According to a tweet by @upleaks, Motorola is planning to launch a new phone called Motorola Bounce, which will have a “shatterproof” design. The phone will reportedly come with a 5.4-inch QHD display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 SoC, 3GB of RAM, and will be available with either 32GB or 64GB of internal memory.

The rear of the phone looks very similar to the new Moto X phones, and also shares the same combination of 21MP and 5MP cameras. The phone will also come with a 3760mAh battery. Since the Bounce has a shatterproof design, it should come with an MIL-STD rating  as IP ratings only cover water and dust proofing/resistance. Although it isn’t explicitly mentioned by @upleaks, it is possible that the phone may also come with water and dust protection.

The third generation Moto G flaunted IPX7 resistance and could withstand being submerged in three feet of water for 30 minutes. We put that claim to the test in our review of the Moto G and it came through just fine. The video of the test can be seen below.

As per reports, Motorola is also planning to launch the 3rd generation of Moto X phones in India this month, although it isn't specified if it will bring one variant to India, or both. The Moto X Style comes with a 5.7-inch QHD display, 1.8GHz hexa-core Snapdragon 808 processor, 3GB of RAM and a 3000mAh battery. The Moto X Play comes with a slightly smaller 5.5-inch Full HD display, 1.7GHz Snapdragon 615 SoC, 2GB of RAM and a 3630mAh battery. The Moto X Style and Moto X Play are expected to cost Rs. 26,048 and Rs. 19,520 respectively.
