My contract with verizon is up soon and i am deciding between both these phones.. I love the style and near naked android feel of the moto x but i have real concerns for battery life throughout the day.The turbo is a powerhouse on the battery side and is strong overall ,the thickness and size makes it less pocket friendly and the capacitive buttons aren't optimal... Since moto x has been out awhile i was looking to get opinions from owners on their likes/dislikes and if they would still pick a moto x over a turbo.. thanks :)

I just checked out the Turbo the other day and wasn't really impressed with it. The screen is better, but not THAT much (I'm not a QHD fan), and the fact that it requires extra horsepower just to match the performance of flagship 1080p phones like the X, it doesn't seem any faster or smoother than the X does. The X has a much better design, better in hand feel, better build materials, is more pocketable, and while it doesn't have 2 day battery life like the Turbo (per Motorola's claims) it still gets pretty amazing battery life. I average 6 hours screen time daily, and never have to plug my phone in before bedtime. I really wanted to like the Turbo as I had my eyes set on the Moto Maxx that's supposed to be coming out soon, but my honestly unbiased opinion is that the X is the better all around device.
