
  it to the upcoming s27 ultra we have a relatively
• 13:38
  good idea of what that's going to cost Now, the
• 13:41
  base model for the S27 Ultra for the 12 gig 256
• 13:45
  is going to be $1 ,399, so $1 ,400. And they're
• 13:52
  going to add about $100 to $150 for the 12 gig
• 13:56
  of RAM 512 model. So if you're looking at $1
• 13:59
  ,400 and then you add another $100, $1 ,500,
• 14:02
  that still comes underneath, still cheaper than
• 14:06
  what this Motorola is. We don't know if this
• 14:11
  Motorola Signature 27 will have stylus support.
• 14:16
  I think it will because the OG Signature supports
• 14:19
  their Moto stylus. I think this new one will.
• 14:22
  But they say S27 Ultra, duh, has a S -Pen. And
• 14:27
  I think where the S27 Ultra has an edge on the
• 14:31
  Signature 27 is the operating system. So I honestly
• 14:36
  don't know how Motorola can ask $1 ,732 for this
• 14:42
  device. I don't know how they're going to sell
• 14:47
  any of these. Now, when we go to sales, if you're
• 14:52
  in Motorola's shoes, in the United States, we've
• 14:56
  discussed this before. One thing when I woke
• 14:59
  up this morning, I was like, okay, I see that.
• 15:01
  Okay, the price. What's one way to kind of get
• 15:04
  around that price? Because we all know the typical
• 15:07
  person doesn't pay $1 ,732 for this phone. Now,
• 15:12
  obviously, you can purchase it from a debit card,
• 15:15
  takes it all out of your account, or you can
• 15:16
  purchase on a credit card and pay a monthly.
• 15:19
  But in America, majority of users purchase their
• 15:23
  device through the carriers. And this is not
• 15:28
  going to be available at the carriers. Not going
• 15:33
  to be at Verizon, not going to be at T -Mobile,
• 15:36
  not going to be at AT &T. The only retailers
• 15:39
  you can purchase this Motorola Signature 27 is
• 15:42
  from Motorola itself or Amazon and or Best Buy.
• 15:45
  So if you have a Best Buy account, possibly I
• 15:49
  think they have financing options on Amazon.
• 15:51
  I have no clue because I've never used them before.
• 15:55
  That's the only way I see them selling this thing.
• 15:58
  Now, let's think realistically. Let's be honest
• 16:02
  here. How many do you think they're going to
• 16:07
  sell? I want you to comment down below. I think
• 16:11
  Motorola... Are they... So, if I had to make
• 16:22
  an educated guess, 10 ,000, 20 ,000, 30 ,000
• 16:30
  units? I mean, somebody. A few people are going
• 16:34
  to buy this. But the average person? No. And
• 16:39
  especially... When you have, when your competition
• 16:43
  is easily accessible, more readily available,
• 16:48
  you can go pick them up in the stores. You can
• 16:51
  get it for free through these carriers. Your
• 16:54
  competition is cheaper. And in my opinion, the
• 16:57
  software experience is better on your competition.
• 17:01
  And, and how could I forget? Security is a top
• 17:08
  priority. on your competition. Samsung issues
• 17:13
  monthly updates. Motorola, every other month.
• 17:19
  So I just don't see the winning formula here
• 17:23
  for Motorola. I just don't see it. Is it a cool?
• 17:26
  Look, if you remove the price, if you remove
• 17:29
  and you're just looking at the phone in a vacuum,
• 17:32
  meaning with all the other stuff I'm talking
• 17:34
  about, if you remove that and I just hand you
• 17:37
  the phone, here you go. Enjoy. I think you're
• 17:40
  going to like it. And I think I would too. I'm
• 17:42
  like, oh, this is pretty cool. You know what
• 17:44
  I'm saying? And then I take it away from you
• 17:47
  and I'm like, thank you. See you later. You can
• 17:49
  go buy your own. Well, if you like that phone,
• 17:53
  right? Let's say you go into Best Buy and you
• 17:54
  like it or you're interested in it. You start
• 17:57
  looking at the price and then you're like, well,
• 17:59
  shit, I can't get this for free through a carrier
• 18:01
  or, you know, the software isn't as refined.
• 18:05
  My Samsung has a whole lot more functionality
• 18:08
  and features. Once you start adding in all these
• 18:12
  extras, it just doesn't make sense. It just does
• 18:16
  not make sense. I would rather spend $1 ,732
• 18:23
  on an Oppo Find X9 Ultra. Sorry. Or something
• 18:30
  with a more robust operating system. Something
• 18:34
  that does get monthly updates. I just don't see
• 18:38
  this as a winning formula. It's just me. I don't
• 18:44
  know. But my wife was saying, credit to her,
• 18:50
  we were talking about this earlier before I recorded
• 18:52
  because I was like, have you seen this freaking
• 18:54
  signature? And she was like, no. And I was telling
• 18:56
  her all about it. I was telling her all the specs
• 18:58
  and everything. And I was like, but that's not
• 19:00
  the best part. She was like, what's the best
• 19:02
  part? I said, the price. She was like, what's
• 19:03
  the price? I said, $1 ,732. She laughed. She
• 19:08
  literally laughed. She was like, no, it can't
• 19:10
  be them. yeah it's it's that high like how do
• 19:13
  they expect to sell any i have no clue i don't
• 19:18
  even think they know they're just throwing something
• 19:20
  out there but again she made a great great point
• 19:25
  reason why i was bringing her up is she said
• 19:27
  well maybe they don't expect to sell many maybe
• 19:32
  that's not there maybe they're not throwing this
• 19:35
  out there to try and sell as many phones as possible
• 19:39
  Now, we all know that they sell a bunch of budget
• 19:42
  phones. They make a large majority of their money
• 19:45
  from these mid -range phones. And to be honest,
• 19:48
  they sell a fantastic phone at 500 bucks. And
• 19:52
  that's their bread and butter. That's their sweet
• 19:54
  spot is that mid -range phone from three, yeah,
• 19:58
  from three to four to 500 bucks. They make a
• 20:00
  good phone for three to four to 500 bucks. You
• 20:03
  get value. You get a lot for that three to four
• 20:05
  to 500 bucks. Ultra premium segment. No, this
• 20:10
  is not it. So like she was saying, maybe they
• 20:15
  just don't expect to sell many. Look, I don't
• 20:17
  know. That's probably true. I don't know how
• 20:19
  many they've manufactured. It would be foolish
• 20:22
  of Motorola to manufacture like 20 million of
• 20:25
  these things. You know what I'm saying? And they
• 20:28
  only sell 300 ,000 of them at most. So maybe
• 20:33
  they only manufactured half a million up front.
• 20:38
  I don't know because look, I haven't checked
• 20:40
  other prices from other parts of the world because
• 20:42
  this is a global phone. I've seen a few and they're
• 20:45
  all high. They're all right under the $2 ,000
• 20:48
  price point, whether it's dollars, euros, what
• 20:53
  have you. It's all very, very high. And they
• 20:56
  don't provide a premium experience for that to
• 21:02
  upwards of $2 ,000 price point. Sorry, they just
• 21:06
  don't. um the software experience if you haven't
• 21:10
  used a motorola in a while and i love the og
• 21:12
  signature and that's why i'm like so kind of
• 21:14
  punched in the gut here with this one because
• 21:17
  it was such a close to a perfect phone it was
• 21:21
  very close it was very close and i thought they
• 21:25
  were when i've heard they were bringing this
• 21:27
  new signature out i thought yes i thought they
• 21:31
  were on the right track And then as time goes
• 21:34
  on, as we get closer to today and today and today,
• 21:37
  each piece of information comes out, new news.
• 21:41
  It got worse and worse and worse with each piece
• 21:44
  of news that went on, meaning they had a good
• 21:47
  winning formula with the original Motorola signature,
• 21:51
  and then they just veered off course, way off
• 21:54
  course with this one. And I think Motorola, I
• 21:59
  don't think... So here's the issue I have with
• 22:02
  a lot of these companies, and I'm not just singling
• 22:04
  out Motorola here, although I kind of am. I honestly
• 22:08
  believe they need to do and or better market
• 22:11
  research, like product, like the people buying
• 22:16
  these phones, because the need is here. The want
• 22:18
  is here in the U .S. market, right? Because OnePlus
• 22:20
  has gone. Well, I thought, well, Motorola could
• 22:24
  just fill that void, that OnePlus left here in
• 22:27
  the U .S. And boom, there you go. Easy peasy,
• 22:31
  right? And then they go and screw this up. Well,
• 22:35
  what did OnePlus do? They brought you flagship
• 22:38
  specs for hundreds of dollars less than the competition.
• 22:44
  Motorola is doing the opposite here. They're
• 22:47
  bringing you flagship specs, but hundreds of
• 22:50
  dollars more than the competition. So it's like,
• 22:55
  well, the formula, the ingredients, To make a
• 23:01
  good product and a successful product, keyword
• 23:05
  successful, was there. OnePlus laid it out. OnePlus
• 23:08
  just didn't have the cachet, just couldn't catch
• 23:11
  on. It wasn't a household name. Motorola has
• 23:15
  a household name. My dad, my grandpa, everybody
• 23:18
  knows Motorola. So they almost have it made for
• 23:22
  them. And then they go and screw it up with this
• 23:25
  product, with this launch. it's almost too good
• 23:33
  to be true right and i knew it i knew something
• 23:35
  was too good to be true i knew it's it's it's
• 23:38
  it never fails me there's always something with
• 23:41
  a product and i'm talking about in the mobile
• 23:43
  phone world these companies are so disconnected
• 23:47
  from what the consumer wants and or needs and
• 23:52
  it's just a bummer like i was i wanted to get
• 23:56
  so excited for this and I can't, I can't be excited
• 24:02
  for this. I don't expect them to sell many of
• 24:05
  these. I don't think Motorola expects them to
• 24:08
  sell many of these. And if they are, and I know
• 24:10
  they'll tell you, or we, trust me, I've been
• 24:13
  on social media. They're promoting this thing.
• 24:16
  I'm sure they want it to sell, right? But I wondered.
• 24:20
  Then they'll tell you, oh yeah, we expect it
• 24:21
  to sell great. We put forward a fantastic product
• 24:24
  for the consumer, right? The America market,
• 24:29
  the USA market, they want a Motorola flagship
• 24:32
  experience. Yeah, we do, but not at damn near
• 24:36
  $2 ,000. Huh? I wonder deep down inside if you
• 24:42
  talk to them off record. Like if you're having
• 24:44
  a few beers at the bar, like I wonder if they
• 24:48
  get a few drinks in them. if they would be like
• 24:50
  you know i'd be like nudging be like come on
• 24:52
  you honestly believe you're gonna sell a lot
• 24:55
  of these tell me the truth like come on just
• 24:59
  me and you off the record you honestly believe
• 25:02
  what you're gonna sell this is gonna be a hit
• 25:04
  i wonder what they would say because i'm starting
• 25:10
  to question the decision makers Well, I already
• 25:13
  have. Look at me saying I'm starting to. I have
• 25:15
  been questioning the decision makers for these
• 25:18
  phone companies for years because they do shit
• 25:20
  like this and just stuff that doesn't make sense.
• 25:24
  I don't see how they cannot get these in the
• 25:27
  carriers. Motorola has phones in all of these
• 25:31
  carriers, even the MVNOs. have Motorola phones.
• 25:35
  So it's not like it would, you know, it's not
• 25:38
  like OnePlus that would have to get down on their
• 25:40
  hands and knees and beg T -Mobile, please put
• 25:43
  us in your stores, please. No, Motorola is already
• 25:47
  in the store. So why is this not in the carrier?
• 25:51
  I don't get it. I don't know. Maybe, maybe their
• 25:57
  relationship is, look, there's a lot of things,
• 26:01
  questions that I'm bringing up. that it's hard
• 26:03
  for me to answer because there's a lot of i only
• 26:06
  know what what you know what we know i the best
• 26:09
  i can do is just guess what it looks like from
• 26:11
  the outside looking in and it looks like another
• 26:15
  complete disaster because i don't know how on
• 26:17
  earth they did not get this in the carrier uh
• 26:20
  somebody motorola you know i'm gonna ask you
• 26:23
  in this video so i'm sure and i'm gonna forward
• 26:25
  this to a few social media motorola social media
• 26:28
  accounts so i know somebody employed by motorola
• 26:30
  is going to watch this Somebody needs to be fired
• 26:34
  at Motorola, at Lenovo. Whoever is in charge
• 26:39
  of those carrier relationships, you need to reconsider
• 26:44
  and hire somebody else because this should be
• 26:49
  illegal. This is not in the carriers because
• 26:52
  I just don't see you selling any of these. I
• 26:55
  just don't. sure you'll have trade -in offers
• 27:00
  on your website i'm sure you will but after you
• 27:03
  give us a trade -in offer we're still going to
• 27:06
  be shelling out a thousand bucks on top of our
• 27:09
  trade -in why would i do that when i can trade
• 27:12
  in my s26 ultra in a couple months to samsung
• 27:15
  uh and pay you know five six hundred bucks on
• 27:21
  top of my trade -in why am i spending a thousand
• 27:23
  dollars on top of my trade -in it just when you
• 27:26
  add it up it just doesn't makes sense and the
• 27:28
  specs are better on your competition i've already
• 27:31
  gone through this i don't want to repeat myself
• 27:34
  but uh another bummer another bummer let me know
• 27:41
  what you think i think i have a good idea of
• 27:47
  what the average person is is is thinking now
• 27:52
  before we get out of here i another thought comes
• 27:56
  to my head and i beg your part thank you for
• 27:59
  hanging in there with me and letting me vent
• 28:01
  a little bit maybe all over the place but i'm
• 28:03
  just spitting out thoughts that are in my head
• 28:05
  no script yeah no i don't do scripts here um
• 28:10
  xiaomi oppo these chinese manufacturers stated
• 28:15
  earlier in the year there's going to be a point
• 28:18
  where they are just going to stop making ultra
• 28:20
  premium flagship android smartphones meaning
• 28:23
  they're just going to pause because of this reason
• 28:26
  The cost of making a ultra premium flagship phone
• 28:30
  is going to cost way too much. And it's going
• 28:34
  to get to a price point where consumers are just
• 28:37
  going to back off and say, yeah, at some point,
• 28:40
  I'm sure you've done market research, at least
• 28:43
  I hope you have, where at some point it just
• 28:46
  gets so high to where consumers just back off.
• 28:49
  Because this is essentially the same price as
• 28:52
  a folding phone, except this is a candy bar style
• 28:55
  phone. and again i'm not going over the specs
• 28:58
  again but only 12 gigs of ram 512 gives you storage
• 29:01
  really ufs 4 .1 lpddr 5x ram really doesn't make
• 29:09
  sense to me so i would recommend to motorola
• 29:13
  to pause on your ultra premium phones because
• 29:16
  this price nobody's buying it at this price and
• 29:20
  the fact that you can't get it at a carrier nobody's
• 29:22
  buying it here in the us and again i say nobody
• 29:24
  but Realistically, 10, 20, 30 ,000 phones, that's
• 29:31
  essentially nothing. No pun intended. I mean,
• 29:35
  no units sold. So I would tell Motorola, nice
• 29:40
  try. Try again this time next year. And let me
• 29:45
  recommend something to you, Motorola, before
• 29:47
  we get out of here. You had a successful Motorola
• 29:50
  Signature OG. Continue on with that. with what
• 29:56
  made that successful do that on your upcoming
• 29:59
  motorola signature 28 smartphone because this
• 30:03
  is not it whether you have to fall back on a
• 30:07
  dimensity chip i know you have a relationship
• 30:09
  with mediatek or you gotta fall back on the snapdragon
• 30:13
  8 elite gen 6 not the extreme maybe you got maybe
• 30:18
  you need to fall back down to that watered -down
• 30:21
  flagship cpu like you did on the og signature
• 30:25
  That was, that's perfectly fine. Now, before,
• 30:29
  I must mention, the reason why they went with
• 30:31
  that extreme CPU is to probably get that number
• 30:35
  two spot on the DxOMark list because the extreme
• 30:40
  CPU from Qualcomm does have a better ISP, image
• 30:46
  signal processor, which helps out with cameras.
• 30:49
  So it's probably why they went with the extreme,
• 30:51
  but... But why go with an extreme CPU and it
• 30:56
  jacks the price up so much to where nobody's
• 30:58
  going to buy it? Trust me, just the OG Signature
• 31:02
  with the watered down flagship, excuse me, yeah,
• 31:06
  with the watered down flagship CPU still had
• 31:08
  fantastic cameras. In fact, if you go look on
• 31:10
  the DxOMark list, the OG Motorola Signature is
• 31:13
  at number 10 or 11. So it's been out for 10 months.
• 31:17
  So it has the watered down CPU, flagship CPU.
• 31:23
  you're going to have to make some compromises
• 31:25
  if you want to try to bring your price in a little
• 31:28
  bit because where it's at right now is too freaking
• 31:31
  high. So it is what it is. Let me know what you
• 31:35
  think down below. I'm sorry. I'm just trying
• 31:37
  to bring all my thoughts in together for everyone.
• 31:40
  So let me know what you think. I'll catch you
• 31:42
  on the next one. Peace.
