Motorola is finally teasing the imminent launch of the Moto X Force in India. The company has put up a teaser video on Twitter that highlights the smartphone’s shock absorbent capabilities, and compares it to other flagship smartphones like the Apple iPhone among others.
Motorola stops short of revealing an exact date of launch, but IBNLive cites a source as saying that the company will be hosting an event onFebruary 2. This is much later than what Motorola’s India GM Amit Boni was quoted as saying last month.
The publication’s source also claims that Motorola is looking at pricing the Moto X Force somewhere around the Rs 50,000 mark. If Motorola sticks to this price range, it will be almost Rs 20,000 more than the flagship Moto X Style smartphone, which is priced at Rs 29,999 (16GB variant) and Rs 31,999 (32GB variant).
Motorola Moto X Force features: The smartphone’s talking point is its near ‘indestructible’ nature, which has been achieved by what Motorola calls ‘ShatterShield’ technology. The company has essentially added a five-layer system that prevents the device from shattering. This system includes a proprietary hard coat for exterior protection, a shield for protecting the interior lens, dual touch layer for safeguarding touch-sensitivity and touchscreen, and an aluminum chassis. Motorola is so sure of its technology that it claims the screen won’t crack or shatter for up to four years.
Motorola Moto X Force specifications: It features a 5.4-inch QHD (2560×1440 pixels) display, Snapdragon 810 octa-core chipset, 3GB of RAM, 32GB and 64GB internal storage options, and a microSD card slot.
