Sneak A Peek At Motorola Bounce!

Motorola’s new flagship smartphone scheduled for release in December this year.

Bounce is the codename designated to Motorola’s new flagship smartphone/phablet that is apparently scheduled for release in December this year. The device will be named Moto X Force (a.k.a. Motorola Droid Turbo 2 in the US) upon release.

A picture and some purported specs of the rumoured smartphone were leaked just few days back by a Twitter account, @upleaks, however the credibility of the information hasn’t been confirmed by Motorola or by Verizon (the exclusive seller for the device in the US).

The speculated specs for the device include:

• A 5.43-inch shatterproof QHD display with 2560x1440 pixel resolution with 541 pixels per inch (which is very good).
• 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 MSN 8994 processor, supported by the Adreno 430 graphics processor.
• 3 GB of RAM with 32 GB or 64 GB storage options.
• 21 megapixel rear camera with dual LED flash and a 5 megapixel front camera.
• 3,760 mAh battery, which is fairly big and should last you the better part of the day.
• Android M (Marshmallow).

The “shatterproof” display indicates the military standard (MIL-STD) rating. Not sure what this implies and how it’d all work out. We’ll keep an eye on this and let you know what learn along the way.

Apart from that mil-spec glass, the device also brandishes water and dust resistant features. The battery life can be expected to be admirable however the inclusion of a fingerprint scanner is not yet confirmed. On the flip side though, the Bounce might be equipped with some new sensors, which will add rich functionality to this device.

Interestingly, the several colors surrounding the camera module indicate that customers will be able to customize the Bounce via the Moto Maker website. Like the Droid Turbo, the device might not come with an expandable memory option though.

The price tag for Bounce is not yet revealed, however the speculations place it at a ballpark figure of INR 30,000.

Will Moto X Force eat into the flagship market of costlier phones from other Android brands? It certainly has the individual ingredients!
