The Verge Droid Turbo Review

Motorola Droid Turbo review | The Verge

I like pretty phones, and I don't think the turbo is pretty, so buy a moto x

One of poorer written tech reviews I have read in a while.

I can't disagree with anything he said about the design of the phone. When compared to the X, the Turbo is honestly not a very "attractive" phone. Some people like the Droid design some don't. As someone who has used both phones, I agree with a lot of what he said

Can't see a lot of fault in the review. But battery is important to me, so the Moto X is out

Hi review is legit from his perspective.

I personally I'm find with the design, don't mind it being bulkier and heavier because of the battery. I can't tell the different between 1080p vs 4K either so I wish they had stuck with 1080p so battery life can last even longer.

Being that it's almost stock android give it an edge over the Note 4 for me.

Its odd that the general consensus is that the phone is unattractive, I suppose I personally favor utilitarian design approaches

Same here actually. I love the look of this phone, and I love even more the feel of it. And with all the wood peeling problems of the X I've been reading about, my main draw is out the window.

It could look like a brick so long as it performs and functions as it should. I'm all about the battery life - it's not like anyone is gain anything over a "pretty" phone.

If I was getting a moto x 2nd gen and there was a ballistic nylon option.. I would 100% opt for it

That's not even the dumbest review I've read for the Turbo.

A girl on Business Insider gave the Turbo and its camera a glowing review, which is great and all. But when I got to the statement (paraphrasing) "but it's not the number of megapixels that matter but the SIZE of the megapixels that matter." That's when I realized I should never read tech reviews from that young lady or website ever again...

What the Hell is so bad about it anyway? All phones are 95% the same anyway. His comment is nitpicky.

That was about as bad as the LiveLeak review of the Moto 360? There was a woman reviewing the 360 but couldn't stop talking about Apple. She could've at least tried to hide her bias.

I like the way this phone looks. I don't see how it's ugly, or how it's that much different than a moto x.

When it comes down to it, though, it's all about opinion.

The Moto X is a gorgeous device... but the Droid Turbo is equally attractive, in its own way.

It's like comparing Adriana Lima to Kate Upton. They're both great, yet different.

Too funny! I have (and love) a Moto X but the Turbo is a great phone and a better choice for some folks. I'm lucky and have really good battery life with my X but totally get the appeal of the larger battery on the Turbo.

Kate Uptons batteries are made from artificial polymers, but they definitely command good reviews.

I need to do a "hands on" comparison.
