Motorola has already released its flagship second-generation Moto X on multiple carriers, but has it been saving something even better as a Verizon exclusive? Engadget points out that the leakers over at HelloMotoHK have just published pictures of a new Motorola smartphone called the Droid Turbo that will be an exclusive for Verizon. What’s more, Engadget says that “some reports suggest it’ll pair a Quad HD display with a 2.65GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 chipset and a 20-megapixel camera.” In other words, this new phone could offer more impressive specs than the ones Motorola offered with the 2014 version of the Moto X.

Specs, of course, don’t mean everything and one of the things that we found that the 2014 Moto X did well was deliver a great overall user experience that had nothing to do with its processor speed, display resolution or its camera’s megapixel count. Even so, if the Droid Turbo could deliver the same kind of strong user experience as the 2014 Moto X while also delivering a boost in specs, it could be a very impressive device.

We’ve posted one picture of the Droid Turbo below but you should head over to HelloMotoHK to get a look at even more.
