Speaking of the Droid Turbo – this new product from Motorola and Verizon can really be seen as one of the most powerful smartphones ever made. Equipped with a state-of-the-art specs configuration, the Droid Turbo can easily challenge pretty much any other smartphone for a quick face-off in the arena. This time, however, we've found a fearsome opponent for it, in the form of the venerable Samsung Galaxy S5. Samsung's flagship has ruled the Android land throughout most of 2014, but it's grasp on the throne appears to be waning these days. Too many challengers, too many months have passed since the S5's advent, and it will all come down to this duel, in which the Motorola Droid Turbo is going to try and take over the champion belt.

There isn't a massive difference between the Droid Turbo and the Galaxy S5 when it comes to dimensions. The Turbo is just slightly bigger, but not quite as big as something like the G3. Still, Motorola's proposition is significantly thicker with its 0.44" 11.2mm, compared to the S5's way slender 0.32" 8.1mm. Overall, the Droid Turbo definitely feels like the chubbier phone, but that's supposed to have some positive effects that we'll discuss later hint battery capacity

Display
Two AMOLED screens. One is Super AMOLED, the other is superb AMOLED

Arriving multiple months later than the Galaxy S5, the Droid Turbo's benefits from a higher screen resolution – 1440 x 2560 pixels, versus the S5's 1080 x 1920 pixels. With the screen on the Turbo being just marginally bigger at 5.2” vs 5.1”, it all means that Moto's handset will deliver a much higher pixel density: the astonishing 565 ppi vs the S5's 432 ppi. And before you ask – no, there isn't any major difference in terms of clarity between both – the QHD resolution of the Turbo only a subtle improvement over the already super-sharp picture quality of the Galaxy S

Where these guys differ is in the way they reproduce colors. Both the Droid Turbo and the Galaxy S5 make use of AMOLED screens, but their color balance tends to be different most of the time. The Droid Turbo comes with fixed color settings that cannot be altered by the user. Its colors tend to be very oversaturated and way off from their reference values. It's a vivid and eye-catchy screen, but one that will rarely display images the way the artist intended them to be seen, so to speak. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S5 gives the user a choice between a bunch of screen modes. Most of those deliver a striking, overly-punchy image with inaccurate colors. There are some modes that try to tone things down to an extent, but nothing to really bring those AMOLED nuances to something that we could call natural – something like the Note 4's Basic screen mode, for example, which does a good job of normalizing the colors, but is missing from the S5. Even though the Galaxy S5's display benefits from the added flexibility of the screen modes, we tend to prefer the Droid Turbo's AMOLED panel, because it maintains a more realistic color temperature of about 6600 K, compared to the GS5's predominantly cold 8100 K in Standard mode and greenish appearance.

Outdoor visibility, on the other hand, is excellent with the Samsung Galaxy S5 – Samsung's phone is among the best offerings out there in this category. The Motorola Droid Turbo could definitely be better when it comes to its readability under the glaring sun...
