Hello,
I recently bought a Moto X Play, and I'm
playing indeed, playing with the idea of returning it and buying a Droid Turbo on eBay.
Currently, the Turbo can be bought for around 450 cad, same as the X Play (except it's used, but it's quite easy to find Turbo in good condition considering it's made to be tough!).
It also has a humongous battery. The screen is reportedly around the same width but doesn't go as far up, so it's easier to handle. No need to mention the processor is also better, same goes for the screen, and the bigger battery makes up for the increased consumption. Moreover, the Droid has all the features of the "usual" Moto X: the screen is a Super AMOLED, unlike the X Play IPS screen; there's a gyroscope and IR sensors so you get the Moto Actions, you're VR ready, Photospheres ready... unlike the X Play. Plus I just noticed it had Glonass (which the X Play doesn't have), which can improve location tracking especially in northern latitudes (#Canada).
Oh, and it has fast charging AND wireless charging. Yayz.
The only reasons to buy a X Play over a Turbo in Canada (where you don't care about Verizon CDMA lock) seem to be:
-The Camera (even if it's not as bad as the two first Moto X, the Turbo lags behind)
-Warranty (since the X Play is bought new, but even then you can get the Moto Warranty by registering your Droid I guess, depending on how long it has been owned)
-FM Radio (yeaaaah. Personnally I use bluetooth headphones, so I can't even use it)
-Swappable back plates (impossible to buy in Canada unless you order from Aliexpress, from what I understood)
-You don't like capacitive buttons (I realized it had the advantage of freeing screen space, so it really depends on your preferences)
-You prefer big screens.
Annnnd that's about it I guess?
So in short, my question is: have I forgotten something? Is there a dealbreaker about the Turbo? etc.
