Like months of speculation and a almost endless flow of leaks, Motorola and Verizon these days announced the most recent smartphone taking part in the Droid family unit, the Droid Turbo. The Turbo takes the place of the Droid Ultra from stay fresh day — the Droid Maxx and Droid Mini stay taking part in the lineup next to drop outlay points — and is a geniuinely unique device taking part in Motorola's portfolio. It desire be alive open opening on October 30th in support of $199.99 on contract in support of a 32GB sculpt before $249.99 on contract in support of a 64GB version.

The Turbo has the same size put on show since Motorola's flagship Moto X, which is plus presented by Verizon and other US carriers, but the 5.2-inch panel on the Turbo has a much top, quad HD perseverance (the Moto X makes figure out with a 1080p screen). The Turbo plus has a supplementary powerful Snapdragon 805 central processing unit, supplementary RAM (3GB now), a much superior 3,900mAh battery (good in support of 48 hours of employment flanked by charges, according to Verizon), and a higher-resolution 21-megapixel camera. Motorola is plus plus the Turbo pony with the Droid Turbo, which offers 8 hours of battery life on merely 15 minutes of charging. By all accounts, the Droid Turbo certainly lives up to its choose compared to the Moto X, next to slightest on the spec sheet.

THE TURBO LIVES UP TO ITS choose WITH BETTER SPECS THAN THE MOTO X

The Droid Turbo is launching with robot 4.4 KitKat and Motorola says with the purpose of it desire be alive upgraded to robot 5.0 Lollipop like with the purpose of is released. It has many of the same skin tone of the Moto X, plus voice control, Moto put on show, and launching the camera via a twist gesture of the wrist. The Droid Zap star with the purpose of lets you share things with other device owners plus makes a repetition on the Turbo.

Unfortunately, the Turbo's design isn't almost since finicky since the very desirable Moto X, with an thorny appearance and the tasteless Droid-signature Kevlar-like crosshatch pattern on its back. The Turbo plus has capacitive keys as an alternative of relying on on-screen navigation buttons, making it taller and supplementary thorny to see to than the Moto X. It desire be alive open taking part in sharp black, sharp red, before what did you say? Verizon calls a "ballistic" black, which has an even supplementary textured back.

Verizon has protracted used the Droid brand to differentiate itself from the other carriers, and Motorola has been its partner in support of a pair of years without hesitation. In support of the Turbo, Verizon is offering trade taking part in promotions since well since complimentary insurance in support of solitary screen crack.

We'll control supplementary impressions of the Droid Turbo along wth a plump go over taking part in the nearby coming.

Bring up to date, October 28th, 12:00PM ET: We've had a probability to in brief employment the Droid Turbo and feel a small piece underwhelmed by it. It's a very like experience to Motorola's own Moto X, but with no the nicer design and better supplies. The quad HD screen is finicky, though it didn't persuade clever a sufficient amount what time outdoors, and we didn't notice the Turbo to be alive a few sooner than the Moto X taking part in our inform tests. The ballistic nylon texture is absolutely unique, on condition that a small piece of grip and a altered feel than a plastic before metal phone might. We still have a preference the leather before timber options on the Moto X, but might see to it that somewhere the nylon would appeal to a convinced customer. Of track, the biggest story with the Turbo is its proclaimed battery life, which we'll be alive putting to the test taking part in our approaching go over.
