DXOMARK also highlighted several key performance pros and cons for the Motorola Signature 27:
Pros:
- Target exposure is generally accurate in all light conditions
- The level of details is high when the subject is static
- The Autofocus is reliable and depth of field is wide
- White balance is generally natural and pleasant
- Stabilization is efficient on most movements
Cons:
- Noise can be quite visible in lowlight and dark areas, or for ultra-wide captures near the corners
- Deep skintone rendering can be inaccurate, as well as color rendering in lowlight
- Some frameshift can be visible in panning movements
- Veiling glare can be visible in backlit high-contrast scenes, lowering contrast and leading to a flatter overall rendering
