Purported Motorola Droid Turbo stars in slew of leaked pics ahead of launch

After covering its low-end, mid-range and upper mid-range bases with the Moto E, New Moto G and New Moto X, Motorola seems ready to also pull out all the high-end stops by 2014’s close, at least on Verizon.



Since as long as we can remember, mediocre battery life has been one of the main complaints formulated by smartphone users. And until recently, probably the number one reason some tech consumers refused to abandon the sinking feature phone ship.

Still, while most device manufacturers put all their resources into coming up with constantly slimmer, lighter, chicer gear that increasingly disappointed from an autonomy standpoint, one OEM remained dedicated to big-battery smartphones.

So what if members of the Motorola Droid Maxx line are chunky and, yes, ugly compared to Samsung’s fragile, perennially wiped out jewels? At the end of the day, some view phones as tools rather than fashion statements, and for what they’re meant, Maxxes pull off their tasks splendidly.



It is thus with great excitement that we welcome the next iteration in the Verizon-exclusive Droid Maxx series, the Turbo. No, not the Maxx Turbo, the Turbo. Or so insiders claim Motorola will christen the late 2014 battery powerhouse.

But whatever the market name, the Maxx DNA is impossible to hide. What’s a little unsettling is, while the Turbo seems to keep the family’s design language intact, the profile looks markedly slimmed down. Naturally, we’re concerned battery capacity shrunk instead of growing, all while screen size and resolution were unquestionably boosted.



Namely, rumor is the Turbo’s display measures 5.2 inches in diagonal and boasts 2,560 x 1,440 pixels, aka Quad HD resolution, in which case a smaller than 3,000 mAh cell would be a horrible, horrible disappointment. Maybe that’s why Moto tweaked the branding?

We certainly hope not, and to be frank, we could make do with a slightly more modest panel too. Full HD is, according to many, the sweet spot. Sure, the rest of the speculated features sound dreamy, 3 GB RAM, Snapdragon 805 processor and 20 MP camera included, but we still care first and foremost about the juicer. Got it, Big Red, Moto? Now act accordingly.
