Motorola shows an Apple iPhone 6S smashes upon impact in the new Droid Turbo 2 advert |
Motorola has unveiled its latest smartphone in a new advertisement which shows Samsung, Xiaomi and Apple handsets smashing into tiny shards in beautiful slow-motion.
One in four people will continue to use their smartphone with a broken display – even after cutting their fingers on the cracked glass, the video claims.
The YouTube clip ends with a Motorola Droid Turbo 2 crashing into the ground and being picked up without a scratch.
It's clear Motorola is not going to be playing down the durability of its new flagship Droid smartphone.
The technology behind the shatterproof screen – which clocks in at an impressive 5.4 inches and with an eye-wateringly sharp 540pixels-per-inch – is dubbed Moto ShatterShield.
It relies on a flexible AMOLED display which floats above the frame so the smartphone won't crumble at the first sign of a sudden shock.
Powering the Droid Turbo 2 is a Snapdragon 810 processor and 3GB of RAM.
Samsung smartphones are show to be just as susceptible to smashed screens |

Wireless charging is also supported via the Qi standard.
The rear camera packs 21megapixels with a f/2.0 aperture, duel LED flash and 4K video capabilities.
The Droid Turbo 2 launches in the US on October 29th.
Motorola has not confirmed a UK price or release date for the shatterproof device.
