![Warsia Protective Case] with Screen Protector[Military [G]rade Drop Tested] Heavy-Duty Tough Rugged Shockproof for Motorola M](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71jLMRs-imL._AC_UL116_SR116,116_.jpg)
Here's my experience so far. I've had it for 4 days. My last phone was a Droid Razr Maxx HD. It was a dual core processor. I really like the Droid Turbo.
This thing is zippy. When you touch a button or control, it responds immediately. The startup time from off to fully operational takes about 25% of the time than it did for the Droid Razr. I have a better processor on my phone than I do on my laptop!
Ok, the battery: People have been complaining that the battery isn't lasting as long as the Motorola statements. The first day I had this I charged it completely. I was downloading all kinds of apps, tweaking settings, I turned on every Moto feature including the one where it listened to every word I said and waited like the most well trained dog on the planet just to hear one phrase. (Let me just say that I find that a little unsettling; I'm not big into conspiracy theories, nor am I highly paranoid, there's gotta be some folks out there that are worrying that Google is recording everything). Back to the battery: The battery last about 17 hours including when I was sleeping on the first day. Now, the second day, I turned off all the Moto features, disabled all the bloatware that got loaded by Motorola or Google or Verizon (whatever); now I was back to my daily routine. I am not a gamer. I do watch YouTube videos, I had to test my Chrome Cast. Read lots of emails and made a few phone calls and nitpicked a few settings. Bluetooth was off. Brightness on Auto. After 60.5 hours (2 Days, 12.5 hours) I still have 27% juice left. That includes two nights of sleep. Stats: 24% standby, 19% screen, 17% Wi-Fi, 10% Google Play Services, 10% Idle, 6% Android System, 6% Android OS, 5% Google Apps. The Droid Razr didn't do quite as well after 2 years. Maybe after 2 years the Droid Turbo will lose a little battery strength. Do I care if I can't take out the battery? Nope. The Razr wouldn't allow that either.
Charging: Wow! Yup Wow! I wasn't watching too close, but I swear it took less than 2 hours to go from less than 20% to full.
The screen is much larger, but I'm enjoying that because my reading glasses aren't always with me. I really don't notice much of a difference in picture quality. The video quality is nice.
I am really disappointed that there is no LED notification. What were ya thinkin' Moto!? I relied on that light. I had set email and text messages to be a different color. If the light was flashing green, I had a text. Now what do I get????? The screen gently displays a symbol from the notifying app every few seconds. I can't see that from an angle. Fail!
The new sensor across the top of the phone is a great feature. All I have to do is move my hand near it and it displays the status (time and notifications). No having to push the power button just to read the time or see if I have a text. I'm still leaving off the other feature of waving my hand to silence the phone. Don't know if I'll use it unless I find myself having more meetings.
I probably won't use Droid Zap. Sharing files instantly with others is not a big deal to me.
The camera quality is very good. I can select the focus area, tap the screen or push the volume button to take a picture. Haven't seen any drawbacks yet. I like that I can shake the phone and can be taking pictures in about 3 seconds!
The sound quality is on par with previous phones. No problems with the speaker phone even though the speaker is facing forward now. I tested to see if I was cutting out off others or they were interrupting me. No issues.
I have the nylon ballistic case. It is slippery. Solved by putting sticky dots on the back.
Stop buying screen protectors. My Razr never had one; not a scratch on it. Gorilla glass solved that problem. You might as well buy one of those useless antenna stickers you put on your battery to improve reception while your at it.
Pros:
Battery (great time between charges)
Charging (phenomenal)
Performance (fantastic)
Screen size and quality (good)
Sound (good)
Camera (good)
Cons:
No LED notification light (sadly shaking my head)
I can still see smudges on the screen (ha, good luck with that)
Not fully waterproof (not a big deal)

What is an unlocked phone?An unlocked phone is a device that is not bound to any carrier or plan. It allows you to choose your phone first and your carrier second. Upon selecting a plan, simply insert the carrier's SIM card into the phone and you're ready to go. If you decide you want to change carriers down the road or want to take an international trip, it's as simple as replacing your existing SIM card with a new SIM and activating your new plan. |
What are the benefits of an unlocked phone?Freedom: Choose the carrier with the best service or price. If you find a better deal later, you have the ability to change to a different carrier. Travel: Take your phone internationally and use the carrier of your choice. It's as easy as inserting an active SIM card. Selection: Choose the phone with the features you want, whether or not your carrier sells it, and get more service options without a contract. |
How do I set up my unlocked phone?The first thing you’ll need is a SIM card for your desired carrier. When activated, the SIM card will let your phone connect to your carrier’s network. If you decide to upgrade to a newer unlocked phone in the future, you can easily remove the SIM card from your old phone and put it in your new phone—just make sure you get the right size of SIM card (nano, micro, or standard) for your phone. If you want to use your phone while traveling internationally, you can easily buy a SIM card for a carrier that operates where you’re traveling. As long as it’s activated, you can just swap SIM cards when you arrive at your destination. |

Okay until it dies.
I bought two of these. Within a year. I now have two bricks. The first one was my fault, I dropped it and broke the screen. Ordered a replacement screen and heated it up, unglued everything. replaced the screen and the thing died a month later anyway. These phones are the hardest to repair EVER. The last one died in my pocket while I slept. Not dropped, didn't go swimming with it, just died. Do not buy this if you live in a humid environment. You do not need to get them wet, condensation alone will kill them. This is a desert phone. I still owe about a hundred bucks on the first one and have to buy a phone, but it will not be an XT1254.P.S. The camera is too slow for nature shots.
