Droid Turbo gets leaked press pics, official unveiling date

Verizon has just started sending out press invites for an event it will hold on October 28. As you can see, these plainly state that during that event the next Droid-branded handset will be unveiled.

Furthermore, the carrier has recently reactivated its Droid Does website, which is currently counting down to October 28. So it's pretty clear that the oft-leaked Droid Turbo will finally get official in a couple of weeks.

Recently we saw the smartphone's manual making it to the Internet, and today a couple of press renders of the Droid Turbo have surfaced too, alongside yet another confirmation of its specs.

Motorola Droid Turbo for Verizon

It will come with a 5.2-inch QHD (2,560x1,440) touchscreen, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 chipset with a 2.65 GHz quad-core CPU, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, a 21 MP rear camera with dual-LED flash, and a huge 3,900 mAh battery. It will run Android 4.4.4 KitKat when it launches.

The body of the Turbo is apparently made out of scratch-resistant "metallized glass fiber", with a Kevlar-reinforced back panel and Gorilla Glass 3 on the screen. It's even splash-proof, being able to withstand everyday spills and survive in up to 20 minutes of downpour, a leaked marketing document reportedly says.
