It looks like Motorola's Droid Turbo is headed to India, if a recent tweet by e-retailer Flipkart is any indication. The image in question makes a reference to the "ballistic nylon" back finish that is exclusive to the Droid Turbo. The device will be marketed as Moto Maxx in the country.

It is retailing around 600 USD without contract in USA. So my guess is it would not be less than 38k :shock:

But the specs are mouthwatering :D
  • 1440 x 2560 pixels (~565 ppi pixel density) 5.2 inch display
  • SD 805 Quad-core 2.7 GHz Krait 450 + Adreno 420
  • 32/64 GB, 3 GB RAM
  • 21MP Dual LED Camera
  • 3900 mAh battery
  • Ballistic Nylon and DuPont Kevlar reinforced by Metallized Glass Fiber
  • Water resistant nano coating

It is selling for about 49k and Moto launch phones at a similar price worldwide so I guess India launch will also be about 49k and all of a sudden Nexus 6 is cheap.

This is a Nexus killer.
Wondering how much part of its planning goes to Google and how much to Lennovo.

Google is not concerned because N6 is out of league.N6 is a phablet and this is a flagship killer.

For 42k all I need to wait for One m9 and s6 prices to be floored to the public. If they are about 45 to 46k I might get them or else this would be my one m8 upgrade.

I am tempted to get a Motorola but there ASS is non existent. Which makes me wary against buying it.

What does ballistic nylon have to do in durability of this phone. I mean would it be more resistant to drops or be shock resistant?

Sony z series still look much better look wise.

Moto service for phones is better than Sony and Samsung actually
also xperia phones may be discontinued (rumoured)
if i had to buy a 40k phone right now,i would ensure it wont stop production etc and ASS or atleast availability of parts

On what basis are you compairing Sony ASS with motorola?
I don't see any service centers for motorola. Also with sony always had good experience as far as ASS is concerned.

Its rumoured that sony mobiles might close down. But, that's not because they made bad handsets and had bad ASS.

Motorola is a different story. I don't think online service can be compared to offline one.

well for sony,their phones and laptops service was rather bad
for all other products it is good

Xperia phones have had issues for a while now-lack of updates,Self cracking screen issue,overheating etc
Moto may not have as many service centres as sony but its service is better

just having a service centre isnt enough,the working is more important...

WD provides online service and it is beyond expectations. If Moto can provide anything close to that ot will be awesome.

And this is why a price tag of 42k on a moto is expensive.
