Moto X (2014) vs Droid Turbo Comparison: Specs, Price and Features Review - Great Design vs Great Specs
The Moto X and the Droid Turbo are both from Motorola, but they are two birds of different feathers. Some have even described the spec-heavy Droid Turbo as the less charming cousin of the Moto X.
Design
A major difference between the two devices is their design. The Droid Turbo has minimal curves, capacitive buttons on screen, a plastic frame and a back panel in ballistic nylon or Kevlar. The Droid Turbo is also much heavier and thicker than the Moto X, which has a premium metal frame and a back panel that can be customized with a variety of materials such as wood, bamboo and leather on the Moto Maker website.

The display on the Droid Turbo screams quality as it has a 5.2-inch Super AMOLED screen, with a resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels and a density of 565 pixels per inch.
