Design
Looking at the design, DROID Turbo is not what you would call a beautiful phone instead of perfectly groomed aluminum frames, Turbo is more function over fashion and it is available in red and black the phone is made of Ballistic Nylon which is used to make the backpacks and suitcases, it is a very strong material thus it promises a very long life and without any fear of it falling a Matte finish of Kevlar which makes it feel and look premium, the threads of the ballistic Nylon are incredibly strong and very gripy. The phone is –Water resistance because it is covered by water repellent coating inwards with allows it to last up-to 1 minutes under 6-inches of water, though it doesn't look like Sony Xperia Z3 which can stay up-to 30 Minutes, the feature of water resistance helps when there is a sudden down pour and you really need to make a call.
The phone physically measures 146.5 x 73.3 x 10.6 mm weighing 169 grams having a QHD AMOLED display of 5.2-Inch with a resolution of 2,560 x 1,440 pixels and a super pixel density of 565ppi which is the highest pixel density up-to date. Viewing angles and contrast of the display are excellent as expected, with such a crisp display, contents looks pretty phenomenal, videos looks very brilliant but colors are not naturally accurate has you would see on high quality IPS LCD display
Above the display there is an earpiece, a loudspeaker and a 2 MP front facing camera. Additionally there are ambient light and the proximity sensor and one of the IR sensors. Below the screen there are three capacitive keys for navigating and the second IR sensor is located there to as well as the mouthpiece, Nothing is on the left of the phone, On the right side there is power lock key and the volume rocker, the nanoSIM trey is under removable volume rocker, a 3.5 mm audio jack is located on-top of the device with the microUSB port at the bottom of the device. At the back, 21 MP lens camera and dual-LED flash and the signature of Verizon and Droid branding. It is very unfortunate that the phone doesn't have stereo speakers; the single front facing speakers, which rest on-top of the device doesn't produce the best quality as those of other flagship phones like Nexus 6.
