Moto DROID Turbo gets international name, to be released in Brazil this week

Moto Maxx Motorola

Motorola earlier confirmed that Verizon's exclusive Moto DROID Turbo will also debut internationally this month, but the device will be known as the Moto Maxx this time.

The Maxx, which basically has the same specs and features as the Verizon Moto DROID Turbo, will be released outside the U.S. market beginning Nov. 8.

The Moto Maxx comes with a 5.2-inch Quad HD Touchscreen with a 2560 x 1440 pixel resolution. It runs using the Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 SoC with a 2.7 GHz quad-core CPU, 3 GB RAM, and a built-in storage of 64 GB.

Moto Maxx allegedly has super powerful camera functions, including the 21-megapixel primary camera with Dual-LED flash as well as a 4K video recording capability.

Yet the Moto Maxx/DROID Turbo is best known for its exceptional battery features. It has a 3900 mAh battery that can give life to the device for as long as 48 hours while using it for different functions. It also supports Motorola's state-of-the-art turbo charging technology, which could provide eight hours worth of power with just 15 minutes of battery charging.

The device is also reportedly harder than steel, mainly because of the Kevlar coating that envelopes the phone underneath the usual coating.

Rumors about the release of DROID Turbo's international version first started when several leaked photos of a smartphone from Brazil that has a striking resemblance to Verizon's exclusive line were posted online. It also has the same specs as the smartphone that the U.S. network carrier recently released.

GSM Arena reported that the Moto Maxx will begin to be released in Brazil on Saturday, Nov. 8. It will also be released in Mexico later this month. Other Latin American countries will also see the smartphone in their store shelves in the near future.

However, there are no reports yet whether other regions will also find the Moto Maxx in their local stores sometime soon.
