DISPLAY Motorola DROID TURBO 64 GB
Display Type OLED display
Display Technology Quad HD Super AMOLED
Screen Size (Display Size) 5.2" Better than 60 % of phones rated.
Screen Resolution (Display Resolution) 2560 x 1440 pixels Better than 96 % of phones rated.
Display Format QHD
Pixel Density 565 ppi Better than 98 % of phones rated.
Display Protection (Screen Protector) Corning Gorilla Glass 3 (scratch resistant glass)

The screen size reaches 5.2" inches. Smaller phone displays are not necessarily a disadvantage. They are easier to use with one hand. However, displays of these sizes don't provide the same experience when watching videos or playing games, so they're better suited for less demanding users. It means, if you're a basic user and you don't expect to use your phone for activities like watching videos or playing games on regular basis, this size is perfectly adequate. Owing to OLED technology, the display offers a true representation of colours, especially black. The resulting contrast is significantly higher and colours appear more vivid. OLED technology is now part of most smartphones, while LCD displays are becoming a thing of the past in mobile phones. OLED displays also have lower power consumption compared to LCD technology.

Display Resolution of Motorola DROID TURBO 64 GB is 2560 x 1440 pixels. A higher display resolution is a prerequisite for a sharper image. The standard for mid-range phones today is a Full HD resolution of 1920 × 1080 px. Cheaper phones, which usually have a smaller diagonal, have an HD resolution of 1280 × 720 px. Smaller resolutions can only be found in older models. Best phones, on the other hand, have a 4K resolution of 3840 x 2160 px. If you want a perfect picture, focus on pixel density in addition to resolution. This number indicates how sharp the image will be. Best phones today have a display fineness of 450 ppi or higher, but the today´s average is around 350-400 ppi. That should be enough for you to enjoy a fine and sharp image. This model has a pixel density of 565 ppi.

PROCESSOR Motorola DROID TURBO 64 GB
Processor Type (CPU) Qualcomm Snapdragon 805
Clock Speed 2.7 GHz Better than 92 % of phones rated.
Processor Core Qty Quad-core Worse than 57 % of phones rated.
Graphics System (GPU) Qualcomm ADRENO 420

The processor type of the Motorola DROID TURBO 64 GB is Qualcomm Snapdragon 805. The number of processor cores is 4. It is a number of cores that plays an important role in evaluating the performance of phone as it is responsible for computing operations. Smartphones already commonly have a core count of around 4 to 8. Multi-core processors can perform better and reduce the processing time of a request to a minimum, which is reflected in the responsiveness of the phone, e.g. in the speed of opening applications. Motorola DROID TURBO 64 GB is provided with processor´s frequency of 2.7 GHz. Normally today you will find this value between 1.8 and 2.8 GHz, and the higher the number, the faster the response of the phone. The processor frequency will thus be one of the important parameters if you are looking for a phone capable of managing several requests at once without major problems.

The processor also includes the graphics accelerator Qualcomm ADRENO 420.

MEMORY Motorola DROID TURBO 64 GB
RAM 3 GB Better than 67 % of phones rated.
Internal Memory Size (Storage Capacity) 64 GB Better than 75 % of phones rated.

The phone is provided with an internal memory of 64 GB. Internal storage capacity is often a key parameter, as it determines how many files, photos, apps and more your phone can store. If you expect to store low thousands of photos, some songs, few movies or games on your phone, then you can easily get by with a medium memory size. Phones with this size of memory also has the advantage of a lower purchase price. If you don't plan to use your phone for 4K video creation and storage, using hundreds of apps etc. then you should feel free to go with this memory size. Fortunately, manufacturers nowadays think of all users and therefore offer phone models with different memory sizes so that everyone can choose what suits them.

Operating memory significantly affects the performance of the entire phone. Motorola DROID TURBO 64 GB has an operating memory of 3 GB. Phones with less than 4 GB of RAM are better suited for undemanding users who use phone more for basic needs and some essential applications only. But if you are a heavy user, reach for at least 6 to 8 GB of RAM, which is the standard today, or 12 GB for the really demanding ones.

FRONT CAMERA
Number of Front Cameras 1
Sensor Resolution (Front) 2 Megapixel Worse than 81 % of phones rated.

The rear camera of the Motorola DROID TURBO 64 GB has only one lens. Single lens is more typical for older phones or lower-end phones with lower quality cameras. The rear cameras of modern phones nowadays are usually equipped with two, three and sometimes even five rear camera lenses. A high resolution lens alone does not necessarily mean high quality photos. The main lens in this has a resolution of 21 Megapixel. However, if you are looking for perfect photos, in addition to resolution, don't forget to focus on at other parameters such as lens aperture or pixel size. Luminance is one of the main factors determining the quality of a photograph. Commonly today, this value ranges between F/1.8 and F/2.2. However, best photomobiles have an aperture of up to F/1.2. Value indicates how much light passes through the sensor and the lower it is, the better the quality of the photos. Main lens here is equipped with F/2.0.

Digital zoom in this case offers zooming up to 4x. Of course, the higher the lens value, the more distant object can be zoomed in. Nonetheless, the disadvantage of digital zoom is that the quality and sharpness of photo deteriorates when using it.

Front camera
The front camera of phone Motorola DROID TURBO 64 GB has one lens. This number of lenses is standard on most smartphones nowadays. The resolution of main lens reaches 2 Megapixel. Again, it should be noted that resolution is not the only factor affecting the quality of the front camera photo.

BATTERY AND CHARGING Motorola DROID TURBO 64 GB
Battery Capacity (Battery Size) 3900 mAh Better than 81 % of phones rated.
Wireless Charging Yes Better than 91 % of phones rated.
Standby Time 675 hours Better than 91 % of phones rated.
Run Time Details Standby: up to 675 hrs
Mixed usage: up to 48 hrs

The battery size of Motorola DROID TURBO 64 GB is 3900 mAh. Nevertheless, battery capacity is not the only factor that affects the phone's battery life. For example - the size of the display, the performance of the processor, the use of data functions and, of course, the intensity of use of phone in general all have a significant impact on battery life. Standard for most smartphones today is a battery capacity of around 4500 to 5000 mAH. Phones with this battery size usually guarantee a phone life of at least 1 day. Older or cheaper smartphone models can then reach battery capacities typically around 2500 mAH and below. With this capacity, you may find that if you use your phone heavily, you may need to recharge your phone during the day.

Standby time is 675 hours. The value indicates how long your phone will last on a single charge when you are not actively using it. Many users will also welcome the wireless charging feature. Wireless charging keeps your phone from overheating and also protects the connector from wear and tear. On the other hand, it does cause some power loss.
