A second Motorola Signature 27 variant with a smaller battery has appeared in the European Union’s EPREL database. The listing, first spotted by Android Authority, shows model XT2701-5 with a rated capacity of 5,350mAh (about 5,500mAh typical).
The listing mentions a 5,500mAh battery, which is significantly lower than the original XT2701-1's 7,000mAh capacity.
The listings also highlight the endurance values for both variants. While the US variant lasts for 77 hours and 45 minutes, the other variants drop to a measly 61 hours and 29 minutes, a difference of a whopping 16 hours.
It remains unclear exactly which global markets will be burdened with the 5,500mAh version. Motorola’s German website first listed a 5,500mAh battery, but the company has now updated the page to show 7,000mAh. Motorola has not said where the XT2701-5 variant will be sold.
And while the reason for this is unknown, we have historically seen regulators force battery downgrades in Europe.
Interestingly, the Signature 27 is currently listed with its full 7,000mAh cell in major European markets like the UK, Germany, France and Austria. In terms of longevity, the EU database rates both battery variants as maintaining 80% of their original capacity after 1,000 charge cycles.
For those unaware, Motorola launched the Signature 27 on 5 November. It's expected to go on sale in Europe from 16 November, while US pre-orders open on 19 November and sales start on 26 November.
It comes with a 6.8-inch 120 Hz tandem OLED display with 12,000 nits of peak brightness. It is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 and gets a 200 MP periscope telephoto camera.
While its potential launch date in other markets is currently unknown, we should hear more about it as days progress, so stay tuned.
