    Are we sure that’s it? I thought we weren’t getting a GOS-compatible phone until next year, but the 27 is apparently expected to launch in November.

      Fairly certain, haven’t seen full confirmation yet but the chipset supports it, along with GOS’ confirmation that it isn’t a foldable a while back. Unless Motorola has an entirely new SKU for GOS this seems like it.

          Ayy, thanks for the confirmation! I really want it but it’s likely going to be expensive, even if it does come to the US…

        Good to know. I’ll have to keep an eye out then. I gotta admit, I was hoping out hope for a headphone jack and expandable storage, but I knew that was unlikely.

          $1000 phones and they don’t even have a good way to keep a large music collection downloaded

            Unfortunate but true. Some of these sites are reporting the Signature 27 as having storage configurations as big as 1 TB - if that gets confirmed, I may just spring for that. I’ve recently realized just how much better FLAC sounds compared to streaming, but it takes up so much more space. It’s either that or I find myself an old discman and start carrying CDs with me everywhere. At least a CD player would have a headphone jack!

            It looks like Graphene has confirmed that the 27 is the one, though they haven’t put out their official announcement yet. I won’t be surprised if that comes out later today or tomorrow.
