Last week, a Portuguese publication had posted an invite from Motorola suggesting that the company is hosting an event on November 5 in Sao Paulo, Brazil, where it will unveil the unlocked global variant of the Motorola Droid Turbo as the Moto Maxx. The invite did not include a device name but was accompanied by an image featuring the unique Ballistic Nylon build of the Droid Turbo.
