And don't forget that the up charge for 32GB phone over a 16GB version is usually $50. The Turbo will have 32GB standard. Which brings up another question, will there be a 64GB version?

The Z3v is more of a Z2 than a Z3. I was intrigued by it until I dove deeper and saw that.

Agreed....after looking into it deeper.

Man I really hope they drop a 64 gb version. With no sd card 32 gb is not enough for me. I have a 64 gb in my RMHD and it has been useful.

I was considering the Nexus 6 but after seeing that the Droid turbo has a much bigger battery and smaller screen I can't believe the Nexus 6 is going to last longer in normal use that iDroid turbo. I am still somewhat up in the air but I'm really leaning towards the Droid turbo I am going to have to pay full retail as I got the Droid Maxx about 13 months ago with an upgrade but I think it's going to be worth every penny.

The turbo will have much much better battery life than the nexus 6. With the droid maxx I could get around 7 hours of screen on time give or take. Next best phone I've had is the galaxy s5 which barely gets me 4hrs. With basically the same specs but a lot bigger battery and a lot smaller screen the new maxx *should* have alot better battery than the nexus 6 even with android L battery optimazion and at the very least should equal the battery life of the old maxx.

I haven't had a phone that's lasted more than a day in years. Will it be best to just charge the Turbo every night even if I use half or less of the battery capacity or should I wait until it is fully or almost drained (2 days)?

Thanks.

Top it off at night. That's what I do regardless of charge level.

It's definitely better to have many small charges than fewer large charges. There is a lot of information about this at batteryuniversity.com.

I charge my droid maxx nightly, and I usually sneak it onto the charger when I take a shower, go somewhere where I can't take the phone (e.g., swimming), when I'm driving if the charge level is below 75%, etc.

Funny. I always avoided charging frequently because my phone would get hot while charging (especially wirelessly). Figured that was bad for the battery.

Wireless is worse than wired. That's also at batteryuniversity. Heat happens for long, deep charges or short charges.
