WIRED describes the Signature 27 as featuring an Extreme AMOLED Duo panel that is the brightest smartphone display on the market, peaking at 12,000 nits, with better cooling thanks to a 40 percent larger thermal chamber, and that Motorola is partnering with Bang & Olufsen for the speaker system offering deep bass and clear vocals.

WIRED notes Google is lending its Rambler feature to Motorola, which until now was exclusive to the Pixel 11.
