Droid Turbo 2 and Droid Maxx 2 now available on Verizon

There might be some frustrations around Motorola and the Droid Turbo 2 and Droid Maxx 2, but the smartphone manufacturer and Verizon did one thing right: making both smartphones available the day after the announcement.

Yes folks, those interested can head on over to Verizon’s website and pick up a Droid Turbo 2 or Droid Maxx 2 immediately. One of the frustrations I have with Android manufacturers is that they’ll announce a smartphone and then consumers proceed to wait three months for an official launch. That’s not the case with the Verizon-Motorola partnership this time around, though!

As a quick refreshed, the Droid Turbo 2 is the more expensive option with a 5.4-inch 1440p AMOLED shatterproof display, a Snapdragon 810 processor, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, and a giant 3,760mAh battery said to last up to two full days. It’ll run you $624 outright or $26 a month for 24 months on a device payment plan. Those of you wanting to design your Droid Turbo 2 will have to buy through Verizon’s “Design Yours” listing, it seems.

Alternatively, there’s the Droid Maxx 2 with a 5.5-inch 1080p LCD display, a Snapdragon 615 chipset, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal memory, and a 3,630mAh battery, which is also rated for up to two days of life, though your mileage may vary. Unlike the Droid Turbo 2, it doesn’t have a shatterproof display, but it’s water resistant. It’s essentially a Moto X Play, and it’ll run you $384 outright or $16 per month on a payment plan.

Both models are running Android 5.1.1, but Verizon says that they will be upgraded to Android 6.0 some time in the future.
