Motorola Updates DROID Turbo 2 to Android 6.0 Marshmallow

The Motorola DROID Turbo 2 Employee Edition is getting updated to Android 6.0 Marshmallow, further highlighting that Motorola’s Marshmallow roll out is in full swing. The Employee Edition is the variant of the handset that is given to Verizon employees, the largest carrier in the United States offers the DROID Turbo 2 exclusively.

While the Android 6.0 update is limited to employees at the moment, it is clear that the software is ready so we expect Verizon to pass it on to consumers and their DROID Turbo’s in the coming days and weeks.

Motorola has been gearing its Marshmallow update process recently, sending out the software for the Moto X Pure Edition for Sprint, Verizon, and AT&T last week.

Motorola have completely changed the design here, so the DROID Turbo 2 does not look like 2014's DROID Turbo, moving far closer to the Pure Edition Moto X. Whereas previous DROID?s have looked towards rugged design, the Turbo 2 is more elegant and this time out Motorola has opened the device up to its Moto Maker customization suite. That means you can choose the color and materials used to build the DROID Turbo 2.

There are noticeable differences in aesthetic compared to Motorola's flagship, such as a thicker metal bezel, while it is also obviously smaller. Different looks maybe, but not different ethos. The DROID Turbo 2 is still a rugged old beast, a tank would be a fair way to describe it. It can deal with falls that would leave other smartphones in tatters, although it is oddly not waterproof, which would have been perfect for that extra bit of durability.

The original DROID Turbo from last year was the first Motorola handset to sport a Quad HD screen, and indeed only the Moto X Pure Edition and Nexus 6 have followed its lead since. There is no surprise then to see that the DROID Turbo 2 also sports an AMOLED Quad HD panel, although it is smaller than its predecessors at 5.2-inches. Indeed, that smaller size means the pixels are more packed and that close density should make this one of the richest displays on the market.

The real news here though is that this panel is shatter-proof. The company's ShatterShield technology means you can drop the DROID Turbo face down and the screen will not crack. We imagine many will test this theory when reviews land, but we don?t recommend you taking a hammer to this thing just for shits and giggles.

Motorola is on the ball when it comes to Android, but it seems the DROID Turbo 2 was too far ahead in development to get Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box. Instead it gets build 5.1.1 Lollipop, but don?t be surprised to see Marshmallow land early in 2016, if you ignore the fact the original DROID Turbo took an age to get Lollipop.

As always with Motorola, this is arguably the best third party Android software out there. The company's extremely light touch on Google?s OS means you are getting a near as makes no difference stock Android interface and features here.

One of the hardware updates the DROID Turbo 2 has over the Moto X Pure Edition is that the new device boasts a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810, while the latter only gets a Snapdragon 808. We say only rather flippantly considering we are not even sure the 808 is a worse chipset. Sure, it will perform slightly lower than the 810 with its six cores (the 810 sports eight cores), but then the flagship 810 has been plagued with overheating issues.

Motorola likely passed on the Snapdragon 810 for the Pure Edition for that very reason, so we can only assume that the company or indeed Qualcomm has solved the issue the processor had with causing heat throttles.

In terms of RAM, the Verizon exclusive comes with 3GB of the stuff, while there is 32GB and 64GB available depending on variant, and indeed the DROID Turbo 2 does come with a micro SD slot to expand the space.

The snapper is the same configuration found on the Moto X Pure Edition, and here is what we had to say about that set up when that handset launched:

A 21 megapixel camera sits on the rear as the primary shooter, and it comes with all the bells and whistles we would expect from a flagship, including F2.0, phase-detection autofocus, and dual-tone LED flash. Around the front there is a 5 megapixel snapper that is ideal for selfies with its LED flash.

HTC One X9 Leaked

The HTC One X9 is a device we have heard plenty about, it will be a design oriented mid-range smartphone that is classic HTC but probably not enough to drag the company out of trouble. The One X9 passed through TENNA last month, so we know it will be launched soon, and today there is a leaked image of the smartphone to assess.

As we said, classic HTC, which means a very eye catching smartphone, although we think the company’s design language is getting a little stale despite the obvious build quality and attention to detail still employed.

As for specs, the HTC X9 will be a large smartphone with a 5.5-inch screen with 1080p Full HD resolution, an octa-core 2.2GHz CPU with 2GB of RAM, and 16GB of native storage with expandable micro SD card space. Elsewhere there is a 13 megapixel camera around the rear and a 5 megapixel front facing lens, while Android 5.0.2 Lollipop will serve software duties.

This will be a mid-range smartphone that will fill the gap between now and HTC launching the One M10 flagship, which will probably be launched in February during the Mobile World Conference in Barcelona. The M10 is expected to arrive with Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 820 processor and we hope a lovely new design.
