Droid Turbo 2 Tested: The Shatterproof Smartphone Is Here

Motorola's ShatterShield is the world’s first smartphone display guaranteed not to crack or shatter. There have been several tests done and all of them were successful.

The Droid's display has five layers of protection. The first layer is the exterior protective lens: a layer designed to protect against dents or scratches. The second layer is the interior lens: a clear layer that won't crack or shatter. The third layer is the dual touch layer: if something were to damage the first touch layer, then the second touch layer would take over to keep the screen's performance going. The fourth layer is the AMOLED display: this display absorbs shock and produces wonderful picture quality. The fifth, and last, layer is the aluminum chassis: this layer provides durability. The most important part out of all of this is that the screen does not shatter.

Although the phone may have some pros to it, it also has its cons. Shatterproof does not mean scratch proof. Also, the appearance is not that appealing. If it were me looking for a phone, I wouldn't even look at what the phone has to offer because of its appearance. I think that Droid specifically targets people that would rather have endurance than elegance. This is not a bad thing, but some people just don't prefer it.

The shatterproof phone is definitely a new product, so we'll just have to wait and see what the public thinks!
