It is essentially the Droid Turbo 2 announced for Verizon earlier this week, without the atrocious Verizon logo on the front. The Moto X Force will be the first smartphone to offer Motorola’s Shattershield display. Motorola has worked on the display for three years, and is so confident that the 5.4-inch quad-HD display won’t shatter that it’s offering a four-year repair guarantee for any accidental damage.

Motorola is not as confident on this feature to offer a repair guarantee, but it may still save the phone from heavy rain or a quick dip. Qualcomm’s octa-core Snapdragon 810 processor, 3GB of RAM, and a massive 3,760mAh battery with fast charging power the Moto X Force. On the back sits a 21-megapixel Sony sensor with dual-LED flash and optical image stabilization. The Moto X Force will be available in a variety of materials, including leather, ballistic nylon, and durable soft-touch polycarbonate. Customers will be able to choose the design through the Moto Maker tool, though carrier specific options may be available in the United Kingdom.

The Moto X Force will be available in the United Kingdom by mid-November, costing £499 for 32GB or £534 for 64GB of storage.
