motorola does You have another real new phone: the Signature. This is a new series of “premium” phones, but the problem is that these devices will not be sold in the US. As for its candy-bar phones, Motorola has ventured into flagship territory from time to time, but then pulled back as it struggled to compete with companies like Apple and Samsung; It is primarily known for its Moto G budget phones, especially in the US.
The Signature is just 6.99 millimeters thick – it’s no iPhone Air, but it’s thinner than your typical handset – and it has a fabric-like material on the back. It is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, has four 50-megapixel cameras on the back, and a 5,200-mAh silicon-carbon battery. More importantly, Motorola is finally committing to seven years of comprehensive software updates for this phone. It’s a shame US customers won’t be able to enjoy it.

On the artificial intelligence front, Motorola and its parent company, Lenovo, are working together on an integrated AI assistant called Cura. It is the culmination of several AI features that both companies have deployed on the same platform over the past few years.
It is powered by a variety of large language models, ranging from Copilot and Perplexity to Google’s Gemini, as well as Motorola and Lenovo’s own in-house LLMs. The idea is that instead of accessing these different services, you can just ask Cura, whether you’re on a Lenovo laptop or a Motorola phone. It will launch first on Lenovo PCs later this year, then on Razer, Edge and Signature devices.
Qira also powers Project Maxwell, a concept AI pendant from Motorola’s 312 Labs. If you’re tired of taking out your smartphone to take a picture and searching for something, this wearable device solves exactly that problem. It has a camera and microphone, so just tap the touch-sensitive button on the front and ask a question about what you’re seeing – whether you want to know what kind of tree is in front of you, or if you’re looking at a poster you want to add a concert date to your calendar.
