Moto Z2 Force has a screen you can’t break

A good choice for people with clumsy hands

Lenovo has just unveiled the Moto Z2 Force, a phone with a screen you can’t break.

It’s designed to take on the best handsets on the market, and will cost €799 (£735).

It features a 5.5-inch, 2,560 x 1,440 screen, which is protected by “ShatterShield” technology.

Motorola introduced ShatterShield in 2015 and it’s been proven to work incredibly well, ensuring the screen doesn’t break no matter what you throw at it.

It can, however, succumb to scratches and bumps.

While the Z2 looks nice, it lacks the wow factor of rivals like the Samsung Galaxy S8.

It feels much more solid though, thanks to its aluminium unibody. This would definitely be a good choice for anyone with clumsy hands.

The only drawback is that it’s not fully waterproof. Motorola instead says it has a “water repellent nano-coating”.

Like many other high-end phones on the market, the Z2 uses a dual-camera.

It comprises a pair of 12-megapixel sensors, and lets you play around with depth effects on your photos.

You can also play around with a 360-degree camera Moto Mod, which clips to the back of the Z2.

On the front, meanwhile, is a 5-megapixel wide-angle lens that should help you squeeze more people into your selfies.

The battery has a 2,730mAh capacity, and can be powered up really quickly thanks to TurboPower charging.

The Z2 Force will receive the Android Oreo update when it's released, and is available in black, gold and grey colour schemes.
