XanPhone's review of the Motorola Droid Turbo
original version, submitted Oct 30, 2014, 1:20 PM:
Wow...Home Run Moto!
Carrier: Verizon Wireless (Michigan) 64gig Balistic Nylon
Pros:
Battery!
Screen looks incredible!
Nearly stock Android 4.4.4 KitKat.
Fast User Interface
Features
Major Camera Improvements
Build Quality
Speaker Placement
Full Tactile Buttons
Cons:
Speaker Quality (slightly tinny)
Sound: Volume
After owning an iPHone 5, I decided a few weeks ago to give Android another try. Picked up a GS5 but decided to return it. Have been using a Motorla X (1st Gen) since then waiting for this device.
First, the screen quality and resolution is INCREDIBLE. Colors are vivid, images and text are sharp, screen scrolls smoothly. The over 500 ppi (Pixels Per Inch) is superior to the s5. The phone comes with Android 4.4.4 KitKat pre-loaded. Very fast user inteface, doesn't lag like other manufacturers.
Of course, the battery life is the major selling point of this device.
Some people don't care for the actual buttons on the phone. I prefer the tactile buttons opposed to the screen ones. They are always available to use without having to swipe down on the screen. Don't really remove that much screen real-estate in my opinion.
There are only a couple of small cons that I have sound so far. Even though the speaker is now located on the front of the device (thank you Motorola for listening to your user base!), speakerphone sound is a little quiet for my liking. It's not hard to hear, it's just not as robust as some other phones out there.
The camera is a VAST improvement from prior Moto phones, but still feel it's a little behind Apple and Samsung devices. The gap has been decreased significantly however. Wish there was some sort of image stabilization to go along with the f2.0 lens. The volume buttons and locking button feel slightly flimsy. Don't feel that they are going to break off, just not as solid as others.
Overall, great device released by Motorola! Will update battery life stats as it is used more.
