There are rumors emerging about Motorola's Droid devices this year, even though the company has not made its plans for the two smartphones official. However, this has not stopped the Internet from arriving at the conclusion that the Droid Turbo 3 and possibly the Droid Maxx 3 will be offered by Verizon in conjunction with Motorola.

Importantly, the rumors about the two Droid devices emerged via the Twitter account belonging to serial tipster Evan Blass. In his tweet, Blass outlined that the Droid Turbo 3 and the Droid Maxx 3 would be arriving this year and he went on to label it as a case of "déjà vu." However, given the fact that Droid devices from Motorola are usually available from Verizon and no other carrier, it is unclear if they have been successful enough to justify the creation of a third-generation of smartphones.

Last year, the Droid Turbo 2 and the Droid Maxx 2 received positive reviews and a good amount of attention when they released. The Droid Turbo 2 specifically had a shatterproof screen that was developed for the device by Motorola. Additionally, the device came with a Snapdragon 810 chipset that made it a better option compared to the flagship Motorola device, the Moto X Style, which has a less powerful Snapdragon 808 chipset. This led to many people preferring the Droid Turbo 2.

Ultimately, this preference for the Droid Turbo 2 caused Motorola to rebrand it as the Moto X Force and offer it in international markets. However, there is no indication of how the Droid Turbo 2 and the Droid Maxx 2 performed in terms of sales in the United States. Meanwhile, given that Motorola is creating a Droid Turbo 3 and a Droid Maxx 3, it appears that the company is confident that demand for and reviews on these upcoming devices will be good this year, too.

Finally, coming to the hardware on the Droid Turbo 3, it is possible that it will have the Snapdragon 820 chipset, while the Droid Maxx 3 could have a less powerful chipset created for midrange devices.
