Motorola, currently owned by Lenovo, today has officially announced its long expected flagship smartphone at a special event held in New York, the Moto Z2 Force. Just like its predecessor, the phone has a 5.5-inch QHD AMOLED shatterproof display that can survive day-to-day work stress without scratching and breaking. The firm is offering four years warranty for the display and lenses to quench all doubts and questions that may arise on solidity and strengthwill of the shatterproof screen.
Its slim aluminium body of 6.1mm is nano-coated on the outside to repel water just like other moto smartphone but it does miss on the waterproof and dustproof standard unlike other flagships out there. The Moto Z2 Force is powered by an octa-core Snapdragon 835 Mobile Platform running at a full speed of 2.45GHz, coupled with Adreno 540 GPU for high-intensive gaming and graphical artwork. It is to be noted that this is Motorola first device to packs Snapdragon 835 chipset.
