Droid Turbo vs moto x 2014? - Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh

Obviously u guys went with the turbo... But is there really a difference (I know specs and all that). I mean every day use...
What made you go with the turbo vs the Moto x. I like the style and in hand feel of the Moto x, plus the ability to customize. I love the battery on the turbo...
Just trying to decide... And need different perspectives.
Thanks guys

I just checked Motomaker and could not design anything but a 16GB for Verizon.
So...64GB on Verizon still stands as a plus for the Turbo.

You can design a 32gb, but the 64gb is only for the pure edition (not Verizon).

You're right, I just saw the 64GB option and Verizon as a carrier choice. It does appear 32GB is still an option, but honestly a few nice play lists, and a couple movies when traveling and poof 32GB just isn't enough (plus I use Nav with offline maps so I've got ~10GB free on my 64GB).

I realized 32GB wouldn't do it for me when I had to do some long 1080p recordings.

Did you ask this same question in the Moto X 2014 forum? That would be the way to get some true varying opinions. Just coming here to ask would be like asking a bunch of Chevy owners whether you should buy a chevy or a ford.
Pros for the Moto X 2014: Thinner, lighter, more accessories, customization options, cheaper if you go with the lower memory option
Pros for the Turbo: Bigger battery, more memory if you go with the 64GB
I like more memory and the bigger battery so I would go with the Turbo.

I tried to design a Moto x and I was able to design a 32gb one

Y3ah I did. I figured if you ask each side you get the favorite things from each device. I think I'll go with the X. Just because performance-wise is not much of a difference... Besides the Moto maker option is cool. I ordered the 32gb cuz I'm not taking videos and stream all my music.
I appreciate the feedback

I have Both, plus i also keept my old HTC One m8.
After i bought the Moto Maxx ( Droid Turbo Variant here) i went back to the X, felt bigger a little misplaced in hand, and that sharp shin under the phone made a little uncorftable , but then my X went out of battery in the middle of the day sometimes , i got pissed off, so i went back to the Maxx (Turbo) , now i'm getting used to it. The battery is important to me , and the camera is better also. Another thing that was making me go back to Maxx was that Lillipop in the X was with some annoying bugs, settings in some apps was losing data and some other stuff, so instead of reverting back to kitkat i just picked up the Maxx in the drawer. One hand typing was easier on the X i miss i little bit of that thin body.

There is literally nothing wrong with that phone pictured.

Other phones to consider

Unfortunately, I will not be purchasing the phablet, it is simply to big for my taste and small hands. I was gutted when the rumors of it being 6 inches ended up being true. So, I am now lost as to what other phones to look into as I would like to upgrade my Nexus 4.
What are some phones with similar specs to the Nexus 6 without the ginormous size? I travel quite a bit so a good camera is a must.
Cheers!

The Sony Z3 looks interesting. The Verizon Z3v isn't quite as good, but I'm guessing you're not on Verizon.
I know this is the Nexus forum but the LG G3 might be a good one to put on the list. Still top specs and large screen without the weight and size.

Same situation, that's what I'm trying to do!
I would get the Droid turbo if I wasn't getting the Nexus. I believe there will be a GSM variant. Smaller but huge battery. I would also consider the OPO.
Ditto what hockeyman12c said. Droid Turbo or the GSM variant (Moto X Play) have nearly the same specs as the Nexus 6 but in a smaller form factor.
Droid turbo, opo or whatever phone that has huge battery.

Was once the best phone you couldn't buy.
Now it isn't the best phone, the company selling it has the worst customer support in the industry, the Q/C is no bueno...and...wait for it...you still can't buy it even if you wanted to.
Posting their "pre-order" 2 days before Nexus6 is just monumentally stupid timing.
My first recommendation would be the Moto X. I just got mine and it is one seriously amazing device. Same look and feel as the N6, stock Android, unlocked bootloader if you get the Pure Edition... It got kind of a bad rap for its battery, but believe me, it's not as bad as its rating would have you believe. I can get 6 hours screen time, no problem. I can't recommend it enough.
Another option would be the Nexus 5, which is still a beast of a phone. It definitely has at least another year of life left, especially with Android L on the horizon which makes it a completely different phone. I just flashed L on it last night, and it makes me want to use it as my daily driver again, even though I just bought the iPhone 6 and 2014 Moto X. You can't go wrong if you get the N5.
If you are in the US, droid turbo is a good choice

Another vote for the Z3C, battery life is a beast. 7.5 SOT over 13 hours of heavy usage. (no games though)

Sell my S5 and get a Moto X 2nd gen

Hey guys i know people are going to have very different opinions but what do you guys think i should do? I really like the look of moto x and like the fact that i can customize the look in moto maker. S5 doesnt really have any huge features that i use. The only thing i would miss is the camera as i take pics of my 10 month old son.
moto x has the cool notification thing and stuff. And the fact i have the £100 off promo code. I would be looking at tue 32gb model and can get around £260 for my S5.
So is it worth buying the moto x and selling the s5?
Sent from my SM-G900F using XDA Free mobile app
I can tell you as a moto x owner, its a great piece of hardware IF, if don't mind the camera producing barely adequate photos and below adequate battery life. If you don't mind these two then its perfect for you but I do suggest you get the turbo charger, probably the best little battery solution if you don't mind carrying a charger
Cant the camera be sorted out using a different camera app? I heard the camera app on the moto x is a bit pants. The camera and battery are the only 2 things holding me back right now. If i can get a full day at work out of the phone then i would be happy with the battery

The two phones are very similar, but completely different. Almost exactly same size, AMOLED screen, same processor. Samsung is touchwiz SAMSUNG environment (I have a SAMSUNG tablet) with every feature possible stuffed in someplace, but with the chance of lag. Motorola is Android, with some neat interaction features that you can load or disable. Moto X camera and screen are fine, but the Samsung screen and camera are a little better, Samsung has a microSD slot. Samsung has odd plastic materials that you throw in a case to cover. Motorola has ultra-premium build with custom materials that you don't want to cover. Do you want a super-loaded estate that can carry anything you need, but is not so much fun to drive or look at, or an ultra-light stripped-down sports car with premium finish? They will both get you to work.

From my reading about the Moto X 2014 camera; it pretty good. Only in low light situations is were it has trouble. Other then that; the pictures are " pretty close" to that of the iPhone 6 in quality.
I think you will like the new Moto X 2014. I just purchase a 32GB Yellow 5C and like it very much. But I going to get a new Moto X 2014 because I like the look too! Plus, I never had an Android phone before! With the $150 off; it makes buying the Moto X that much easier to do! After all; you only live once!(that I know of). LOL!

Yeah my problem is ive had 2 phones since the LG G3 was released. I had the G3 and got rid of it due to it shutting itself off (which happened to my gf's G3 too) and then got the S5 a couple months later. And my only real issues with the S5 are its plastic build, touchwiz (using nova though) and all the pre installed junk. Love nexus devices and really wanted the nexus 6 but that bad boys just far to big for my small hands lol.

We all have different needs and requirements from phones, but I will personally state the Moto X2 is the finest phone I've owned so far. I've never owned a contract carrer phone, but have owned the Moto X 2013, Nexus 5, Galaxy S III, and now the Nexus 6 but this phone beats all. Battery life has not been an issue for me - with moderate screen on time I'm getting 24hrs until a recharge is necessary.
Now's the time to make the switch if you can take advantage of the $140 discount being offered today until 5PM CST...
Thanks for the help everyone any more info on the battery and camera of the moto x would be welcome. If i k ew how to upload pics of my S5 battery usage i would ask for an idea of how long you think the moto x battery would last in comparison lol.
Oh and i think us guys in the uk may have less options in the moto maker compared to you guys across the pond. Dont quote me on that though. Just very hard to tell what the colours look like without a real world screen shot.

Got the models mixed up! Apple and Samsung! Yes, think you might like the Moto X 2014 better then the Samsung Galaxy S5 since Samsung customizes their launcher and the look of the back cover is sort of cheesy vinyl but that all up to you to make the call to switch! $150 off is the equalizer if however, you choice to do the switch! What a decision to make!
I've had the GS4 and this MotoX. I can tell you without a doubt, after using it,I would jump on the S5. The sd card, the display, the battery, and camera, its all superior. The sd card alone is worth the lag that touchwiz gives. That said, this is the fastest phone I've ever touched.

Take a look at the thread under general of photos of peoples phones. It will give you a good idea of what the combinations look like. 2 or 3 leather, 4 wood, and 10 or 12 colours with white of black front and 8 or 10 trim hi-lights.
So do you guys think selling my s5 to get a moto X is worth it? Or am i just spending an extra £100 for nothing? Lol so undicided at the moment its driving me nuts lol

Same processor, same RAM, same screen... though I find the S5 better. Worse battery life by far, worse camera, no SD card, no water proofing, no USB 3.0, no awful fingerprint reader. Then again, you gain a better build and some exterior features, along with the active screen and other software stuff. Don't know about you, but I don't spend much time looking at the back of my phone.
If you put your phone in a case, then there's no doubt you should stay with the S5 and invest when a real upgrade comes along. The Droid Turbo 64gb maybe, this I'd say no.
Anyone else got any opinions on selling my galaxy S5 to get a Moto X? Im really torn at the moment and really want the moto x for its beauty and vanilla android experiance but am still a little worried about battery life and the screen issues ive read about.

All I can say is that you'll love the Moto X. If you have the money, go for it. I had a Moto X for a week and returned it. Now, I'm already missing it a lot. I didn't return it because I didn't like it; I returned it because it is a pain in the ass for me to get the 32gb version and it was costly to import. So, now with the 100 euros discount, I'm definitely gonna order one through Moto Maker and get it delivered here through a mail forwaring service. I was going to get the Nexus 5 32gb instead because of the reasons I pointed earlier, but now it's a no brainer.
The software features and build quality of it are impressive.
At this point, I had never considered buying a Samsung phone. If you like yours, nothing against it, but from my experience in store, the build quality and Touch Wiz is like a repellent.

I had the standard soft touch plastic back. It is really great, if you like it. Though, this time I'm going for the leather, since the customization factor is a big one on the Moto X.

Personally, if offered the 2 phones, I would take the Moto X. If offered the 2 phones, but I had to pay an extra $100 for the Moto X, I would take the S5. In your case, I would sit tight for a while. You have any interest in a Nexus 6? That is a different beast.

Understood.
If you do get the X, the options for wood or leather do make it special. Nobody else has that. Natural leather appears to be ageing poorly, but the dyed versions are holding up well.

Storage depends on your usage. If you need more than 32GB (don't know if you can get the 64GB version) then this phone isn't for you. If you have large amounts of data in your plan and stream everything (this is what I do) even 16GB might be enough.
The camera is okay but won't stand a change against the Note's.
Fixed battery IMO is just a feature that Samsung fanboys use to have an argument for their device. I'd bet almost nobody carries around a second battery to replace the empty one in the phone.
And who needs Motos service centers? I am pretty sure here in Germany not a single one of these centers exist and that didn't keep me from buying the phone. If something is wrong with your phone just talk to the moto support in India and sent the phone to them and you should be good.
Yes... I have decided to but Moto x2... :thumbup: thanx guys for the guidance... Xda rocks...

Moto X 2014 is a sweet phone in the hand and looks amazing. Mine is now sitting in a drawer though and I am using a Moto Maxx. I really think there is something wrong with how Motorola is building the firmware for the Moto X 2014. The phone just doesn't work as well as it should with the hardware it has and the battery life really does stink. Hopefully the final release of 5.1.x solves a bunch of issues, if not then the phone really only shines with 4.4.4 installed. I say all of this as someone who has been a 20+ year diehard Motorola fan.

If you want to write with a stylus, get a note. If you just use the touchscreen, get the X. I have a note tablet and have no interest in a note phone - too small for all of the benefit of a stylus for me.

Still worth buying (used) Moto X?

I have a deal of used XT1060 for 116$. Is the 2013 Moto X still worth buying? Is it still considered a "top" mobile phone?

Moto X (2013) is no longer considered a "top" phone. Even when it was new it was never considered a "proper flagship". But while it lacked in specs and raw power, it was the usability of the device as a whole what made it a charming phone.
I think $116 is not a bad price for one, considering it is in good/excellent condition. If you are looking for a good phone, with all the basics covered, that sits comfortably in your hand, the Moto X is the way to go. If you want raw power and good AnTuTu scores you should look somewhere else.
getting a deal on a mint dev edition moto x verizon. Will this work on gsm networks outside the states? really getting it to run cm 12.1.

I see. I'm certainly not looking for a smartphone for gaming, but I think I'll go with the 2014 version after what you've said.
If the size of the Moto X 2014 is not a problem for you, I would recommend that one. I'm too used to 4.7" phones, so I'm still struggling to decide what device to move to from here.
If you can get it new, do it!
A 2 yo used phone could have battery issues, so I wouldn't recommend it... (The phone is however still good, with latest OS and everything you need. Except gaming raw power. But Motorola was never about raw power.)
Better Wait for few days
Moto X 2013, if you go by configuration and cheap pricing for old phone i would suggest you to go for it. But if you can add more money and wait for MOTO X Style (coming this sep) you'll get a far much better configuration which will stand out with the nxt gen OS also. Thinking ahead in 2 years.
So my suggestion go for Moto X Style.
Hmm. I love my Moto-X 1st gen (XT-1055) US Cellular. Now on Lollipop.
As for battery. It can get replaced in the future. Go to youtube and check out the videos.

Same. Just went for the Sony Xperia z3 Compact. Had it for a couple of days. Although I miss some things about the moto x, I like this so far. We don't really have any other options haha.

I just don't have that extra money for the X Style, or generally, any premium 2015 smartphone.

Done! Moto X 2014 (Pure Edition) is now on its way. only 250$ for new sealed box. That's about twice as the 1st gen deal but it's one year younger and new from the factory.

Opinion Needed Please

Been using the x 2013 for some time now and its just about perfect. I dont game, my use is heavy on web, text. The problem with my X is that the microphone doesnt seem to work anymore, I have to carry a wired or bluetooth to talk on the phone...which is a pain.
I want something small, similar in size, to replace it. Ive narrowed it down to a Nexus 5 or One Plus X. Which would you guys recommend? Anyone else make a move from the X 2013 to one of these models?
Thanks,
Mario

OPX is indeed a good choice or maybe go for the 2nd Gen, which has almost the same hardware as OPX.But if you look realistically, none of these is truly in the same size category, which is pitty, this leads me to suggest going for a Xperia Z3 Compact after all.

Not sure where you are located, but if in the USA, be sure to check the lte bands. The One Plus X is light on actual bands.
I recently bought few phones and don't know which one to keep to replace my old 2013 moto x. I got galaxy alpha, oneplus x, and Z5 compact. To be honest none feel as good ergonomically as the moto x. The oneplus is nice, good screen and speed but a Lil big. The z5c is really nice but darn thing si hard to hold without a case. Just way too slippery. And loli on it not very fast in my opinion. Also gets pretty warm with light surfing. Not terribly hot but the hottest of the bunch. The alpha is good all around. Nice size, weight is awesome... So light! Speed seems good. My first time using Samsung, it's not as terrible as I thought would be. I switched to Nova prime and feels good. No SD card is a bummer but not deal breaker. It's also slippery but best grip of bunch without case. Screen is good but a bit yellow and not as sharp next to oneplus.
What do you all think, which would you keep?
Thanks.

Actually i would keep none and stick to the moto x a little longer. If you definitely want a new one, i would look for at least 3gb of ram and very fast internal flash. I thought about buying the xiaomi mi4c but since using cm13 i don't see the big advantage anymore.

Yeah I really can't decide. I'm over thinking it for sure. I wish they would release an updated 2013 moto x.
Which cm you have on yours? Battery life OK? Thanks.
