Motorola Moto X Force comes with a "unbreakable" screen ( Shatterproof display ) and its the first Smartphone with that technology . 

Well Motorola is planning to add this Technology to other Moto Smartphones . ( But that's too expensive for now ! )

 "Our aim in the long run is take all our tech as low as we can.

Once there was a time when Moto Devices gets every firmware updates early just after Nexus and Android One devices and today we are waiting for Android 6.0.1 update and Motorola hasn't even completed their Android 6.0 Update .

Is this because Lenovo owned Motorola ? May be !

We are not blaming Motorola for the bugs that are in 6.0 Marshmallow , but they should roll Android 6.0.1 Immediately to solve the bugs present in Android 6.0 . 

We are waiting , Motorola ! For Android 6.0.1 and security patches !
