Why is everyone switching from Droid Turbo to Moto X? I think Droid Turbo is far superior than Moto X 2014 but never used a turbo so I'm not sure.
I guess the major reason is that we dont have root on droid turbo and moto x already got lollipop. I did thought about that too until i tested the droid has way better camera compare to the x

Much better camera and much better battery but from every review I have seen, camera takes a 1 second pause after taking a pic which is not the case with Moto X 2014. I don't care about root personally but camera taking 1 second between pics could be a deal breaker
I dont see any issue, that 1 second pause issue was the hdr, if you turn it off, i dont have issue at all. Also, i guess droid use hdr a lot more than x because of the sensor it use on turbo.

May have to stop by at a Verizon store and switch to Verizon from AT&T then. Hopefully selling X will cover some of the bill that AT&T will send after numbers are ported lol.
Thanks man.
Yeah, go ahead and take a look, try it and see how it perform first. It is always the best idea to try it by yourself.

Ok when you say fair trade, what do you mean by fair trade because fair for me may not be fair for you.
Also just to make sure I'm not dreaming, you are willing to trade a DROID TURBO 64GB Ballistic Nylon version for a
Moto X(2014)? Any other terms?

Exactly.
Well you had my curiosity now you have my attention. Lets talk business. What exactly do you propose?
If you're giving up the Turbo to get an X on lollipop, you're making a big mistake. Stock X lollipop is horrible. It has terrible memory leaks and stutters worse than any phone I've ever owned, even early model Samsung androids with their proprietary file system that was so bad.
I'm in no rush to get lollipop on my Turbo and I wish could go back to KitKat on my Pure Edition X.

If you want I can customized your MOTO X, just trade nothing more
Good luck. Having owned both, the Turbo is "better" in the sense that it has a bigger battery and wireless charging. The rest of the specs are fairly meaningless to me. The Moto X 2014 is a very nice, slim, device with all of the software features. 5.0 is a tad buggy, but not a showstopper for me. So, if you are looking for a lighter and slimmer device with 17 hours of battery life, the Moto X is a great device.

I returned my Droid maxx on vz to go a family plan att moto maker. I loved the maxx but solo plan was too pricey, on the family plan i dropped my sprint plan, returned the maxx and got a moto x custom on att. To be honest if other carriers offered the moto maker i would have kept my sprint plan, droid maxx was great but not worth the price unless i could get users to share the price. I hope moto gets the nexus 5 and offers the maxx and x at nexus pricing.
imagine the motorola droid maxx battery with kevlar back - on a slightly larger moto x form, 4.9" screen curved kevlar back, i can do without moto maker to get the off contract nexus price structure. I dropped the motorola droid maxx which many people dont realize is motorola droid ultra maxx to not confuse with previous lines. to get the moto x. They have the same specs but i find the smaller phone provides more stable camera use, i miss the extreme 2 day battery use i got on the maxx but like the shared family price on att.
Good
I have my upgrade this week on Verizon, I've been taking a very serious look at the moto X. Motomaker is one of the coolest things on the scene, as well as some of the moto specific features such as active display. The specs just worry me a tad bit when I put it up against something like a G2 which is in the same price range. Many say the specs on this phone are not a indicator of performance, and I actually like the feeling of the Moto X compared to all the other phones I've tried. So should I just throw my spec worry to the wind?
This phone can easily do anything you want it to do. Hardware specs are not a key decision factor here. It is powerful enough.

Don't focus on the specs! I just left a Note 3 and switched to the Moto X ... Don't regret it one bit!
Tapatalked via my moto x
I just did. Came from the HTC One about a week ago and no regrets! No difference in performance on daily tasks and Active Display is the best new feature I've seen in a long time. I did go with the Developer Edition though.
Maybe read the 20 other similar threads....lots of opinions there that I'm sure many aren't going to repeat again.

I would stay its still worth it because the price has done down too. Its a great phone and runs fast and smooth but its also a good deal at almost half the price of the other flagships of its generation..
This has been the best device I have purchased in my four years on android phones. I've had the GS4 and HTC one and this phone IMHO performs just as good if not better.
Sent from my XT1056 using Tapatalk
Don't focus on the spec's. Focus on how it performs. My X performs great. Despite having a Samsung Galaxy S4 in my drawer for work that I could stick my personal SIM in and use, I PURCHASED a Moto X Developer Edition for Verizon in early November (two days before the first price drop, when there was no other option to get 32gig X on VZW).
Also keep in mind, if you plan to root, the Moto Maker and retail Verizon Moto X have a locked bootloader which can not be unlocked. While SlapMyMoto 1.0 works to root phones on 4.4, It has a few steps, including flashing older roms first, etc. In reading this thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2538896&page=69 there are reports that root can survive the 4.4.2 update, but it appears the "write protection disable" provided by MotoWpNoMo doesn't survive. Therefore the Developer Edition Moto X for Verizon, which can have its bootloader unlocked and is quicker/easier to root, might be worth looking at.
I have always been about the latest and greatest smart phone and wanted the best specs. When I got the X, I was skeptical. I am now a true believer in that the greatest specs are not needed. Go for the X.
Mine is arriving tomorrow con UK!!, I'm ****ing excited!!. I bought even know in Lenovo bought Motblablabla!!, I don't care I have MotoG and happy to have it so I don't wanna think tomorrow when I'll get MotoX between my hands on!!

Agree with all previous comments - I'm coming from a HTC ONE X, X+, ONE, and even a Sony Xperia ZL in regards to recent phones and the Moto X for some reason just makes me
The HTC ONE was really good in terms of Android phones and the build quality is still impressive. However, in terms of every day use, snappiness, battery life, integration of core services - the Moto X is nearly perfect (in regards to today's phones). Things can be always improved on any phone (screen if you need text to be razor sharp / camera if you are a vampire that only takes pics at night), but considering all the promos and the decent support from Motorola to keep their customers happy - it's worth taking the risk and seeing if you like it (not to mention you can always return it)!
There is paranoia from people regarding the Lenovo deal - who cares. I'm in the tech industry and will probably have a new phone next year anyways. If the Moto X2 is awesome I'll buy it even if it's owned by Lenovo. If something else is better, then they'll get my business. Who cares - just enjoy what we have now that is awesome...and that awesomeness is the Moto X.
Note: I was not paid by Moto to reply LOL
Buy the Moto X
I bought two Moto X's and can say unequivocally that they are the best phones I've ever had - and I've had cell phones from the very beginning. Don't focus on the specs - focus on the user experience. The size, performance, battery life and feature makes the X a first-rate product.
Plus, building it on MotoMaker is really cool.
I say do it unless you can hold out til the end of Summer for the "X2" lol. I left the N5 for this when I got in on a promo for it over the holidays. This is my favorite Android phone so far and I've had a lot! Nexus S, Galaxy S2, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S3, HTC One, Nexus 5, and probably others I am forgetting lol. The extra features like Active Display, Touchless Controls, and "Drive Mode" are super cool. This phone performs just fine given the "midrange" specs and the fact I customized the colors to my liking makes me like it even more.
I love my moto x and believe that it's worth the money to purchase outright without a contract. With a family of 5, I've had a LOT of "flagship" phones. After receiving my Moto X, I'm thinking about giving my S4 to my 14yr. old son and buying another Moto X for my business line.
I'm debating the moto x too...I might need a new phone cause mine is bricked but i cant help and think a new generation of phones are coming out soon
Best phone I have owned. Very snappy. Love all the extras, like twist to open camera - no more tapping away to get a picture.

My dev edition Moto x is on the truck for delivery. Selling my Droid maxx (4.4 unrooted).
Gonna miss the battery life, would have got a dev edition maxx if they were in stock. But I lived with a galaxy nexus for 2 years so should be good with the X.
The droid is the same hardware with a bigger screen (same resolution, higher PPI on the moto x = sharper images without having to stretch to reach the corners), so I know I'm gonna love the experience, with the added bonus of being able to root no matter what update they send out.
Stock rom and xposed is the sweet spot on these devices!
I grabbed the Dev edition during that $100 off/1 hour promo ... Had the Note 3 at the time and thought that the x would be a 14 day experiment. A week later I listed my N3 on Swappa! Loving the x!!

I ditched my Note 3 for the GSM DE. I'm not regretting it. The Moto X has proven to me that thoughtful engineering (both hardware and software) beats anything that is the result of competition in the "spec wars".

Of course 'within reason'. If you physically fry your phone cause you rooted and did such: they're not going to warranty the physical damage. However if it's software like in the simple case where it bootloops over a single value recursive value then they're not going to be as adamant in denying you if you own the DE phone. Unlike the case with returns where you're forwarded a code: you'll simply send in the phone and wait for repairs like typical cases with phone repairs.

wont taxes vary by location? Example, PA has 6% sales taxes, where DE has 0%.
Web site says $379.99 * Taxes and shipping charges may apply. At one time (back when I got my X Dev Ed) moto did have free shipping on orders above a certain amount, and it was posted on their web site. Its not posted now, so I'm not sure if they still have it.
I got rid of my Note 3 for the GSM DE as well. I never regret that decision.

Moto were giving $70 discount for the moto x so it came to $379 + taxes and shipping extra.. This price was 32gb of the GSM model as well as the developer edition. Now there is no offer.
So its official new version is Lollipop. New nexus 6 is what was leaked (Shamu).

It will be enough for me. It'll keep the cost down (hopefully.) I hope that it has active notifications. I'm quite found of that feature. Could live without it if need be. I'm thinking more along the lines of rooting and bootloader unlocking. Likely that won't be possible with the Turbo. If I'm paying outright for a phone it's not gonna be ~$700 and locked down like Fort Knox!

Its officially coming to VZW which is unheard of. I think even though the nexus has a slightly smaller battery, the unlockable BL is enough to boost it over the Turbo.
http://www.droid-life.com/2014/10/1...-t-mobile-sprint-and-us-cellular-in-november/
The 64gb option is nice. I also prefer the Nexus' shape to the Turbo. Droid Turbo will probably be $700 like the Maxx was.
If there was a way to get the moto stuff on the nexus, ie. Touchless and active display, then I'm in, since it is unlocked. If the Turbo can be unlocked then that is the one I go for since I still have an upgrade available. Put this Droid Maxx on eBay because the wife likes her OG Moto X more. That is months down the road, probably something to consider in 6 months when the dust settles. Hopefully by then xposed will run on art and somebody found a way to unlock the bootloader. Until then, this Droid Maxx is a beast of a phone and I'll continue to lurk in the 2014 Moto X forums and secretly laugh at their locked bootloader and a joke for battery life. 3500 mAH baby!!!!

Very nice. Looks like it will be part of Lollipop. Wonder if they ripped off Motorola's twist to launch camera feature before handing the company over to Lenovo also.

So I'm assuming these are the two big phones that are in the spotlight at the moment. Both have their pros and cons, one gains what the other one lacks and vice versa. Which do you believe is the superior device?
Both contain the Snapdragon 810, 3GB RAM and a Quad HD screen so they should be virtually the same, performance wise.
Pros of Nexus 6p:
Android M right right out of the box
Pure Android experience with the quickest updates (we know how long other brands take to update)
Finger print scanner
USB type C
Cheaper price
Very clear AMOLED display
Unlockable bootloader
Pros of Droid Turbo 2:
"Shatterproof Display"
Micro SD card (finally!)
Moto Maker (ability to customize your phone)
Larger battery
Flash on the front facing camera (pretty cool)
Wireless charging
Specs based on personal preference:
Screen size(5.7 on the 6p vs. 5.4 on the DT2)
Camera (21 MP on the DT2 vs. 12.3 MP on the 6p)
POLED(which everyone seems to be complaining about) on the DT2 vs. AMOLED on the 6p
The locked bootloader on the Turbo 2 has me nervous because I took a gamble with the original Turbo and, luckily, we ended up getting a decent way of rooting the phone; I don't know if I can take that risk again. Not only that, but Motorola really broke our trust with its claims of the original Turbo getting lollipop "before the end of 2014". What a joke that was. All we felt were pain and broken promises.
I do miss having an external SD card so that is the one thing that is leaning me towards the Turbo 2, but I wish they could just take the best qualities of both phones to make the ultimate superphone.
Which do you think is the superior device?
Sent from my XT1254 using XDA Free mobile app
Superior, 6p hands down. Outside of the battery and possibly the camera the 6p beats the Turbo2 in most measurable areas, including portability and unlock-ability.
For me I am looking for a device with a very large battery, so this is at the top of my list. I also still have a 2 year contract so with the subsidy I am hoping it will be a reasonable price.
That all depends on the display. I need to see one in person to make sure the display will be good for me as I have also seen a lot of mixed reviews, mostly negative.
How is the 6p better for portability? The turbo 2 is physically smaller, which means more portable to me.
Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
He probably means rooting/roming.
Or between carriers. Turbo 2 being VZW exclusive, even if it gets unlocked BL (unlikely!) ever, probably minimal dev support.
The big downfall, personal to me, of the 6P is size. I just dont want a phone that large.
I love my current Turbo. just not convinced this is enough of a spec bump to upgrade though. will have to see it in person I guess

Just look for the Moto X Force, is the international version of the Turbo 2.
I wanted the nexus 6p. But I dont have almost 700 bucks for the 64gb plus the insurance. Me and my gf just switched from T-Mobile to Verizon. I choose the droid turbo 2. I've never had a droid device before. It seems nice and I don't need a case on my phone since the screen won't shatter. Plus Verizon gave me 300 dollars for a trade in. Half went to my droid turbo 2 and the other half went to my gfs note 5. But the payments are much easier to do then to come up with almost 700 up front for a phone.
