Comparison review
The Google Pixel XL has a general score of 81.3, which is slightly better than Motorola DROID Turbo 2's 75.4 score. Google Pixel XL's design is newer, just a little bit lighter and just a little bit thinner than the Motorola DROID Turbo 2. The Motorola DROID Turbo 2 has just a little better performance than Google Pixel XL, because although it has less RAM, it also counts with a larger number of cores (but slower).
Motorola DROID Turbo 2 has a little sharper display than Google Pixel XL, because although it has a quite smaller screen, and they both have the same resolution of 1440 x 2560px, the Motorola DROID Turbo 2 also counts with a little higher pixel density. Google Pixel XL and Motorola DROID Turbo 2 both count with quite similar cameras, and although the Google Pixel XL has a way less megapixels resolution back-facing camera and a worse 3840x2160 (4K) video quality, they both have a same size diafragm aperture.
Motorola DROID Turbo 2 counts with a superior storage capacity for games and applications than Google Pixel XL, because although it has less internal memory, it also counts with a SD memory card expansion slot that admits a maximum of 1,95 TB. Motorola DROID Turbo 2 features a bit longer battery life than Google Pixel XL, because it has 3760mAh of battery capacity instead of 3450mAh.
Although Google Pixel XL is a better device, it costs a lot more money than Motorola DROID Turbo 2, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as the Motorola DROID Turbo 2. If you are trying to save a few dollars, you can buy the Motorola DROID Turbo 2, and give up a couple features, but you'll get the most out of your money.
