The mobile company has released a good line of Moto phones which earned praises from reviewers. Among the series of Motorola phones, two models have stood-out and are being pitted with each other. Despite the incredible similarities of the Moto X and the Droid Turbo, the two devices at the same time are very different devices. It is good to point out the similarities and differences of the two and might lead to discovering which is better and which one is right for different consumers.

Style and Design

Obviously, the Droid Turbo will not win in this category over the Moto X. With the former sporting a more utilitarian look, having a rubber casing and nylon backing which is said to provide better grip, many say that it's not exactly the best building materials. Not to forget the device being thicker and heavier.

On the other hand, the Moto X is dubbed to be among the best-designed Android smartphones to grace the market. Another plus on this device is its customisable selection of wooden, leather and soft-touch plastic materials. Owners can take advantage of the design-your-own Moto X feature which can be accessed online, CNN Money reports.

Screen, Performance and Software

The Droid Turbo has a 5.2-inch display (same as Moto X) and has an impressive 2560x1440 high resolution panel or about 565 pixels per inch which happens to be quite a lot. Compared to the 424ppi 1080 display of the Moto X, the Droid turbo appears to have a sharper and crisper display.

Based on Ars Technica, the performance category will definitely set the Droid Turbo far ahead from the Moto X. It is equipped with the Snapdragon 805 SoC with an Adreno 420 GPU. The 805 utilizes four Krait 450 CPU cores that can reach a whopping 2.7GHz speed. But it will also be good to note that the Turbo's high-res screen might eat up some of the performance boost from the GPU.

The two devices both use Android as its platform. However, the Verizon-exclusive Droid Turbo is packed with more "bloatware", but users have the option to disable the apps that they don't need.

Camera and Battery

The Droid Turbo is equipped with a 21-megapixel camera while the Moto X has a 13-megapixel camera, both provide sharp photos but both doesn't perform well in low light.

Battery wise, the Droid can boast about its massive battery which according to Verizon can last up to two full days. It also comes with a turbo charger that boosts the battery in just 15-minutes of charging. Unlike the battery life of Moto X which can only last through an entire day of minimal usage.

Finally, the Droid Turbo starts at US$200 on Verizon contract or US$600 unsubsidised, while the Moto X starts at US$100 on contract or US$500 unsubsidised.
