CES 2026 is in full swing and one of the biggest launches to take place will come from Motorola, with the firm expected to announce its new Signature smartphone.
The longtime phone brand, now owned by Lenovo, is really stepping up in the mobile space to take on the likes of Samsung, Google and Xiaomi. Though it has similarities to the Edge range, this new Signature phone is a brand-new series and marks a line in the sand for Motorola.
It’s set to be a statement flagship, showing the firm’s intentions to make one of the best phones of the year.
Though it’s been leaked in some good detail already, we’re just hours from finding out the official details of the Motorola Signature as part of the Lenovo Tech World press conference at CES 2026.
This takes place at the iconic Sphere in Las Vegas at 5pm local time on 6 January. That’s 1am on 7 January for UK time and although the live stream is oddly hard to find on YouTube, we’ve embedded it here for your viewing convenience.

Lenovo said, “Inside the world’s most advanced storytelling venue, a bold vision for the future will unfold—brought to life through breathtaking visuals and immersive sound, powered by Lenovo’s breakthrough technology.”
It’s quite vague, but these things usually are. There are no obvious hints at what products will be launched on the Lenovo webpage for the event, but Motorola did post this teaser, which appears to be a signature cocktail.
Although Lenovo will likely announce a whole host of new products, probably including its latest laptop concept, and reportedly some FIFA World Cup editions, the Motorola devices are what excite us the most.
The Signature could well be joined by the Razr Fold, a rival to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold. Despite Motorola’s longstanding experience with foldable phones, this will be its first in the book-style category.
It could undercut key rivals with a price of $1,500. Meanwhile, Samsung has been showing off the recently announced Galaxy Z TriFold at CES 2026, with no less than two hinges and a $2,500 price tag.

Motorola may not stop there, as Evan Blass (@evleaks), who leaked the Signature and Razr Fold, has also mentioned the existence of a new Moto Watch, Moto Pen Ultra stylus, Moto SoundFlow speaker and Moto Tag 2 tracker.
It wouldn’t be complete without some AI thrown in, so there could also be something called Project Maxwell, an “AI-native wearable companion that’s always accessible and context-aware.”
The device will have a camera and microphone, but it looks to be a concept device with no current plans to produce it commercially.
