Though the Droid Turbo comes with many repetitive and, dare I say, useless apps, Moto almost makes up for all of them, so jam-packed it is with fun and useful features.  Not only does it boast Voice Command and Gesture Controls, it also contains Assist- a technological personal assistant to help you throughout your day. Whether you’re sleeping, driving, working, or relaxing, you can enable Assist to know where you are, what you’re doing, and how you wish to be contacted. Below you’ll find further explanation for each of Assist’s four categories; but first, let’s get to the app. 1. Tap

One of the coolest features of the Droid Turbo is it’s gesture controls. For certain functions, you no longer need to bear the massive exertion of pushing a button, and can now use a handful of easy gestures to command your phone. This is especially exciting for any Harry Potter wannabes out there. Yes, you can now be a real life tech wizard, finally fulfilling the dreams of your eleven year old self who never got that Hogwarts admission letter. You can wave your hand to silence calls and alarms, twist the phone to easily open the camera app, or simply

Good thing the Droid Turbo comes with a ton of battery life, because as I’m sure you’ve noticed, it also comes with a hefty number of pre-installed apps- apps you don’t want or are unsure of what their use is, just sitting there taking up precious space.

Oh where, oh where has my sim card tray gone? Turns out it’s hidden within the volume button! The Droid Turbo is a phone that, though heavy- due to it’s enormous battery, has a great look and feel to it; and the hidden sim card tray certainly contributes to the sleekness of the design. Another bonus is that, unlike the iphone, you don’t need to use a special tool to open the tray. Because, let’s face it, none of us hold onto the special tool and keep it in a safe and easy to access location, like we’re supposed to.

Are you aware that you can wirelessly print from your Droid Turbo? And are you aware that it’s super easy!?  I will confess that I have owned phones capable of printing for a while now, and it has never ONCE occurred to me to actually try to print something directly. Which is crazy, since it’s not like printing via a computer has been working out super well for me anyway. In fact, my typical printer interactions usually go something like this: 1.

Of course we all love checking out the innovative, cutting-edge features when we get new phone, but sometimes there are old features we still don’t know about, or simply never figured out how to use. I’m willing to bet that turning your phone into a mobile hotspot is one such feature.
