The Droid Turbo was a high end smartphone developed by Motorola Mobility. It is part of the Verizon Droid line, and was announced on October 28, 2014, on the Verizon Droid Does website.[2] The Droid Turbo maintains a similar design shape to its predecessor, the Droid Maxx, with new durable ballistic nylon or metallized glass fiber reinforced with Kevlar as the materials offered. The on-screen buttons for back, home, and multitask functions were kept off-screen as capacitive soft-keys below the display.[1] Due to Lenovo closing its acquisition of Motorola Mobility from Google, the Droid Turbo was the first phone released by Motorola Mobility under Lenovo ownership, as it was released through Verizon Wireless first on the same day the Lenovo sale closed, October 30, 2014.[3]

Specifications[edit]

Hardware[edit]

The Droid Turbo came with a Snapdragon 805 quad-core processor clocked at 2.7 GHz, an Adreno 420 GPU, natural language processor for the phone's contextual features, and was backed by a 3,900 mAh battery. The Droid Turbo also has a 5.2-inch Quad HD display with a 565 pixels per inch pixel density at a 1440×2560 resolution.[4]

Software[edit]

The Droid Turbo shipped with Android 4.4.4 KitKat. The Turbo also came with Motorola Mobility's Moto app, which includes features such as Moto Voice, Moto Display, Moto Actions, and Moto Assist.[5]

The device's operating system's first upgrade was to Android Lollipop, Android 5. Its last official upgrade was to Android Marshmallow, Android 6.0.1 and Motorola Mobility has confirmed that they have officially dropped support for the device and that the Droid Turbo would not receive the Android Nougat update.

Storage[edit]

The Droid Turbo features 32 GB of internal flash memory with the Kevlar version and 32 GB or 64 GB of internal flash memory with Ballistic nylon version. Both versions did not provide expandable memory via a MicroSDXC card slot.

International version[edit]

An international (GSM) version was announced in early November 2014, to be branded as "Moto Maxx", initially available only in Brazil, Puerto Rico and Mexico[6] and released in Chile by early 2015. Motorola Mobility released the smartphone in India by the name of the Moto Turbo earlier in 2015.[7]
