DROID Turbo gets leaked again, retail version this time

At this point only the official announcement from Verizon will put an end to the seemingly unending flow of leaks about the DROID Turbo. But given this is probably one of the most high-profile Motorola DROIDs of late, perhaps we can stretch our limits just a wee bit more. Showing off that the smartphone is indeed ready to take center stage, this latest, and maybe last, batch of leaked photos show the DROID Turbo once more, but this time snuggled inside its cozy retail packaging.

Sure, these leaks don't do much to add to our almost complete picture of the smartphone, but it does give fans something more to chew on while patiently or impatiently waiting for Verizon's event this week. At the very least, it confirms certain aspects of the DROID Turbo's external design. You'll find the black striped Kevlar back, which seems to be as glossy as the red version but hopefully not as slippery. The rear camera is shown flanked by the two LED flash, not located inside the sensor's rim. On the front, you have confirmation of capacitive navigation keys, as well as that chin that we haven't seen in smartphones in quite a while.

Inside, which these photos of course do not show, we are expecting to see very high-end components, like a large-ish 5.2-inch screen with QHD resolution, a 2.7 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 805, 3 GB of RAM, and a large 3,900 mAh battery can be charged up quite quickly with Motorola's Turbo Charging feature. That camera at the back is also noted to be a 21 megapixel shooter.

The DROID Turbo has shaped up to be quite a Moto X killer, so to speak (would that mean it's committing fratricide?) and it will be interesting to see how Motorola, more than Verizon, will spin this higher-than-its-flagship device. The carrier, of course, would only be too happy to have such a premium phablet on its shelves. Verizon intends to unveil the DROID Turbo 28th October, so it won't be much of a wait.
