motorola signature earns DXOMARK Gold Label as the best camera on an ultrathin phone
January 6, 2026
Motorola is proud to announce that motorola signature has received a Gold Label Camera recognition from DXOMARK, a distinction reserved for devices delivering a best‑in‑class¹ camera experience. With a score of 164, according to DXO, the first product in the new motorola signature series has the best camera on an ultra-thin² phone among the phones tested, redefining what’s possible in mobile photography and qualifying it among the best‑in‑class devices for camera quality worldwide. The award reflects the device’s powerhouse imaging system — combining four 50MP³ sensors, AI-enhanced software, Dolby Vision®, and Pantone Validated color accuracy — delivering an exceptional photography experience.
DXOMARK is an independent world‑renowned technology quality evaluation laboratory that assesses the performance of consumer electronics and professional products through rigorous scientific testing and perceptual analysis. Based on two main subscores: Photo & Video, motorola signature’s DXOMARK’s gold level recognition is a testament to our commitment to imaging excellence. It represents the most complete and sophisticated phone Motorola has ever created, combining skillfully crafted finishes, curated colorways, up seven years of software updates⁴, exclusive access to premium services, and our most groundbreaking features yet.
According to the DXOMARK’s evaluation, motorola signature delivers strong photo and video performance, even in very low-light conditions, with accurate exposure, pleasing colors, high detail, and smooth footage. Portrait shots benefit from precise depth estimation and natural color rendering, while the ultrawide module’s wide field of view and the telephoto module’s solid detail preservation offer excellent results across focal lengths.

“When designing the camera system for the motorola signature, we focused on how people actually use their phones to capture their everyday moments,” said Leonard Gao, Motorola Executive Director of Software and Camera. “Our goal was to bring to this device an effortless experience, one that performs whether you’re recording a cinematic video, zooming in on distant details, or snapping a quick selfie to share instantly. After years of pushing smartphone photography forward, motorola signature brings our most advanced system yet, in terms of hardware and software, carrying our innovative DNA.”
That’s why the motorola signature has four massive 50MP³ sensors, including the newest Sony LYTIA™ 828, our main and largest 50MP sensor yet to deliver images and videos with exceptional performance in highlights, saturation, and dark noise. So, from the backlit skies to the rich textures in low-light scenes, every single aspect is restored with remarkable accuracy. And thanks to Pantone validation of colors, users will get true-to-life colors and beautifully natural skin tones in every shot.

The motorola signature also introduces Motorola’s most advanced video system ever, featuring our largest 50MP sensor yet. It’s powered by a Sony LYTIA™ 828 main sensor with state-of-the-art Hybrid Frame-HDR technology for an exceptional 100dB dynamic range, which is the highest of all Sony sensors, and up to 6x more Dynamic range compared to Sony’s past generation sensor. Its Ultra-High Conversion Gain technology dramatically reduces noise for cleaner, more natural low-light videos. And a groundbreaking 3.5° OIS, the highest optical stabilization system in the category⁵, works with our Adaptive Stabilization feature to analyze motion and deliver ultra-smooth footage, so even if users are trying to record a landscape from a very shaky boat, they will be able to see the horizon steady. The device also supports 8K Dolby Vision® recording for richer colors, deeper contrast, and stunning clarity, paired with upgraded audio that captures crisp, natural sound even in loud environments.

Plus, a 50MP¹ ultrawide lens is included to capture sweeping landscapes and intricate macro shots, while the 50MP selfie camera was engineered to produce content that’s bold, clear, and ready to post.
Behind the scenes, moto ai works across every lens to refine color, reduce noise, and enhance detail. The Photo Enhancement Engine algorithm is the intelligence that makes the camera system of motorola signature so powerful. When users take a photo, it makes billions of image processes in microseconds using the combination of AI fusion and the processing power of the Snapdragon® 8 Gen 5 mobile platform. It constantly works behind the scenes to elevate every aspect of your photos. With enhanced dynamic range, precise color, balanced saturation, shadows, and contrast, it delivers our best image quality yet, from sweeping landscapes to sharp, vibrant portraits, all effortlessly. But that’s not all, it also uses advanced facial detection and uses even more processing power to preserve the softness of expression and emotions, and the natural aspect and texture of the skin. It’s not about overwhelming users with specs, but about ensuring that every shot, from 8K video to a casual portrait, feels expressive and authentic.
Motorola is also elevating the social media experience by ensuring every detail is optimized for sharing. Through third-party platform optimization, users can now post their vibrant, beautifully detailed photos with the same Ultra HDR image quality they see on their devices. Whether capturing content directly in the Instagram app or uploading from the gallery, Ultra HDR quality is preserved—delivering consistent colors, exceptional clarity
“In creating Motorola’s most advanced camera system yet, we drew on deep human insights gathered by our global research teams and the technical leadership of our R&D hubs in the United States, Brazil, China and India and partnered with DXOMARK engineers experts.”, says Leonard Gao. “The result is a holistic imaging experience that blends intuitive functionality with cutting-edge hardware, intelligent AI optimization, and Pantone Validated color accuracy, ensuring every shot reflects the world exactly as users see it.”
R&D Motorola Imaging Lab
The new motorola signature is a bold step forward in smartphone photography and a clear reflection of Motorola’s commitment to innovation and excellence.
