Motorola Signature 27 may ship with a 5,500mAh battery in some markets

An EU database lists two Motorola Signature 27 versions, one with a 7,000mAh battery and one with 5,500mAh. Motorola's own product page briefly mentioned the smaller cell too.

The Motorola Signature 27 is sold as the company's most impressive flagship yet, with a big 7,000mAh battery. But a regulatory filing suggests not every buyer will get that battery.

The EU's EPREL database, where manufacturers register energy details for devices sold in Europe, lists two models: XT2701-1 and XT2701-5. The first has a rated capacity of 6,790mAh, which corresponds to a typical capacity of 7,000mAh. The second is rated at 5,350mAh, which ostensibly means a typical 5,500mAh.

The gap shows up in endurance too. According to the database, the larger battery lasts 77 hours and 45 minutes per cycle, the smaller one 61 hours and 29 minutes.

Which markets get the smaller Signature 27 battery?

That is not clear yet. Motorola's product page reportedly mentioned a smaller battery for markets such as Germany and the UK, but it has since been changed to mention only the 7,000mAh figure. Google, however, still shows a 5,500mAh battery. Motorola has been asked for clarification and has not yet answered.

Europe often gets battery cuts because of regulation. Even so, the phone was listed with a 7,000mAh battery in Austria, France, Germany and the UK when this was reported. If you are outside the US, check the battery spec on the exact model before you buy.

How long will the battery last?

The EU database rates the Signature 27 for 1,000 charging cycles before it drops to 80% capacity, whichever version you get. That matches Apple and Google Pixel phones, but trails devices from Samsung, Xiaomi and OPPO.

The rest of the phone is strong on paper: a Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 processor, a very bright OLED screen and capable cameras. The battery is the one spec worth double-checking.
