…a hardcore device for the most extensive use
Motorola here, with the Droid Turbo tried to make a very powerful device in terms of hardware and software and simultaneously keep it cheap (or not so expensive if you prefer). We could say that they succeeded in a very satisfying degree. The device’s performance is fantastic, supported by a Quad-core 2.7 GHz Krait 450 CPU, the powerful Adreno 420 GPU and it has 3GB of RAM. That make it one of the most powerful devices you can ever get at that price range. In addition it supports a lot of features like fast battery charging, wireless charging and in general is very well equipped. Beside the very good equipment, we could not forget to mention about the water-repellent build materials of the device. Is the first smartphone using Ballistic Nylon, and the “traditional” DuPont Kevlar of Motorola Droid is enhanced by the addition of Metallized Glass Fiber. However, is the Motorola Droid Turbo the perfect smartphone? We don’t think so.
1. Overheating
The main buyers of such a device are people who will seek performance for very demanding and extensive use. It is noticed though in some cases a not so pleasant overheat of the device. And a lot of people used the Droid Turbo noted that the device heats up pretty fast. The Droid Turbo will respond at almost every demanding use or process, but it will not feel good at it.
2. What about Usability?
In the end of the day the Motorola Droid Turbo is a smartphone and as any smartphone it should support perfectly the most basic operations of a phone. And with the most basic operations of a phone, we mean that it should be easy to handle, easy to use and suitable for mobility. Then we sadly notice that the sharp bottom makes it uncomfortable to hold and in general it is heavy and not so easy to handle.
3. It is not attractive at all
All you have to do is observe the phone and then watch at its competitors and you will realize that the Motorola Droid Turbo doesn’t have any sense of modern style. It is very thick and it feels bulky and dated. It definitely lacks of a character that will catch your eye on it and it is a bit tedious without any detail of attractiveness.
4. Lack of memory expansion
As we always say we are in a time that pictures, videos and in general media are getting larger and larger in size due to their evolution of quality. The fact that you cannot extend the storage capacity it kind of limits the usage of the phone and that simply doesn’t seem right for a device that is characterized that is suitable for the most extensive use.
5. Lack Of Stereo Speakers
That is a big disappointment. We talk about a phone that it has to be used a lot and it is emphasizing in performance and multimedia. And in the market, most of the new and capable smartphones come with stereo speakers. The Droid Turbo should definitely be able to compete them in multimedia aspects.
