Motorola Droid Turbo 2

On October 27, 2015, Motorola and Verizon introduced the Motorola Droid Turbo 2.

The Droid Turbo 2 features a 5.4-inch shatterproof QHD display, 48-hours of battery life, a 21MP camera, and 5MP selfie camera, while having a very similar overall look to the other Moto X models that Motorola already announced this year. Additionally, the Turbo 2 contains Qualcomm's Snapdragon 810 (MSM8994) processor, along with 32 or 64GB of internal storage and up to 2TB expandable storage. Powering it through the day will be a 3,760mAh battery. With the Turbocharger, you'll be able to grab an additional 13 hours of battery life by just charging for 15 minutes.

The Droid Turbo 2 also sports a new feature that Motorola calls ShatterShield. According to Motorola, ShatterShield makes the Turbo 2 the "world's first phone screen guaranteed not to crack or shatter". A four-year warranty applies to any cracking or shattering.

Motorola's annual partnership with Verizon introduced a Moto X with a screen you'll have a hard time breaking and a massive battery, but some usability was sacrificed in the process.

The Droid Turbo 2 is Motorola and Verizon's latest (and still exclusive) high-end Droid offering, and it comes in at a high price point to go with its high-end specs. But this isn't the only great phone on Verizon — there are plenty of other models that go toe-to-toe with the Droid Turbo 2 in every category.

Motorola and Samsung often approach smartphones from wildly different perspectives, and this year that couldn't be more evident.

Motorola and LG have been competing in a lot of the same spaces this year, but the Droid Turbo 2 is promising the ability to survive things the G4 will never be able to handle.

The original Droid Turbo was an odd take on the Moto X 2014, and now the Droid Turbo 2 is loosely based on the Moto X Pure Edition — but when you set these two Droids next to one another it's hard to draw many parallels.
