Chris Barraclough had somewhere warmer in mind. "Won't lie, I was kind of hoping for a bit of Barbados, but heigh-ho," the Tech Spurt host says from Tromsø, where Motorola has brought journalists for its Signature 27 launch.

Instead, Norway's Arctic scenery supplies the camera test. Barraclough says he recorded the entire Short on the handset, taking it from outdoor photography to a wander through the town centre and a beer at the pub. Motorola provided the launch trip, as he makes clear in the video and its description.

The outing has drawn about 42,000 views in 14 hours, an unusually fast start for a Tech Spurt Short. The comments have already passed the channel's usual full-day response many times over. Viewers discuss the photo samples, ask for the full review and find room for jokes about Britain's less-than-reliable sunshine.

This is a more practical look at the phone after the earlier preview's camera-bump discussion. Alongside its main camera, Barraclough highlights a periscope telephoto lens with optical zoom. But his most tangible finding comes at dinner: he says the battery still had almost 80% remaining after heavy photo and video use.

It's a launch-trip first look rather than the promised full review. For the extra Norwegian wandering, Barraclough says he also hopes to put a longer vlog on his Spurt Hole channel.
