Motorola has slashed the prices of its shatterproof Moto X Force smartphone in India. The phone, which was launched in India in February, has got a price cut of Rs 15,000 on the 32 GB model and Rs 16,000 on the 64 GB variant.
The 32 GB variant, which was earlier priced at Rs 49,999, is now available at a price of Rs 34,999, while the price of the 64 GB model has gone down from Rs 53,999 to Rs 37,999.
Both the variants are available on Flipkart.com at revised prices.
The Moto X Force, which happens to be the world's first shatterproof phone, is the most premium Motorola phone in the India since its re-entry to the Indian market in February 2014 and the company has been on quite a roll since then.
The Moto X Force uses the Moto ShatterShield display technology, which is said to be an integrated system consisting of five layers designed from materials that absorb shock from impact and are guaranteed not to shatter.
Motorola has replaced glass with various forms of plastic to make screen shatterproof. Most leading phones usually use chemically strengthened glass. But that still being glass can crack if it hits a hard surface with enough force.
The Moto X Force features a 5.4-inch Quad HD display, 21 megapixel rear camera, and a 5 megapixel front-facing camera. Under the hood is Qualcomm's Snapdragon 810 with 2.0 GHz octa-core CPUs. The phone supports a microSD card of up to 2 TB.
The phone further includes TurboPower charging, which the company claims can give users up to 13 hours of power in just 15 minutes. It is said to give users up to 48 hours of battery life on a single charge. The bigger 3760 mAh battery does make the device thicker than most other phones.
