Motorola Moto X Force (Bounce) to be launched as Droid Turbo 2 by Verizon

In the last few weeks, we saw several leaked renders that allegedly show an unannounced Motorola handset called Moto X Force (and codenamed Motorola Bounce). According to @upleaks, this handset will be released in the US, but it's going to have a different name: Motorola Droid Turbo 2. @upleaks even has an image of the Droid Turbo 2, which obviously doesn't look too different from the Moto X Force.

Needless to say, the Droid Turbo 2 will be available only at Verizon Wireless, which is the exclusive carrier of Droid-branded smartphones. It's not the first time we're hearing about a Droid Turbo sequel, but now we can actually see the handset (both front, and rear sides are visible).

Reportedly, the Moto X Force / Droid Turbo 2 is powered by an octa-core Snapdragon 810 processor, and sports a shatterproof 5.4-inch Quad HD display - slightly larger than the 5.2-inch Quad HD screen of the original Droid Turbo. The new handset should also offer a 21 MP rear camera, 3 GB of RAM, 32 GB or 64 GB of internal memory, and a 3760 mAh battery.

Outside of the US, the Moto X Force is expected to be launched in December for about $620. We assume that Verizon will release its Droid Turbo 2 at about the same time, or even earlier. But we'll see what happens.
