We are 48 hours from two of Motorola's latest devices to be up for announcement and/or pre-order. The Nexus 6 is a 6 inch (technically 5.96) phablet with a quad core 2.7 Ghz Snapdragon 805 processor with 3GBs of Ram, 3200 mAh battery, 13mp camera, and the option of 32 and 64 GB of memory, running stock android 5.0 Lollipop, and full unlocked to be used on all US Carriers (Verizon, Sprint, AT&T, T-Mobile, and US Cellular).

The Droid Turbo is also a Motorola device with a 5.2inch screen with a quad core 2.7 Ghz Snapdragon 805 processor with 3GBs of Ram, 3900 mAh, 21mp camera, 32 GB of memory, running 4.4.4 kit kat (expected to get upgraded to Lollipop soon), and available only through Verizon.

These are two impressive Motorola devices and really a tough choice for many to choose from. On one hand we finally have a motorola nexus while on the other hand a Droid device that finally have forward looking specs, vs previous droid devices that seemed to be trying to catch up.

So are you team Turbo or Team Nexus 6 and why?

Why couldn't the nexus 6 have a 5.2 inch screen. Why did they have to make it so big. Wwhhhhyyyyy!!!
Not on Verizon...
Team Note 4? Or dare I say...team IPhone 6.

I'm really biased against "Droid" devices after my experience years ago regarding how Verizon was with late and non-existent updates. I won't even get into the bloatware debate.

Are they still that way with their "Droid" devices? I can't imagine picking a "Droid" over a Nexus device.

Also the camera on the N6 is the same 6 lens Sony camera used on the OnePlus with OIS. I can't deny it.

Team NEXUS.

Im on the clock.... I have a 90% idea where I am going to go but will entertain tomorrows announcement from Verizon.

Plus I will continue to update this thread with reviews and info as it is available for those still on the fence.

Right now we know the following:

6 inch vs 5.2
3200 mAh vs 3900 mAh
13 mp vs 21 (tomorrow will either confirm or dispute this)
5.0 Lollipop with swift updates vs 4.4.4 with an update to 5.0 in the future
All US carrier vs Verizon only
On screen buttons vs capacitive
32 & 64 GB version vs 32 GB version
Come in blue and white vs red and black


We will update this thread tomorrow with the latest news.

still on the edge with this.. if the nexus 6 had the bigger battery it would help matters .. anxious to see real camera shots from both . i actually like some of the moto apps

The capacitive buttons ruin the Droid Turbo for me. I have to go with the Nexus 6, which is also built by Motorola, Yea!

Vzw really played us all with the OG droid (twas a nexus lets be honest lol) and here's how. That phone was SOOOOOOOOOOOOO popular and it was the original 'DROOOIIIID" lol remember that notification sound lmao. They saw the light and ran with it, still running with it apparently with half of merchandise branded Droid smh. For some reason ppl are still buying into this Droid crap, and yes its crap now that they frown upon rooting, romming, and unlocking, which were ALL perfectly acceptable on the OG. But now that the brand is up and going, everyone wants to throw a hissy fit... but thats jus IMO

I'm on the fence. Currently have the HTC Droid DNA. Yes it has bloat but at least I was able to disable it. I've been told that the last 2 Droids did not come with as much preloaded crap on them. I'm drawn to the look and the pure Android of the Nexus 6 but the 5.2 size seems like it would be the sweet spot for me and the Motorola software sounds interesting. I haven't owned a Motorola before. A big factor for me will be the battery drain. In theory, the Droid Turbo sounds like it will last forever but so long as my phone makes it through the day, (without having to sweat out the last few hrs...) I'm happy. Either way, I'm excited and looking forward to making the choice.

Battery life on the Nexus 6 is my determining factor.

on the move..

I'll take all of the current turbo specifications, but just increased to 64 gigabytes rather than 32, and give me lollipops out of the gate. Otherwise the turbo is absolutely perfect. Performs even as good as the Droid Maxx or better I'm quite satisfied. If it performs up to par of a Note 4, I'll be completely ecstatic. If the turbo came unlocked, or if it gets broken or rooted I wouldn't have any need for the Nexus at all.

If on the other hand, the Nexus came in a somewhat smaller form factor, even perhaps 5.5 inches of screen size rather than 6, and also included the larger battery I would probably have gone for the Nexus over the turbo. And in that case, I would opt for the 64 gigabyte versus 32.

 

[popcenator]

The Turbo is a great size. The same size screen as the G2. It's comfortable in the hand while still a good size. But anymore I find myself wishing for a note sized device because I read a lot of forums, watch videos, or read articles.. I feel like I'm ready for a large device. The only thing I'm a little nervous about is the battery powering that huge screen. I don't want to be plugging it in halfway through the day. Anymore, I just want stock or close to stock Android, good battery life, and good reception. Motorola does well in with two of those, we'll see about the third.

I dream of easy two day battery life, which we know the Turbo will deliver.

on the move..
