Thankfully, you can remove that-logo, reports Pocketnow, but to do so would put the integrity of the phone at risk. The issue stems from the implementation of Motorola’s ShatterShield technology, which comprises-five layers: an aluminum core, a flexible AMOLED screen, a dual-touch layer that ensures touch operations remain functional regardless of a fall, an interior lens, and an exterior lens. The Verizon logo just so happens to sit on the exterior lens, which can be-removed by a Droid Turbo 2 owner.

In addition, doing so could void your warranty,-thus eliminating Verizon’s four-year replacement program in the event that your Droid Turbo 2 screen does shatter. There is light at the end of the tunnel, however,-in the form of the Moto X Force, the international version of the Droid Turbo 2.-There exists the possibility that the-Moto X Force will also have replaceable, blank exterior lenses for customers to scoop up. Since the Moto X Force shares the same dimensions as the Droid Turbo 2, replacing the Verizon-branded exterior lens with a blank one should be a simple task. There’s no word on whether these exterior lenses will also be sold in the United States, so you’ll-likely have to deal with international shipping for the time being should you-decide to go down that route. Currently on sale, the Droid Turbo 2 continues the-story of the original by packing a 3,760mAh battery that promises 48-hour battery life. Verizon also touted the phone’s 2TB of expandable storage, as well as a shatterproof screen and a 21-megapixel Sony Exmor camera.
