However, you can also opt for Horween pebbled leather or a grippy soft-touch texture at no extra cost through Motorola's Moto Maker service, adding that extra touch of class to an already seriously stylish handset. However, Motorola's said it will play an active role in helping users to replace their screens in the form of published video tutorials and online advice. That said, it's not like you can just whip off the screen at any given moment, as it's still firmly attached to the rest of the phone.

Sitting on top of all that is a sheet of hardened plastic, forming the main protective layer against scratches, bumps and dents.Įven better, that plastic layer is user-replaceable, so if you do happen to crack it, you won't have to pay a small fortune to get it fixed or send it off for repairs.

Next is a dual touch layer, just in case the first one happens to fail after a fall, which is then followed by an interior layer of glass. At the bottom is an aluminium core holding everything together, and on top of that is a 2,560x1,440 AMOLED panel. While most smartphones typically have three layers making up the display (the LCD or AMOLED panel, touchscreen digitiser and top glass layer), the Moto X Force has five. The secret behind the screen's toughness is all down to what Motorola's calling its Moto ShatterShield technology. Admittedly, the phone's metal frame did start to accumulate the odd dent or two from repeated whacks and smacks, but I'd say it's a small price considering the sheer resilience of the display. It was able to survive repeated display-side down drops on a number of different surfaces, from wood, concrete and stone from a height of around two metres, all without incurring any damage to the screen whatsoever. It's so good, in fact, that you wonder how no-one else has done something like this before, but the Moto X Force is truly indestructible. I have to say the wait has definitely been worth it. It's taken three years to come to fruition, but Motorola's so confident in the Force's display that it's guaranteeing the screen for four years of typical use, whether you drop it on the pavement or have it fall out of your pocket up a ladder.

Thankfully, Motorola's saying 'No more!' to cracked smartphone screens, as its brand-new Moto X Force is being lauded as the world's first shatterproof smartphone. You can buy as many cases as you like to protect against dents and scratches, but there comes a time when it will inevitably slip out of our hands and fall, face down, onto the floor, shattering the screen into a million tiny pieces. Smashing your phone's screen is a moment that every smartphone user dreads.
