Today Verizon and Motorola debuted the Droid Turbo, a $199 5.2-inch-screened device with a 21 megapixel camera, Android KitKit (not Lollipop), 32 GB to 64 GB storage, and a quad-core 2.7 GHz processor. The device will start shipping on October 30.
The Turbo’s big unveiling was met with little suspense this morning — details of the new handset were heavily leaked for weeks — however, the specs are more impressive than recent rumors suggested.

Motorola says the handset’s battery lasts for two days straight on a single charge — and that’s with constant use. The Turbo gets its name from a rapid charge feature that enables users to get “up to 8 hours of use” after plugging the device in for 15 minutes.
