I have had Motorola droids since they started to come out.. droid turbo 1 was durable last me 3 yes. I went to the droid turbo 2 and in 2 months a chip in the corner my plug to charge does not work..for what I paid this is the worse droid they have ever built and I call to get it replaced and the said my plug in is from abuse .. that's a sorry excuse .

    Garbage. The only saving grace about this phone is the shatterproof screen, which is good because it will make you want to throw it. I ordered one with a non-slip back...slips on everything. The battery likes to lie to you about it's actual charge, sometimes saying it's at 90% then POOF it randomly restarts itself and goes down to 10, if any. Oh and on that not it LOVES randomly restarting...unless you want to restart it, then it hangs on "Shutting down" for an hour. No gallery apps work. Thumbnails are black, and images won't display, and sometimes the whole app locks up entirely. Be it the stock gallery app or any gallery app on the store. The way the phone handles media players is bonkers. Sometimes when you unplug wired headphones the music keeps playing...sometimes it stops. It's GREAT if you love to keep guessing! Make a drinking game out of it! And the ringtones, even with headphones come through the external speaker (WTF is the point?!). Oh but that's not even the best part of the bizarre sound profiles. This neat little thing gives you "Do not disturb" settings so you don't get bugged unless by certain people. Guess how that works? BLOODY DOESN'T. I LOVE when my phone says "Do not disturb mode" and then RING A FREAKING DING it goes off full speaker volume in my quiet office while i have headphone in listening to podcasts! Great stuff! I'm so glad I have this phone so I can be embarrassed from scaring the whole office half to death! And man do I love that it likes to ask for permissions constantly. "I see you already said Facebook can have access to your gallery 37 times in the last 20 minutes...BUT LET ME ASK YOU AGAIN". Sometimes it just randomly changes permissions too! I gave Zedge permission to be used for ringtones, then one day I wake up and the phone decided it didn't want to any more! Good stuff! Buy this phone if you hate having hair and want to rip it all out.

Once you will get to know how to use it, you would love it. Just give few days and if you don't want it then go back to Verizon fast as you are running out of time for return or exchange!!

          I purchased my phone in December and noticed the GB were really high so I had to increase them to 15. My son ordered same phone and his had to be replaced twice so far. Mine wouldn't take a charge so they replaced it a few weeks ago and within 2 weeks I've used 12 GB...crazy. my son used 12 GB in 2 weeks as well. I requested a whole different phone. I am not doing anything different on this phone that I didn't do on others over the past 2.5 years. Has anyone noticed that it is a data hog?

            I just bought this phone Saturday evening. I've been using Samsung Galaxy phones for several years, but wanted a very good camera. Salesman persuaded me to buy the Motorola Droid Turbo 2.

            It seemed like a great choice, until I got home and started using it. The camera is great, but there are a lot of options but paucity of direction about most of these features. I can't figure out how to mute it. The camera has an auto flash feature which I can't figure out how to disable. The Google search box at the top of the home page can't be dismissed. The phone's search doesn't work. The how-to videos don't cover the topics I'm interested in and the "get to know your phone" video keeps stopping and skipping. The online manual isn't helpful: I still could not find anything about how to mute the phone. In fact, I can't find any screen showing the three usual options of "ring," "silent," or "vibrate." If I try holding the power button down, the only option that pops up is "power off." (Airplane mode doesn't even show up there.)

            I can't get back to the Verizon store fast enough tomorrow! I won't buy another Motorola again.

              I purchased this phone in late May, after 28 days the lens had a scratch in it from a coin. Verizon said I had to go to motorola. I did this and after a month of e-mails and 10 or more phone calls motorola said it was cosmetic and not covered by warranty. I would need to send the phone in, 10 days or more, and pay $60.00 to have it fixed. Worst customer service ever.

                  I have the original Droid Turbo. and my greatest complaint with it is after turning it on the quad -core microprocessor attempts to run multiple apps simultaneously! As a result the phone overheats and uses excessive battery power!

It is just a different name since the US market got used to Motorola Droid. Even the newest Moto Z will be branded as Moto Z Droid. It might not work in the UK, but I am not sure. It should, though. Search for the bands it supports, and ask you carrier which bands he supports.

                            I purchased a turbo 2 in December due to the salesman assuring me as he punted the phone across the room it would not break. In March I returned to Verizon with a green line horizontally down the front of the phone. After many excuses I was told to take my insured phone to an "I fix" kiosk at the mall.. due to wear and tear....as it would be cheaper to fix the screen. In June I returned yet again because the green line was getting wider and was told it would cost $300 to repair the phone. It is now July and the green line is getting worse. I have tried talking to Verizon but I am told Motorola is well aware of this issue but I have to pay to have it fixed. DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE! IT IS A SCAM! I have been given many excuses but the fact that they say it can't be damaged is a lie. They just want your money and do not back their product up. I just want the phone repaired I don't even need a new one its only 7months old in a two year plan however they are not interested in keeping a customer but making a buck. I will NEVER buy another Motorola product again. Use this phone as what it is intended for.. a paperweight.

That one probably works over in the UK and should be available from online retailers. Good Luck!

                                [deleted post]First of all... it does not have a left speaker. Only one on the opening of course on the bottom right. Secondly, it's probably a faulty charger or you already broke it on your own. It's not the smartphones fault your not a smart person. Learn how to use it first before you ruin another smartphone. Enough of your nonsense. SMH...

                                      My Droid turbo 2 was the worst phone I've ever had. I had to lift up on the charger at all times for it to charge. my battery lasted an average of 4 hours with little use. I haven't even owned it for four months and my left speaker broke and stopped working and my entire screen broke. I was just sitting on the couch and it turned black and wouldn't show anything. my mom, who has the same phone, also is experiencing the same charge and battery problem I am. I most certainly am not impressed

                                        LOVE LOVE LOVE my Droid Turbo 2! Initially chose this phone for the 21mpx and 4x zoom camera. Takes great photos, with the 4x zoom, I can photo the smallest items with great detail, or zoom for distance shots, and love the touch anywhere on the screen to take a photo-really helps with one-handed quick shots, without having to find the darn camera button. Lots of editing options too.

                                        As for set up and operation, I was able to set it up without having to look at the manual, and it's so easy to use, (and find things), that even my non-techie spouse figured it out. which may not be a good thing, because now he uses my Droid Turbo 2 more than his own, (and then I have to wait my turn), so I guess I need to get him his own. :-)

                                        Some people may not like the large size (& weight) of the phone itself, but I love it! It provides a larger screen area, (to read emails and... play games, and by changing the font size to huge, it is so much easier to read without having to put on my glasses. Speaker sound is good, (even my hard-of-hearing mother can hear when it’s on speakerphone).

                                        As for speed, to me anyway, it feels blazing fast. This phone is a Verizon exclusive, so you have to pay a little more per month, for the service, but so worth it. Verizon really does have a large network and fast 4G. I opted for only the 2G of Data since I use this a lot on available wifi’s, but you can still scroll thru emails to see if anything is super urgent, then turn on the 4G when you need it, and quickly turn it off when you don’t.

                                        Hooked it up to my computer with a USB and easily backed up all my files, photos, everything to my desktop computer, (just in case), and between google cloud and Verizon cloud we have lots of storage space. (for all those videos and photos)

                                        Added an SD card to transfer the gazzillion photos I've been taking - and in the slide out camera settings, you can set the photos to save directly to the SD card or the phone (which saves phone storage space for other things like ...games).

                                        AND lets not forget the shatterproof screen! It's been dropped a couple times already (once on the concrete driveway!!), and it's all good! We did spend the extra couple of bucks to get some peel and stick screen protectors, (from Verizon, not the cheap-er knock-offs) to protect from scratches, and the occasional splash of water - or coffee... so far, the first one has lasted over 8 months, and still does not need replacing, (and you don’t wanna know what the screen has been subjected to).

                                        This phone is my workhorse. The battery life is better than any I’ve had before ... we use this phone - a Lot. from around 6 am to 4 pm with a full schedule of phone calls, checking emails, facebook, twitter, etc... and playing a game or two here and there, but even with continuous use, by 4:00 the battery rarely falls below 50%, by 7 or 8pm it might drop to 40 or as low as 20% .. but after a 20 min charge, its good to go again. If we don't play games, and only make calls and check emails (every 30 min or so), it can last a good 24 hours, and even then, the lowest it went down was around 10%.

                                        I have 10 different email accounts (for different purposes), and can easily access them all from one simple location, (saves me about 2-3 hrs a day checking emails) with the downloaded “one note”, I can type quick reminders and notes to myself on the road, and when I get on my desktop, everything is right there!

                                        If you are having problems with your phone, it might be that you just got a bad one, (it happens).
                                        Overall this is the absolute best phone I’ve ever had. If I could afford it, I would buy one for every one of my friends and family. Seriously, I never thought I would be so excited about a phone, but I truly love this phone and would very highly without a doubt absolutely recommend it!
