It’s an exasperating experience that is all too familiar: one minute you are reaching into the bedside table to pick up your ringing phone, and the next you are screaming hopelessly because you dropped the phone. Best case scenario, it’ll sustain a small, unrecognizable chip. Worst case scenario, you now have a shattered phone.
If you drop your phone every now and then, it’s a good investment to keep it protected with a screen guard or get a new shatterproof phone altogether. Motorola is set to unveil Droid Turbo 2. The new shatterproof smartphone is created with the ShatterShield technology, which guarantees a dropped smartphone will no longer be an incident of panic and stress.
The Droid Turbo 2
The Droid Turbo 2 is operated by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 central processing unit along with 3GB of RAM and a choice of 32GB or 64GB internal storage. The unit provides two days’ worth of battery life and delivers Turbo Charge rapid-charging system powered by Qualcomm
Quick Charge 2.0. This means if your battery is low, it’s possible to be back up to a 100 percent charge in no time.
With a shatterproof screen, you don’t need to be worried about cracks and chips blocking whatever multimedia you’re playing on the smartphone’s 5.4-inch Quad high-definition display screen. The shatterproof phone also features a 21-megapixel rear-facing phone camera with fast focus and shutter speed. It also boasts a 5-megapixel front-facing camera with wide-angle lens for easier and clearer selfies.
The Droid Maxx 2
If you don’t concern yourself with chipped screens or shattered phones, Motorola also announced the release of the Droid Maxx 2. This new device offers a water-repellent feature, a 5.5-inch high-definition display screen, and the high-end multitasking Snapdragon 615 central processing unit.
Added Protection
The Droid Maxx 2 can be customized in an instant with five removable Motorola Shells. You may also opt for the Motorola Flip Shell in any of three color combos for additional protection. As for the Droid Turbo, you can personalize the unit with the Moto Maker at the time of the purchase,
with a full revamp within two years. The two new devices are loaded with the best Motorola software can provide. This includes the
Moto Assist smart assistant as well as the Moto Loop to maintain the user’s most used contacts handy at all times.
The Need for Shatterproof Smartphone
Based on professionals who sell electronics, the growing demand for a shatterproof smartphone is happening for several reasons. One of which is the fragility of such mobile device. Even if you’re not a clumsy phone user, you may have known someone who constantly drops his or her phone. This means you also know the remedy is quite expensive. Often, it’s cheaper to just get a new phone than it is to repair the one that is shattered. This is the main reason Motorola is rolling out these new devices.
The Verizon Deal
The exclusivity deal Motorola franchise has with Verizon means that the new devices will be first available to all Verizon customers. As per Motorola executives, the future shatterproof and waterproof devices will arrive sometime next year.
