Motorola DROID Turbo 2 Smartphone Survives 70 Drops In Torture Test Due To Shattershield Screen

Motorola DROID Turbo 2
In what could be a game changer among smartphones Motorola unveiled  its latest smartphone with Shattershield screen. Motorola unveiled the new DROID Turbo 2 smartphone on Tuesday in New York City.The smartphone is a upgrade from 2014’s original DROID Turbo but one of the outstanding feature in DROID Turbo 2 is is its Shattershield screen. The Shattershield screen protects the device from developing cracks on its display when accidentally dropped on the floor or other hard surfaces.

Most of the smartphones become unusable when they are dropped and their screen gets broken but Motorola says the DROID Turbo 2 owner will never face that situation as this smartphone screen will never crack.

To know how important a shatter-proof screen is to phone owners, Motorola conducted a survey of 6,000 adults from six countries to know how pervasive the problem of cracked phone screens is. The Survey results revealed that 50 percent of the respondents have experienced a cracked screen. By country, about 34 percent of Americans had the experience, while among Britons, it is 38 percent. In Brazil, the rate is 50 percent, in Mexico 64 percent, in China 63 percent and India 65 percent.

Half of the screen damage was caused by the phone falling from their hands, 32 percent fell from pockets and 27 percent from laps when the owner stood up. About 5 percent admit the cause of the cracked screen was they threw their gadget at something, and 7 percent damaged it while taking a selfie.

But one interesting finding of the survey is that 23 percent of smartphone owners, despite having a device with a cracked screen, continue to use it, including swiping, touching and tapping the device even if the broken display cut their fingers.

Gizmondo tested Motorola’s claim that the DROID Turbo 2’s  Shattershield screen could withstand so many drops. So it decided to test the Shattershield by dropping  new DROID Turbo 2 70 times. Gizmondo reports that the DROID Turbo 2 passed the test with flying colours as its screen was only scratched, not broken, the bezel took a beating and the SIM card tray came out.

But most importantly, “nothing happened that affected the functionality of the phone.”

High-profile lawyer Gloria Allred says she has been contacted by exes of Charlie Sheen after he revealed he had HIV.

According to BBC. The star told a TV interview on Tuesday he was diagnosed four years ago.

Allred confirmed she had been "contacted by women with reference to Charlie Sheen and their rights. I have no comment on what will happen next."

In the TV interview Sheen said it was "impossible" that he would have passed HIV on to anyone else.

Sheen said he hoped the interview would put a stop to an "onslaught, this barrage of attacks and of sub-truths of very harmful and mercurial stories about threatening the health of so many others, which couldn't be further from the truth."

He said when he revealed his HIV status to friends "the truth became treason", leading to "blackmail and extortion and a circle of deceit".

Sheen said he had paid "enough to take it into the millions" to keep people from going public about his illness.

"I trusted them, they were in my inner circle and thought they could be helpful. My trust turned to their treason," he said, adding a prostitute took a picture of his medication and threatened to sell it to newspapers.

"I think I release myself from this prison today," he said.

Unprotected sex

Sheen admitted he had had unprotected sex since his diagnosis.

"But the two people I did that with were under the care of my doctor and were warned ahead of time."

He said he had told all his sexual partners of his diagnosis "no exception".

Since the interview a number of his exes have given TV interviews.

Allred is known for taking on high-profile cases connected to celebrities.

She is currently representing several women who claim they were either drugged or sexually assaulted by the comedian Bill Cosby.

And was involved in cases against OJ Simpson and Michael Jackson.

People with HIV may be prosecuted for intentionally or recklessly infecting another person.

In the US, 67 laws explicitly focused on people living with HIV had been enacted in 33 states by 2011. They cover not disclosing the virus to sexual partners - even if the transmission risk is minimal or nonexistent - donating HIV-infected organs and spitting HIV-infected bodily fluids.
