Droid Turbo - A Powerhouse smartphone by Motorola

Motorola was already ruling the smartphones market with the best line up from affordable Moto G to customizable Moto X and not to forget the giant Nexus 6 plus a sexy smartwatch, Moto 360. To add to this line up, Motorola launched the latest Droid phone, Droid Turbo with Verizon for $199.99 on contract for a 32GB model or $249.99 on contract for a 64GB version.

The DROID Turbo runs Android 4.4.4 KitKat instead of the brand new Android 5.0 Lollipop operating system, but you’ll find a Snapdragon 805 processor clocked at 2.7GHz under the hood, 3GB of RAM, 32GB or 64GB of storage, a 5.3-inch display with a 2560 x 1440-pixel resolution (565ppi), a huge 3,900mAh battery that promises up to 48 hours of battery life, support for Cat. 4 LTE, a 21-megapixel camera capable of recording 4K video, a 2-megapixel front-facing camera, 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac dual-band Wi-Fi support and more. Basically, it can be considered as a scaled down model of Nexus 6. 

It will be available in metallic black, metallic red, or what Verizon calls a "ballistic" black, which has an even more textured back. 

Verizon has a few deals for the DROID Turbo in place. It’s offering $100 toward the price if you trade-in a working smartphone, and is waiving activation and upgrade fees for the device.  Additionally, Verizon Edge customers who upgraded before July 1 can pick up the DROID Turbo with the same Verizon Edge pricing as new customers. 

As far as global availability is considered, Droid Turbo might be launched as is evident from the invites for a November 5 event. Rumours are for a name change to Moto Maxx, resurrecting the Maxx brand, which is associated with some of the most long-lasting batteries in the smartphone history.
