1
00:00:00,199 --> 00:00:06,560
does it seem like every phone manufacturer has a wicked case of

2
00:00:03,639 --> 00:00:10,840
electronic anorexia we get these hyper thin phones that seem content to spend

3
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:15,280
all day measuring themselves on a scale and admiring themselves in the mirror

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:21,720
and maybe some people find that sexy but you know what I see insecurity weakness

5
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:26,480
and a lack of stamina none of which makes for a good night in the sorry what

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:30,880
were we talking about uh right back on track um part two of our triple curved

7
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:36,120
monitor surround is coming soon so make sure you're subscribed to catch that

8
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:38,719
curvy is beautiful and on that note the

9
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:43,559
Droid Turbo can turbo my Droid all night long if you know what I

10
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:46,120
mean I I mean it's thicker than most

11
00:00:43,559 --> 00:00:50,920
flagship mobile devices cuz it's got you know a

12
00:00:47,039 --> 00:00:52,440
big internal battery so at night time

13
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:56,240
the phone is still running that's what I meant by the all night long I mean what

14
00:00:54,600 --> 00:01:01,359
did you think

15
00:01:01,359 --> 00:01:08,320
The Cooler Master nepton 240m features an exclusive pump design and their new

16
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:12,720
silencio fans to provide impressive near silent performance click now to learn

17
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:17,799
more so we'll kick things off with specs picture in your mind's eye what the

18
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:20,119
ballist smartphone specs might be for a

19
00:01:17,799 --> 00:01:25,920
moment basically that a top-of-the line Snapdragon 805 adreno 420 GPU 3 gigs of

20
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:31,240
RAM a 5.2in AMOLED Quad HD display covered in Gorilla Glass 3 32 or 64 gigs

21
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:36,840
of internal storage Wireless charging AC Wireless internal and exterior Nano

22
00:01:34,079 --> 00:01:41,759
coating for Splash resistance and a 3900 mAh battery I'm sorry lonus what did you

23
00:01:39,799 --> 00:01:46,079
just say this thing has just about enough battery capacity to power itself

24
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:50,520
and act as a battery bank for my buddy's iPhone yeah yeah I did but calm yourself

25
00:01:48,759 --> 00:01:54,920
down I'll talk more about it later let's do the quick physical overview first at

26
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:59,520
the back we find the 21 megapix still camera that also records Ultra HD at 24

27
00:01:57,119 --> 00:02:04,159
FPS with its super bright dual flashes a motor a logo and one of the most

28
00:02:01,799 --> 00:02:08,119
satisfying material choices that I've ever encountered on a phone I mean

29
00:02:05,799 --> 00:02:12,239
gorilla glass aluminum unibody blah blah blah blah blah the Droid Turbo's

30
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:17,239
ballistic nylon doesn't do as much as I expected to improve grippiness but it's

31
00:02:14,519 --> 00:02:20,680
something different it looks and feels amazing in the hand and I was even able

32
00:02:18,920 --> 00:02:23,680
to clean the pasta sauce that my 2-year-old spilled on it without too

33
00:02:22,519 --> 00:02:28,040
much effort seriously I could have killed him though anyway on the left we

34
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:32,360
got nothing on the bottom micro USB and on the right the well-positioned but

35
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:36,599
slightly mushy lock button and volume rocker that doubles as a nano SIM tray

36
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:40,400
and then finally on the top a 3 and 12 mm Jack I actually prefer this position

37
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:46,040
makes it a little easier to sort of pull the phone out of your pocket and look at something without getting it caught on

38
00:02:43,159 --> 00:02:51,360
stuff which leads us around to the front the mono speaker does face forward and

39
00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:55,879
it's loud enough but sound quality is very unexceptional fortunately the

40
00:02:53,879 --> 00:03:00,640
screen is a different story now I criticized LG's choice of a Quad HD

41
00:02:58,319 --> 00:03:04,799
display in the G3 because I don't think the minuscule Improvement in display

42
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:10,319
sharpness was worth the lackluster contrast in that case and I still don't

43
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:15,040
think a 2560 x440 display is necessary on a smartphone but the AMOLED display

44
00:03:12,920 --> 00:03:19,640
that Motorola opted for enables that cool notification system where only the

45
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:24,840
necessary pixels are illuminated for previews and gives the Droid Turbo

46
00:03:22,319 --> 00:03:30,640
display rocking contrast that makes it look great even outside it's not perfect

47
00:03:28,920 --> 00:03:34,080
I wish that minimum brightness was actually lower for nighttime viewing

48
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:38,959
there's more motion blur than I'd like when scrolling and there's a noticeably

49
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:42,959
cool color shift when you look at it off axis but after the first couple of days

50
00:03:41,159 --> 00:03:46,640
I pretty much stopped noticing most of those things something I didn't stop

51
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:50,799
noticing was the fact that this is the first Android phone that I've used in

52
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:55,000
over a year with dedicated capacitive buttons I don't generally have a

53
00:03:52,959 --> 00:03:59,040
preference either way but I did find that with this phone holding it in

54
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:03,640
landscape mode was a little tricky without ing those buttons so just watch

55
00:04:01,439 --> 00:04:08,280
out for that if you're picking one up so let's get into actually using it first

56
00:04:05,519 --> 00:04:12,040
the big question isn't it heavy line is with that massive battery in it and the

57
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:16,560
answer is no the curvature of the back feels very natural in my hand and the

58
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:21,400
weight gives it a satisfying premium feel without making it feel brick like

59
00:04:19,280 --> 00:04:26,199
okay then line of second question do you actually get 48 hours out of it like

60
00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:31,360
Motorola claims cuz that'd be sick dog and the answer here is also no and I'll

61
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:36,440
throw in a d be ridiculous for good measure I usually ended up with 35 to

62
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:40,280
40% left at the end of the day and power users will still be able to drain their

63
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:44,080
battery in a single day by doing things like playing games or navigating with

64
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:48,919
GPS I'm even sitting here writing this at the end of a workday I'll be at a

65
00:04:45,759 --> 00:04:51,120
fairly long workday with a mere 25% left

66
00:04:48,919 --> 00:04:56,199
which is obviously not enough to make it through another day tomorrow but while

67
00:04:54,080 --> 00:05:01,000
2day battery was a silly claim for Motorola to make the extra capacity of

68
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:05,520
the droid turbo has changed the way that I use my phone for a single day and

69
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:11,199
switching back to something with a more normal battery size will be extremely

70
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:15,800
difficult I did alter the default twom minute backlight time out to 1 minute

71
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:20,280
that was just showing off but I was able to keep all my features on Crank Dat

72
00:05:17,919 --> 00:05:24,160
brightness browse whenever I was bored and I didn't even bother carrying a

73
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:28,720
battery Bank while I was using it between the chi Wireless stock in my car

74
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:33,160
and motorol is included 12volt fast charger that can store this much battery

75
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:37,560
in this much time here's a graph I didn't add it to my script in a pinch

76
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:43,520
even though I'm still plugging into a 1 amp charger every night to preserve the

77
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:46,199
lifetime of my battery I felt liberated

78
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:51,919
somehow because I'm not thinking about my battery all the time onto software

79
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:56,520
there's not much to say it's Motorola's skin so you get pretty much bone stock

80
00:05:54,360 --> 00:06:00,520
Android apparently there's a lollipop upgrade coming very soon which is good

81
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:05,280
because art run time is on KitKat on this phone and then it's got a couple of

82
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:09,599
moto tweaks including their wave to preview your notifications their slide

83
00:06:07,599 --> 00:06:12,520
to unlock there's somewhat useless voice control that I found routed voice

84
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:17,199
commands through Google Now more often than not which is fine I guess and there

85
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:20,520
you go it's Moto skin one thing I noticed although it's not directly

86
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:24,400
related to software was that whichever keyboard I was using stock Android or

87
00:06:22,199 --> 00:06:28,560
swift key I am bloody accurate on the Droid Turbo the bottom is a little

88
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:33,720
pointy resting on my pinkies but the chin bar size is pretty much perfect to

89
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:39,080
me and I can fly on this thing which leads us to the most negative part of

90
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:40,880
this review the camera is wicked fast to

91
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:46,319
open with one of the most reliable gesture launch mechanisms I have ever

92
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:49,240
seen and it takes fantastic 20 plus

93
00:06:46,319 --> 00:06:54,039
megapixel Stills like this one of my cat Rumble with Gorgeous shallow depth of

94
00:06:51,479 --> 00:06:58,160
field but the problem is in the word stills moving subjects whether you're

95
00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:02,360
trying to capture a photo with the extremely slow shutter

96
00:07:00,039 --> 00:07:07,639
or a video with the nonoptical stabilized jittery feeling motion that

97
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:11,800
doesn't seem to be avoidable just don't work that well for this phone I tried a

98
00:07:09,879 --> 00:07:15,960
couple alternate camera apps and neither of them helped so all I can do at this

99
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:19,960
point is hope that Motorola fixes this with the lollipop update or shortly

100
00:07:17,919 --> 00:07:24,879
thereafter because otherwise it's going to be a serious Mark against this phone

101
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:30,800
for a lot of people which leads us to the conclusion for this video it amazes

102
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:35,280
me that I even have to applaud the technological innovation of put a bigger

103
00:07:33,319 --> 00:07:39,919
freaking battery in it but that's what I'm going to do I don't want a lighter

104
00:07:37,319 --> 00:07:44,479
phone my fingers aren't made of you know limp spaghetti I want one that works

105
00:07:42,759 --> 00:07:49,599
better and for longer and that's what the Droid Turbo does and is why in spite

106
00:07:47,199 --> 00:07:54,759
of its camera it's earned its place as my new daily driver until further notice

107
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:59,120
this is a great phone and my only other big complaint is availability it's

108
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:03,639
Verizon exclusive in the US right now and while the Verizon apps and

109
00:08:00,759 --> 00:08:08,319
occasional hey your sim isn't Verizon message are easy to ignore you just

110
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:12,479
plain can't buy one in the US without a Verizon contract right now which is

111
00:08:09,919 --> 00:08:16,199
going to hurt thirdparty motor support if you're into rooting your phones and

112
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:20,960
installing custom roms and whatnot although this may be less of an issue

113
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:27,080
outside of the US where there's a Max skew that you know may be possible to

114
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:29,960
purchase depending on the region so I think that's pretty much it guys thank
