Verizon Droid Turbo 2 Review
In a world dominated by iPhone and Samsung, how does a legendary company like Motorola produce a device that stands out from the crowd?
By making the DROID Turbo 2, that’s how.
The DROID Turbo 2 essentially takes every iPhone and Samsung users wish list and puts it to work.
Battery life got you down? Try out this powerhouse 3760mAh for two days of use. The quick charge will give you 13 extra hours in only 15 minutes on the wall.
Tired of getting gouged by Apple for storage space? How about expandable memory, up to 2TB’s with a micro SD card. (Two Terabytes! In a phone!) It’s a good thing too because you’ll be using that 21mp camera to take massive and high quality pictures and videos everywhere you go.
No more bricked phones thanks to a careless spill either, the DROID Turbo 2 is also splash proof, with a water repellant coating that protects the phone inside and out.
All this is great, but what really caught our eye here at MANjr is the claim of the shatter-proof screen.
I mean c’mon. How shatter-proof are we talking? So we put in a request for a DROID of our own and put it through some very serious real world testing.
Turns out the secret to a shatter-proof screen is in the layers. Five layers to be exact, including two functioning touch screens in the rare case that one of the screens is compromised. (Still not sure how that could happen, by the end of the testing we were practically throwing it on the concrete floor.)
End of the day, if the goal is to stand out in a marketplace that is a near duopoly, Motorola hits all the marks. Unlike us in our video review.
Motorola DROID Turbo 2
(exclusively on Verizon)
- $624.00 or $28.80 / month
- 21 mp camera
- Android OS
- Customizable backings and colors
- Shatter-proof screen
- 48 hours of battery life between charges
- Expandable storage using Micro SD

420 Folks – Check Out the Blue Hemp Chant Mini From The House of Marley
Weed is legal for recreation in four states and Washington DC. Twenty other states have legalized the use of medical marijuana. State ballot initiatives continue to gain support and this upcoming election season could see even more states following the national trend of decriminalization and legalization. People just don’t see prohibition as a smart strategy anymore.
Don’t take my word for it. Here’s what President Obama said about the issue to VICE News last March:
“You’re starting to see not just liberal Democrats, but also some very conservative Republicans recognize [prohibition] doesn’t make sense, including sort of the libertarian wing of the Republican Party,” President Obama said. “They see the money and how costly it is to incarcerate. So, we may actually be able to make some progress on the decriminalization side.”
It’s just not as big as a deal as it used to be. And if you’re someone who supports this, tomorrow is a big day.
But no matter how you choose to spend your 420, you’re gonna need music. And what’s a more appropriate speaker to reach for than the House of Marley Chant Mini portable Bluetooth speaker? In Blue Hemp, no less. It’s tiny, stylish, made from eco-friendly materials and most importantly, these guys make good products. My old Marley earbuds are still my go-to choice for convenient, on the go headphones.
Stay tuned for the full review!

Ford Gets Night Vision
Every year it seems that Ford keeps on pushing the limits. The constantly add new features to cars that greatly improve their cars. Recently, under the cover of night, a Ford Fusion Hybrid autonomous research vehicle with no headlights on navigated along lonely desert roads, performing a task that would be perilous for a human driver.
Driving in pitch black at Ford Arizona Proving Ground marks the next step on the company’s journey to delivering fully autonomous vehicles to customers around the globe. It’s an important development, in that it shows that even without cameras, which rely on light, Ford’s LiDAR – working with the car’s virtual driver software – is robust enough to steer flawlessly around winding roads. While it’s ideal to have all three modes of sensors – radar, cameras and LiDAR – the latter can function independently on roads without stoplight.
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data has found the passenger vehicle occupant fatality rate during dark hours to be about three times higher than the daytime rate.
“Thanks to LiDAR, the test cars aren’t reliant on the sun shining, nor cameras detecting painted white lines on the asphalt,” says Jim McBride, Ford technical leader for autonomous vehicles. “In fact, LiDAR allows autonomous cars to drive just as well in the dark as they do in the light of day.”
To navigate in the dark, Ford self-driving cars use high-resolution 3D maps – complete with information about the road, road markings, geography, topography and landmarks like signs, buildings and trees. The vehicle uses LiDAR pulses to pinpoint itself on the map in real time. Additional data from radar gets fused with that of LiDAR to complete the full sensing capability of the autonomous vehicle.
For the desert test, Ford engineers, sporting night-vision goggles, monitored the Fusion from inside and outside the vehicle. Night vision allowed them to see the LiDAR doing its job in the form of a grid of infrared laser beams projected around the vehicle as it drove past. LiDAR sensors shoot out 2.8 million laser pulses a second to precisely scan the surrounding environment.
This year, Ford will triple its autonomous vehicle test fleet – bringing the number to about 30 self-driving Fusion Hybrid sedans for testing on roads in California, Arizona and Michigan.
