Owner's manual

Q: I thought 2-year contract subsidies were going away?

A: Best buy is the only place I know that has a two year contract with a free phone or for a dollar you just have to wait for the deal to come up

Q: Is this phone locked, or can I use it with another carrier?

A: I am currently running with T-Mobile. Be careful to stay with 5.1 when buying and you'll be safe. Only downside is the message you get when booting up. " sim card is not Verizon sim card" You can Google and will see that Motorola has not sim locked it. Works with all providers. Update to 6.0 will need some extra work. Took me some days to get it up and running, which included the T-Mobile tech hotline and dozens of restarts.

Q: Why is Best Buy price cheaper with a 2year contract instead of getting phone from verizon/motorola?

A: This is why it is good to shop around. If you are within 14 days of signing the contract, you can cancel it. I recommend doing that and going with Best Buy. I have had my phone service with them for over 2 years and love it. Typically though, 3rd party vendors are cheaper. Best Buy has a protection plan too if you want to go with that. I personally will never insure with the Geek Squad again but it is a great option if you want it.

Q: can u send videos with the new droid turbo 2

A: Yes. As with any Android phone, there are several ways to send videos. You can emailed files up to 25MB via Gmail. You can text a very small, and low quality video. If you are trying to send an especially large video file, you can use any number of cloud storage apps, generally Google Drive and share the link. There are also local options, such as bluetooth file sharing or WiFi direct sharing.

Q: Will this phone be available for shipping anytime soon?

A: undefined

Q: Does the Droid Turbo 2 have an infrared sensor that allows it to be used as a remote control? Also, has the issue with the green line been resolved?

A: Yes, it does have infrared.

Q: TODAY I RECEIVED A BESTBUY OFFER FOR THE TURBO 2 LTE FOR $319 INCLUDING A $200 BEST BUY GIFT CARD. IS THIS AN OUTRITE SALE OR IS A SERVICE CONTRACT PART OF THE DEAL? CAN I OPT TO CHANGE TO TOTAL WIRELESS WHO IS A VERIZON COMPATABLE?

A: undefined

Q: If I purchase a Motorola Droid Turbo 2 - there is a $200 Best Buy E-Gift Card. Can that be used towards the purchase a Cell phone for another family member?

A: undefined

Fast-Cool Camera Features-Battery
Pros-Battery, camera features, speed, SD card expansion, and quick charge. Cons- bulky(width), loss of OS convenience features offered by other brands. I guess I am a heavy user, often on the phone every couple of minutes researching issues, calendar checks, checking and responding to messages and emails. Wireless display via mirroring or Chromecast are important features for me. During the last year I have owned and used the iPhone 6, Note 4, S6 Edge. Each is a great phone but lacking battery stamina. I don't need two days of battery, getting through one day without charging would be great. I have had the phone a couple of days so I can only say the battery life is better than those listed. I gave this phone 5 stars but with every phone there is some give and take. I had the iPhone 6 but its OS lacks so many convenience features I took for granted with Samsung. PROCESSOR SPEED This phone is very fast and applications and movies download very quickly. It moves between apps very quickly, too. Its wireless display with the Microsoft adapter and Chromecast are very stable and no lag. BATTERY As mentioned, the battery is better than most. There is a battery saving mode and I installed a 3rd party app to close apps running in the background and one to prevent access to programs in sleep mode. I did not experience a loss of battery while in sleep mode, unlike my other android phones. The turbo charging works as described. CAMERA The picture quality seems to be very good and to take a picture you can touch anywhere on the screen or use the volume keys. However, it does not give you instant access to the photo gallery to view photos. I really like the front facing camera flash. Its a cool feature. BULKY The phone feels a bit bulky and it is wider than most phones. The volume keys are on the right side unlike most phones, I guess to accommodate the wider structure. OS INCONVENIENCE FEATURES My biggest gripe with the phone is the loss of OS convenience features that I have come to appreciate with Samsung and keeps me away from Apple. There is no quick app search feature and the settings search is virtually useless. I added a third party app search, which is great, but its not useful for settings search. The drop down menu is ok but you cant modify it. It does not offer a "close all" last used apps and you most close each individually. Its hit and miss which apps allow a quick/auto fill when using the keyboard. Verizon's messaging app is very good, but when completing forms on the internet or emailing, you must reenter frequently used terms, words or email addresses. The available emoticons are also far less than some other brands. These may seem like small issues, but in the aggregate, make for a sloppy presentation. Despite the OS criticisms, I do like the phone. Hopefully Motorola will refine its OS experience. STORAGE The 32 GB seems adequate. While the pre-installed apps can not be put on an SD card, there remains about 18 to 20 GBs available. Most of my apps can be accommodated on the SD card along with media files except Amazon movies. Google Play allows its movies to download to the SD card. I had about 16 GB available after adding my favorite apps, many of which must be stored on the internal drive. I include phone size and picture comparisons to my S6 Edge.

Great Phone
There are many great things about this phone. The screen is good but not as good as others. But you get the unbreakable screen at that cost. If you are not one to stare and pick at it then you will not notice a difference. The battery life is great it is very hard to find a way to kill it in one day unless you watch videos through the whole day on it. The phone is fast and has a clean UI. The turbo charger is crazy I plugged it in at 10% and 20 minutes later it was at 73%. The back can be slippery and make it hard to hold onto in one hand.
