Both phones in this comparison review have Android OS (Operating System), but the Galaxy S7 edge has the newer 8.0 Oreo version and Motorola Droid Turbo has Android 4.4.4 version, so it provides a couple nice extra features. Galaxy S7 edge's construction is newer, somewhat lighter and way thinner than the Motorola Droid Turbo.
The Motorola Droid Turbo features a little faster processing unit than Galaxy S7 edge, because although it has a lower amount of RAM memory, and they both have 4 processing cores, the Motorola Droid Turbo also counts with an additional GPU. The Motorola Droid Turbo features a much better looking screen than Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, because although it has a little smaller screen, and they both have the same resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels, the Motorola Droid Turbo also counts with a little bit higher pixels number in each inch in the screen.
The Motorola Droid Turbo shoots just a bit better videos and photos than Galaxy S7 edge, because although it has a tinier diafragm aperture which is not nice for capturing photographs or videos in low light situations and lower 24 fps video frame rate, and they both have the same video quality, the Motorola Droid Turbo also counts with a much more mega-pixels back-facing camera.

So if you want that extra specs and features, you can buy the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, else you can save some money and get the Motorola Droid Turbo, resigning a couple features and specifications.
