Droid Turbo review

Meet Motorola's supercharged Android phone for Verizon

5.2-inch quad HD display ; Top-of-the-line specs ; 48-hour battery life ; Qi + Turbo charging

Verizon-only ; Subdued design ; Moto X a better deal

Droid Turbo is Motorola's Android phone hat-trick following the Nexus 6 and Moto X. It's the almost-perfect blend of the two with advanced specs in a subdued one-handed 5.2-inch design. You just have to be Verizon customer.

Motorola Droid Turbo: Killer battery, but it won't last unless you baby it

The Droid Turbo lives up to its name as a turbocharged monster that will get you anywhere between 24 to 36 hours... of careful use.

Battery life is great for a phone with so much power ; Ridiculously sharp Quad HD resolution display ; High-res 21-megapixel camera

Two-day battery life is more like one day, but a full day ; No microSD card slot ; Phone is on the thick side

The Droid Turbo lives up to its name as a turbocharged monster with all the elite specs you want and a battery that will get you anywhere between 24 to 36 hours on a single charge, if you manage your usage carefully. It's not quite 48 hours, but it's...

Motorola Droid Turbo review: better than the Moto X, but only a little

Once upon a time, not all that long ago, Motorola released an excellent flagship phone called the Moto X. Sure, it didn't have the best battery ever and

Long battery life ; Attractive Quad HD screen ; Powerful performance ; Camera a clear improvement over the Moto X's

Less charming design than the Moto X ; No expandable memory ; It's exclusive to Verizon

While it lacks the style and charm of the 2014 Moto X, the Droid Turbo is a powerhouse that manages to outperform its relative in nearly every way that matters. Sadly, it's a Verizon exclusive so the rest of you (unless you live in Brazil and Mexico...

Florence Ion

It's a shame this Quad HD-equipped, almost-stock device is only available for Verizon subscribers, because it has potential to be a big seller.

Crisp, clear Quad HD display with fantastic viewing angles ; Long lasting battery life that lives up to Motorola's promises ; Top-of-the-line processor running near-stock Android

Only one front-facing speaker ; Boring, basic design that will only appeal to a subset of users

if you’re locked in to Big Red and are looking for an all-around great phone that can do just a little bit more than your friend’s—and you don’t mind its uninspiring, utilitarian design—the Droid Turbo...

Motorola Droid Turbo ( 32GB, metallic red)

Like a lot of top-of-the-line phones these days, it has an eye-watering 1,440p HD display and all the specs to impress. Motorola's excellent software is always listening for your command, and a fast-charging 3,900mAh battery is icing on the cake....

Hands-free voice controls and epically long battery life supercharge the Motorola Droid Turbo. Its high screen resolution and crisp, nimble camera earn it bonus points.

A sharp bottom point makes the Droid Turbo uncomfortable to hold, and the black color's nylon backing feels cheap. The heavy phone also heats up fast.

Even with its hefty design, the Motorola Droid Turbo's robust battery, powerful processor and vivid display put it on the short list for Verizon customers.

Camera is sluggish and struggles in low light; Below-average screen brightness; Verizon and Amazon bloatware ; The Droid Turbo combines very fast performance and long battery life in a durable design, making it a solid choice for Verizon shoppers.
