Motorola Droid Turbo's global version might be launched in Brazil as the Moto Maxx

Yesterday, Motorola pleasantly surprised everyone by announcing what seems to be one of its best smartphones ever (if not the best): the Droid Turbo. Unfortunately, the Turbo is a Verizon exclusive device, so no other US carrier will be able to sell it. But what about the rest of the world? Well, it looks like Motorola will reveal a global variant of the Droid Turbo next month, in Brazil.

Brazilian website Tecnoblog received an invitation to a Motorola event that’s going to take place on November 5. While there’s no word on exactly what’ll be unveiled during the event, the back of a Droid Turbo (with one of its LED flashes) is clearly visible on the invitation. In fact, the invitation uses an image - seen above - that’s already featured on Motorola’s US website.

Tecnoblog has it the global Droid Turbo would be called Moto Maxx (a name for which Motorola has been granted a trademark earlier this year). Even with a different name, the handset will most likely have exactly the same features, including a 5.2-inch display with 1440 x 2560 pixels, a 2.7 GHz Snapdragon 805 processor, 20.7 MP rear camera, 3 GB of RAM, 32 GB / 64 GB of internal memory, and a beefy 3900 mAh battery.

We don’t know if Motorola is planning to release the Droid Turbo / Moto Maxx in other countries around the world. Hopefully, we’ll find out more about this next month. Until then, for a detailed look at Motorola’s latest and greatest smartphone, check out our Droid Turbo hands-on here.
