Comparison review
The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 has a global score of 79.3, which is slightly better than Motorola DROID Turbo's overall score of 77.9. The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 design is newer, a little bit lighter and incredibly thinner than Motorola DROID Turbo. Both phones in this comparison review work with Android OS (operating system), but the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 has a newer 5.1 version and Motorola DROID Turbo has Android 4.4.4 version, offering lots of additional features and some performance improvements.
The Motorola DROID Turbo features a more powerful processing unit than Galaxy Note 5, because although it has a lower amount of RAM, it also counts with an extra GPU and a larger number of cores (and also faster). Motorola DROID Turbo features a little bit better display than Galaxy Note 5, because although it has a little smaller screen, and they both have the same exact 2560 x 1440px resolution, the Motorola DROID Turbo also counts with a little bit more pixels per inch of display.
The Motorola DROID Turbo's storage capacity to store more games and applications is just as good as Galaxy Note 5's one, both of them have exactly the same 64 GB internal memory capacity. Samsung Galaxy Note 5 counts with just a bit better camera than Motorola DROID Turbo, because although it has a back facing camera with lot less megapixels and a worse (4K) video definition, it also counts with a larger aperture for better captures and videos in poorly lited environments.
Motorola DROID Turbo has superior battery performance than Samsung Galaxy Note 5, because it has a 30% greater battery size.
Although Galaxy Note 5 is a better device, it costs a lot more money than Motorola DROID Turbo, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as Motorola DROID Turbo. So if you need that extra features and specs, you can buy Galaxy Note 5, otherwise you can save a couple dollars and get the Motorola DROID Turbo, giving up some specifications.
