Alphabet/then Google CEO Larry Page spilled the beans on Motorola's big product announcement way back in 2013 on an earnings call justifying the purchase of Motorola:
"Think about your device. Battery life is a challenge for most people. You shouldn't need to carry around a charger to make it through the day. If your kid spills their drink on your tablet, the screen shouldn't die. And when you drop your phone, it shouldn't shatter.
"Having just seen Motorola's upcoming products myself, I'm real excited about the potential there. In just under a year, they have accomplished a lot, and have impressive velocity and execution."
Unfortunately, Google capitulated to Samsung and sold off the Motorola division to Lenovo early last year. That doesn't mean that the things Motorola was working on stopped.
In fact, there's a very real possibility that Page was referring to a shatterproof Google-branded Moto Nexus 6, but the shatterproof technology wasn't ready for launch...just like the fingerprint reader that also wasn't.
