Motorola India has begun teasing the launch of its in-destructible Moto X Force in India with #MotoFaceOff, which is not trending on Twitter. Well, in-destructible is a bit of an exaggeration but it does come with a rugged build and a shatterproof 5.4-inch Quad-HD plastic-OLED display.

Motorola is backing the claim of the shatter-proof display with a 4-year warranty against serious damage to the display in the US where the Moto X Force is exclusive to Verizon as the Droid Turbo 2. The company has been working on this display for the last 5 years. Apart from the plastic-OLED display which we have also seen on the G-FLEX series from LG, Motorola has added a dual-touch layer so even if one layer fails it won't hamper touch response.

Screen Size 5.4 inches (1440 x 2560 pixels, 540 ppi)

Camera Back: 21 MP, 2160p@30fps; Front: 5 MP

Processor Qualcomm MSM8994 Snapdragon 810

You can read about the detailed specifications here. But just to get some key ones out of the way, the Moto X Force runs on the Snapdragon 810 octa-core processor with 3GB RAM, 32/64 GB onboard storage which is expandable with a microSD card slot. It has a 21MP rear camera with PDAF and a 5MP front-camera for wide-angle selfies.

Motorola has added a generous 3760 mAh battery here and connectivity options include dual-SIM support, dual-band WiFi, GPS, FM Radio and NFC.

At present there is no word on a launch date or pricing but that its coming soon. If we go by international pricing cues, then the Moto X Force in India would be priced around Rs. 42,000. We will be keeping a lookout for this one.
