Motorola DROID Turbo 2 Specs Sheet Show One Huge Difference Between Its Predecessor

No doubt that DROID Turbo was a mobile powerhouse and was fitted with a battery that rivaled those capacities present in tablets, but its successor, Motorola DROID Turbo 2 will obviously scale above it in terms of hardware specifications. However, there is one crucial feature difference that will definitely compel future smartphone consumers to go ahead and purchase the upcoming handset.

Motorola DROID Turbo 2 Has A MicroSD Card Support Up To 2TB – Other Specifications Show That The Smartphone Is No Slouch In Other Categories EitherWe had previously reported that Motorola DROID Turbo 2 would be incorporated with a 3,760mAh battery (http://wccftech.com/droid-turbo-2-hardware-leaks-shows-massive-battery-pack-coming/), which might be slightly lower than what was present in the original DROID Turbo, but there other flexible trade-offs that you will receive in return. First, and foremost, DROID Turbo 2 will finally have support for a MicroSD card slot, and after years of releasing high-end smartphones, Motorola has finally found a change of heart. Looks like after the release of the company’s Moto series of devices, the company will finally start to include this necessary feature in future products as well.

DROID Turbo 2 will provide support for MicroSD card up to 2TB, and until now, Microdia is the only company that has released a 512GB storage card (http://wccftech.com/microdia-stuffs-512-gb-storage-microsd-card-overtakes-sandisk/), and trust us, it does not go easy on your wallet. Additionally, the handset is said to have a shatterproof screen, and while DROID Turbo 2 might have a very robust screen, we are confident that overzealous reviewers will take their durability tests to the limit, which obviously means that a hammer and several drop tests will come into play.

The large battery capacity will allow smartphone users to get up to 48 hours of battery life, but the specifications sheet did not detail on what kind of tasks users will have to be engaged in in order to experience the aforesaid battery life. For smartphone camera enthusiasts, a 21MP rear shooter is going to be present, and we will definitely get to know more about the details of the camera sensor when a teardown of DROID Turbo 2 takes place.

The smartphone will have an exclusive carrier, much like its predecessor in the form of Verizon, so do not expect anything to change regarding this. Coming to your opinion, would you purchase this smartphone after looking at all the details present in the spec sheet? Let us know your thoughts.

Motorola Droid Turbo 2 And Droid Maxx 2 Review: Shatterproof And Value Android


Meet The New Motorola Droid Turbo 2 and Droid Maxx 2
Not long ago, we kicked the tires on Motorola’s well-received Moto X Pure Edition (http://hothardware.com/reviews/motorola-x-pure-edition-2015-smartphone-review). The smartphone impressed us with its Quad HD display and overall build quality, as well as its $399 price tag, which places it more reasonably below the lofty prices of the Samsung Galaxy S6 (http://hothardware.com/tags/galaxy-s6) and Apple iPhone 6S (http://hothardware.com/tags/iphone-6s) lines. Today, we’re taking a look at two new smartphones from the Lenovo-owned Motorola - the Droid Turbo 2 and the Droid Maxx 2, which bring their own unique value proposition.

Whereas the Moto X Pure Edition isn’t carrier-specific, the Turbo 2 and Maxx 2 are part of the Verizon Droid line. The Turbo 2, which starts at $624, has higher-end hardware than the Maxx 2 and features Motorola’s new ShatterShield display, which is bound to appeal to anyone who has lost a phone to clumsiness. However, with a starting retail price of $384, the Maxx 2 is significantly cheaper, so if it can handle mainstream tasks and games adequately, there are plenty of customers who will be willing to overlook the lack of a shatterproof screen, something that virtually no other manufacturer can lay claim to currently

There is a lot to like about the Droid Turbo 2’s hardware. The phone features a Qaulcomm Snapdragon 810 processor @2GHz and 3GB of LPDDR4 memory, which should give you plenty of power for running multiple browser tabs and other tasks that might throw off an underpowered device. Storage starts at 32GB, which isn’t particularly impressive, but you can bump the price from $624 to $720 for a model that features 64GB of onboard memory. Either way, you’ll have the option to improve the phone’s storage via the microSD card slot, which supports cards up to 2TB. The Droid Turbo 2 also sports the latest 802.11a/b/g/n/ac support and Bluetooth 4.1 LTE. The phone also has a solid 21MP rear camera and a 5MP front camera that boasts a wide-angle lens for better selfies. (We cover the cameras in more detail later in the review).



The Droid’s 5.4-inch AMOLED display features a resolution of 2560 x 1440 at 540ppi. Where the Moto X Pure Edition and Droid Maxx 2 have Corning Gorilla Glass 3 screens, the Droid Turbo 2 features the Moto ShatterShield (http://hothardware.com/tags/shattershield), which is designed to withstand that gut-clenching moment when your phone slips from your fingers and lands on concrete. The best way to make a claim like this is to prove and put your money where your mouth is – and Motorola is doing both. The company demonstrated a phone-drop with a cement block at launch and is backing the ShatterShield with a four-year guarantee.

The Moto DROID Maxx 2

The Droid Maxx 2 has pared-down hardware compared to the Droid Turbo 2 and is fairly similar to the Moto X Play. The 1.7GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 packs a lighter punch than the Turbo 2’s 810 and the Adreno 405 graphics won’t keep up with the Turbo 2’s Adreno 430.

The phone includes 2GB of RAM, which is tolerable, but comes up short in the storage department with just 16GB of internal storage. On the upside, the phone has a microSD card slot for up 128GB of extra storage.

The Droid Maxx 2’s display is a 5.5-inch 1080p screen at 403ppi. It doesn’t have the ShatterShield that the Droid Turbo 2 sports, but its Corning Gorilla Glass 3 is likely to be tough enough for the day-to-day bumps. The phone has 802.11a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, in addition to 4G LTE and related cellular connectivity.

Motorola makes bold claims about the battery life of both phones, which we’ll get to in a bit. For now, let’s take a close-up look at Motorola’s newest smartphones.
