[Deal of the day] Celebrate Valentine’s Day with two discounted Moto Droid Turbo 2 on Verizon!

Valentine’s Day is approaching fast and if you have a significant other you may already be sweating and worrying about what the best gift for the occasion is. Put those flowers and chocolates away, because tech is the gift of the future. Or so thinks Motorola because it just made the best deal possible for you!

 

In this age of consumerism, why not change things a bit and give up on the proverbial “love” gifts in exchange for matching smartphones? You can now get Two Motorola Droid Turbo 2 phones from Motorola/Verizon at half the price! Isn’t that pure love?

 

 

In order to be eligible for this deal you have to buy a Droid Turbo 2 that you can pair with a duplicate device or with a Maxx 2 phone. You can get them as stock devices from Verizon or you can spice them up a bit in the Moto Maker. Most people will just chose two Turbo 2 devices, and not as much for the matching brand, but for the sake of saving $300, and not less than $200 for a cheaper device.

 

In order to be eligible for this deal you have to keep in mind that you must activate your phone on Verizon. The promotion does not have an end date at the moment, but expect it to be over after Valentine’s day.

Verizon is offering a Black Friday discount – $200 value – on Samsung Galaxy S6, S6 Edge, or DROID Turbo 2 if you switch carriers and you release ownage of your existing device. You may also be eligible for a $300 gift card or credit Verizon if you trade in one of a number of used phones, which means you may be looking at a $500 discount.

 

If these discounts are not enough for you, Verizon is also cutting $100 off the retail price of some Verizon smartphones that usually sell at $400 and above. Some of them are LG V10, Galaxy S6 Edge+ and Galaxy Note 5.

 

If an LTE tablet is more to your liking, you may want to consider an Ellipsis 8 for only $50 (it usually costs $80). This deal is paired with a two-year contract, which may not be your cup of tea on the long run though.

 

Black Friday for Verizon is also packed with discounted accessories, including Parrot AR Drone 2.0 Elite (down to $250 – $50 discount) or a Nest Cam ($170).

Motorola DROID Turbo 2 deemed somewhat indestructible in early tests!

Motorola DROID Turbo 2 is new and ready to tumble, as Verizon and Motorola announced today, plus the device is marketed as shatterproof! According to third-party testers, this claim may have some truth to it as the phone is seen suffering tons of falls against different surfaces that have little to no effect over its functionality.

 

DROID Turbo 2

 

 

You can drop it from various distances, let it get hit by a car or stomped by a horse’s hoof, but it will still function. DROID Turbo 2 does not just get up from all of the violence it’s been put through without scars though, but if you have lived life with a smartphone with a shattered screen you can live with some dents in the screen too.

CNN tried to break the smartphone today and below you can see what they managed to do:

 

 

The main problem could be the sides of the screen as they suffer the most when the device is dropped, scratched or ran over. If you can’t take a dent or two on your smartphone – if you do a lot of heavy-lifting or are just that clumsy – you may still want to invest in a case or keep your mobile device close by. DROID Turbo 2 is closer to being an indestructible smartphone, but it still lacks Superman skills in this aspect.

Verizon DROID Trubo 2 and Maxx 2 pamphlets leak ahead of launch

Verizon DROID Turbo 2 and DROID Maxx 2 promotional pamphlets leaked online recently and new details regarding the two devices were spilled on the Internet. This year’s exclusive DROID line devices are back and they will be announced on October 27th.

 

Verizon DROID

 

The most recent leak regarding DROID Turbo 2, the high-end smartphone, and DROID Maxx 2, the mid-range version of the device, was revealed by Droid Life and it presents some interesting details already being rumored on the Internet.

 

Motorola DROID Turbo 2 details

 

The high-end version of this year’s Verizon exclusive will get access to Moto Maker, making it the first Verizon DROID device to get this option. The overall design of the device is similar to Moto X 2015 which Motorola has been selling for a little over a month now. The pamphlet mentions a shatterproof screen – a Verizon P-OLED display panel resistant to cracks – that should be more resistant than conventional tempered glass.

 

DROID Maxx 2 details

 

The mid-range Verizon-exclusive is promoted as a long-lasting smartphone in terms of battery – it should last up to 48 hours. You can get a blue, red, black or green version and you can trade-in your used phone for up to $300, even if it has a cracked screen.

There’s no news on pricing yet, but expect the Turbo 2 to range between $600-700 and the Maxx 2 to cost around $400-500. Remember these are Verizon DROID -exclusive phones, so you will not be able to get them if you don’t have a Verizon data plan or are not willing to commit to them.

HTC Desire 625 – a cheap alternative available at Verizon Wireless

If you don’t have enough cash for an HTC One M9 laying around and, to be honest, if you don’t want the hassle of a faulty camera and overheating issues, you can choose the much more affordable HTC Desire 625. It is an exclusive for Verizon Wireless that almost anyone can afford.

 

HTC

 

 

The Desire line usually manages to get the important aspects of the flagship and transform them into an affordable device. And they usually cost much less than a flagship too.

 

HTC Desire 625

 

 

HTC Desire 625 is the most recent addition to this line and it presents itself as a smartphone with a plastic white and gold body, but a nice and smooth finish. It costs just about $192 in the US where you can get it at Verizon on contract for $8 per month for 24 months too.

What’s inside the HTC Desire 625?

 

When it comes to specs, this device cannot be farther from the 2015 flagship. Under the chassis you will find a measly Snapdragon 210 plus 1.5 GB of RAM. Everything is projected on a 5” screen at 720x960p resolution and powered by a 2000 mAh battery. The good part is the 16GB of internal storage plus a microSD card slot. The device also has a rear 8MP camera that will not make the best photos, but you know, 2014 is not that far away and last year’s mobile cameras are not that bad..

 

HTC Desire 625 comes with Android 5.1 and Sense 7 UI on top. You also get 4G LTE support for all Verizon-friendly areas.
