Just got my turbo today. Was on the fence between this or the Nexus 6 (can't stand touchwiz anymore). While an unlocked device was tempting, Droid Turbo's form factor and better reported battery life were the deciding factors.
Thoughts so far--- after a year and a half on touchwiz near stock is very refreshing. There are a hand full of things I miss (flashlight widget, app drawer folders, ect), but nothing a few downloads and Nova Launcher can't fix.
The camera seems about on par with the S4. There is a slight delay taking pictures (only time this thing doesn't fly actually), but the quality seems about the same.
Battery life compared to the S4 is sublime. Too early to give concrete stats, but I'm still over 70 % with over 3 hours screen on time. Heavy use; playing with the new features, installing updating apps, activating accounts, chasing my dog around to test the camera.
I actually wasn't too impressed with this phones design. I got the ballistic nylon version, and while I don't particularly think it's an attractive device--- it feels incredible in hand. Tactilely this phone feels awesome.
Besides the standard Verizon bloat, my biggest complaint is the screen. Not that there's anything wrong or bad about it--- it's just that Verizon sells this thing claiming Super Ultra HD with 5 million by 4 million resolution and 9000 DPI (*slight exaggeration*). I just don't see it. It's a marginal upgrade from my S4, not really a revelation.
Anyway, those are just my initial impressions. Thanks for reading.
