In early September of this year, Motorola introduced the second generation of public Moto X, then 2 months later in the US market together with mobile operator Verizon was presented Droid Turbo, which is the international version (Droid Maxx) came out a month later – in early November of this year – but so far only in South America. What will you choose Droid Turbo vs Moto X?

Not so long ago the company went under the wing of the Chinese Lenovo. It’s a shame to see that the company, which in the past was one of the largest and most successful American producers, now being bought is one, another giant. Motorola, probably the only company that manufactures smartphones sink version of Android – except for the Nexus-devices – adding only their applications and a variety of additional features such as Ambient Display, which perfectly complement the drain firmware.

Display – Droid Turbo vs Moto X

Comparing the two devices, it should be noted that both are worthy competitors of each other. Moto X has AMOLED-display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080, in turn, is embedded in the Droid Turbo already QHD-display, also on technology AMOLED. Both screens have the same characteristics and performance in various tests, but the first pixel density is inferior. Even taking into account the fact that the display is better Droid Turbo Moto X, it will not be better than its competitors, such as Note 4 or Galaxy S5. In our video review mentioned that the quality of the screen Droid Turbo and, accordingly, Moto X is not good enough – it does not show the true color and has trouble seeing the pictures on the maximum and minimum brightness. All this is due to the fact that the displays in both devices old developments that Samsung used two years ago. Therefore, in terms of the screen cannot be said that both devices are something to stand out from each other and from the competition, but because of the QHD-resolution wins in this aspect Droid Turbo or its international version of Moto Maxx.

Processor – Droid Turbo vs Moto X

Processors in the devices are also different: in the Moto X installed Snapdragon 801 processor with a clock frequency of 2.5 GHz Droid Turbo – already more modern and fast Snapdragon 805 processor with a clock frequency of 2.7 GHz. With regards to memory, here, too, there are differences: in the Moto X has only 2 gigabytes of RAM, as opposed to the 64-bit 3 gigabytes Droid Turbo. Indeed, virtually all tasks Droid Turbo on speed ahead Moto X; they are both very bright, Android devices on both “flies”, but Droid Turbo is still faster. It is worth noting, again we are talking about Android, that Moto X has already received Android 5.0 Lollipop, and that’s a plus, even if we consider that the Droid Turbo in the near future will also receive the new version.

Camera – Droid Turbo vs Moto X

The camera also has a notable difference: in both cases it shows mediocre results, but if you do not compare with devices from other manufacturers, the Moto X built a 13-megapixel camera with an aperture of f / 2.25 – indicator is not very impressive – in turn, Droid Turbo has a 21-megapixel camera with an aperture of f / 2.0. And like all good, plus everything we have different software improvements such as smart focus, support for 4K-videos feature slow-motion, etc., we also note the double flash on the Droid Turbo and a ring on the Moto X, however, even taking into account all listed, cameras in both devices averages, and all depends on the software part – Motorola programmers are not compatible with cameras, and it shows.

RAM – Droid Turbo vs Moto X

Regarding the characteristics of the Moto X is losing on all fronts, but for many users, the decisive factor is not the CPU and RAM, and design. Yes, the processor is weaker, less RAM, camera devices are equally “good”, but as for the design and materials of the case, then there is clearly wins Moto X, it is the first mass smartphone, which wrapped in leather – we are not talking about premium smartphones, such like Vertu and so on. e., – although Motorola devices fully be called mass because they do not suit many. That there is a metal frame around the body, two front stereo speakers, a beautiful ring flash – all this gives the device a certain charm.

Results – Droid Turbo vs Moto X

In turn, Droid Turbo has a design “on the fan”: it is in the style of Droid-like Device Company and only geeks and fans of Motorola. Of course, it may be noted and the materials of the case: this is Kevlar, which is used in bullet-proof vests, and nylon, which is capable of withstanding the enormous temperature, it is possible to mention the protection against moisture, but is an ordinary consumer is important to all of this? Is it important to the consumer – whether he will stand smartphone penetration in fire or water? Perhaps some important, but mainstream consumers clearly do not need it all. Consumers need quality housing that feels nice in the hand and is made of expensive materials, Kojima has Moto X. Solve anyway you because maybe you are the person who needs Kevlar, which like Droid-design, which are unimportant pleasant tactile sensation, and perhaps you’re a fan of the skin, metal, beautiful design. One cannot say which is better, but objectively speaking, subject only to the technical component; the Droid Turbo wins this battle.

A little over a week ago, Motorola in conjunction with the US operator Verizon unveiled its new flagship called Droid Turbo. Despite the rather attractive features, great battery, body materials and branded soft karaoke chips, binding to the operator rather strongly limits the audience not only to buy in our countries, but even in the United States. Previously, all had to put up with it, but times change, and now the Droid is outside the Verizon, the path and under a different name – Moto MAXX 2015.

I recall that line of Droid is exclusive to Verizon for quite a long time. Earlier smartphones within it produced and the company HTC, but recently it has been exclusively Moto MAXX 2015. Although, in fact, a brand owned by Droid Lucasfilms, starring Star Wars, and secure the right to use this word, and all of the above only license the rights to its use.

Moto MAXX 2015 – the international version of Droid Turbo

Earlier models such as, for example, Droid Moto MAXX 2015 quietly lived in a mobile network operator and forced him wanting buy or dance with a tambourine, ordering it from abroad (if the buyer is not in the US), limit yourself to operator services or change the operator Verizon ( if the buyer is in the US), or just leave this idea and buy analog. But from today to get experience with Droid Turbo will have a much larger number of people.

As a Droid-analogues, in Moto MAXX 2015 mounted 5,2″ QHD AMOLED display with a sub-screen control buttons, 805 Snapdragon processor from Qualcomm, clocked at 2.7 GHz paired with video accelerator Adreno 420, 3 GB of RAM, 32 / 64 GB of main memory, the main camera 21 MP and, of course, a giant battery for the whole of 3900mAh, which according to the manufacturer should be enough for 48 hours of mixed use. Given that the same figures were autonomy and for last year’s “longevity” Moto MAXX 2015, everything is going to be at a level even constant despite QHD-resolution, which is not entirely clear why you need here and now, for the clarity of the same Moto X (2014 ) no one complains, and in fact there is also 5.2”. The box will also go Turbo Charger, able to give you 6 hours of the device in just 15 minutes of charging.

In sale version of while the model will remain exclusive to Verizon. But on the back cover of Moto MAXX 2015 will be no markings except Moto logo in a circle. In addition, it is logical to assume that, like Moto X Pure Edition, the new Moto MAXX 2015 will very quickly receive updates (faster versions of operator), which is quite important in light output Android 5.0 Lollipop.

Presentation of the international version was held in Brazil, where Moto MAXX 2015 will be sold at a price equivalent to $ 870 (2199 reais), starting from today. Whether the machine is available outside the country of football and carnivals is unclear.

As far as related to the appearance of the international version of Droid Turbo with the end of the transaction for the purchase of Motorola Chinese giant Lenovo, we cannot say exactly, exactly like what kind of future awaits Droid lineup in the future. The right to use the trademark was transferred to new owners from China together with brands Moto X, Moto G, Moto E, Moto 360 and the other belonging to the division of Motorola Mobility.

On one of the most burning questions to see if Moto MAXX 2015 as official supplies to Europe until the answer is not possible. At this time we failed to get any official comment from Lenovo, but it is rumored that the beginning of deliveries possible in the first months of 2015. I emphasize that this information is in no way officially confirmed, so I would expect at this turn of events did not, but hope no one stops.

Droid Turbo with incredible battery and Moto X 2014 are among the most notable phones season. One of the main characteristics of the user’s interests is the quality of the camera device. It is time to compare the new camera phones Motorola, although it will not be easy to do, because the Moto X has a 13-megapixel camera, and the Droid Turbo boasts an incredible 21-megapixel camera.

We are talking about basic camera phone. Resource Explorer SlashGear Chris Barnes has done a great job, matching PhotoChances cameras considered smartphones and its remarkable Illustrated notes provide users with the opportunity to become acquainted with what has to be expected from new products Motorola.

Droid Turbo or Moto X?

At first glance it may seem that the Droid Turbo repeats specifications Moto X in 2014, but in fact it is not. Rather, it is much like Nexus 6 display, CPU, RAM, and even drive. Moto X 2014 is not so powerful.

So, Droid Turbo features a 21-megapixel camera on the back, while the 2014 Moto X users have to settle for a 13-megapixel camera. The more megapixels, the larger the image can be photographed. But does this mean that a “megapixel” camera lets you capture better photos and videos? Of course not! At least not always.

Droid Turbo based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 805, while the Moto X 2014 – by Qualcomm Snapdragon 801. It may also exert their influence on the quality of images and videos, as well as the processor does its job against them.

First of all, look at the trees photographed shadows sunny afternoon. The comparison shows that both cameras have achieved almost identical results and team photo appears solid, if not much to look closely and do not know what its parts are made ​​of different camera phones.

And now look at the pavement, photographed on a sunny day, but already the sun. And here you can already see some difference between the two cameras. Moto X 2014 takes a warmer image, while the image of the Droid Turbo more accurate.

Now it is the turn photos into conditions that can hardly be called favorable for photography. When shooting indoors, where the only light source is room lighting, Droid Turbo does the job a little better.

When you record movies with Moto X 2014 is a warmer sunny picture than the Droid Turbo, which produces clearer movies.

Have you noted a significant difference between the qualities of the cameras Droid Turbo  shooting two considered phones? Or she is not so great as to be decisive in the choice of his next smartphone user?

I never hid the fact that in recent years a passion for products from Motorola. Low-end models with indices E and G have almost no konkurenotov in their classes, and the flagship of the Moto X can easily compete with the industry’s best. But Motorola has left some drawbacks, the most important of which is probably the battery. And all this is traditionally solved in the line Droid. So the other day there are new details about the Droid Turbo, model 2014.

Earlier, the “light” has a lot of things. Not even so, actually flowed all: “spy” photos of the back cover, and features through benchmarks and stages of certification, and even complete instructions from Verizon, which should go in the box with the device. And just yesterday, the official twitter account DroidLanding and did put an image of the future flagship in red (you can see in the title picture) it remains only in the bar to forget. After that, of course, the message was deleted, but as you know, tweet – not a sparrow, although also birds, all things …

As you know, tweet – not a sparrow, though also birds, all the cases.

So, what do we know about the future Droid Turbo? Yes, almost everything. In terms of performance with a very high probability it will be installed Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 805 to four cores running at 2.6 GHz, paired with it will work accelerator Adreno 420, all of this is useful to display the image on the screen with a diagonal of 5 2″ with a resolution of QHD (2560 x 1440). In contrast to the same Moto X (2014), it will be “real” 5.2″ since keys should be placed under the screen, and not biting off its bottom.

In terms of memory promise 32GB + basic and 3 GB of RAM. The rear camera will get a 21 megapixel sensor (and if Motorola can not make it work fine, then it will be a clear diagnosis). But the main part of the last Droid’s at least their MAXX-part was the battery. And since, apparently, the new Droid will be only one (although who knows?) Battery and will not offend him. Judging by the leaked battery with index EQ40, its capacity will be as many as 3900 mAh. And that’s a lot, even with the QHD-screen.

If the Droid is really only one, and there will be no Droid Turbo MAXX, then pleasantly surprised at how thin it is (on the cover photo). It is possible that it’s just art of the photographer like what we saw with nynyshnim iMac’s generation, but nonetheless. From little things we already know that the slot for the SIM cards will be located in the same place and at the Droid MAXX, namely, a volume rocker. By the way, the course is quite practical, I think.

Another important point – the materials of the body. Let me remind you that the top droids were produced in Kevlar body, and judging by the photo leak back cover Droid Turbo, the same situation is going to be this year. However, I was a little annoying red. In the past year, if you remember, in the red was available model called the Droid Ultra and it would korus glossy.

In fact, the smartphone has been known for virtually all but the most important thing – the date of the announcement. Unnamed sources that are referenced resource DroidLife , say on 30 October. But maybe it will happen before, for example, with the release of Android L.

An important factor is the price. On the one hand, Droid Turbo – “Pimp” version of Moto X, so it is hardly worth waiting for a price below $ 650 and $ 700. But on the other hand, not so long ago, a representative of the same Motorola said that “the days of the 700-dollar smartofnov numbered.” In any case, wait for what will be cheap unlocked version is clearly not worth it.
