Motorola is preparing to launch the Signature 27, its next flagship phone, and says it will include audio tuned with Bang & Olufsen. Multiple outlets report that the partnership is global and multi-year, with Bang & Olufsen branding featured on the Signature 27 itself.

The reporting frames the move as part of a broader trend of smartphone makers partnering with well-known audio brands. One source links Motorola’s decision to previous co-branded audio efforts in the industry, suggesting Motorola is aiming to deliver higher-end sound capabilities as part of the handset’s identity.

While outlets focus on different angles—one highlighting “good news for audiophiles” and another emphasizing the competitive context—the core details are consistent: Motorola’s Signature 27 is the first device tied to the Bang & Olufsen collaboration, and it is expected to be announced shortly after Motorola’s teaser.
