The device, which was earlier referred to as the Motorola Bounce, will be released internationally in December.

The predecessor of the new Moto DROID Turbo 2 was also exclusively released by Verizon in October 2014, and it comes with a 5.2-inch display with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 chipset and quad-core processor, 3 GB of RAM with 32 GB or 64 GB memory options, and a 21-megapixel primary camera with a 2-megapixel front-facing shooter.
The new DROID Turbo 2, meanwhile, will come with a lot of improvements over the earlier device, including the use of the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chipset. It will feature a bigger 5.43-inch QHD display as well. While the alleged smartphone will still have the same 21-megapixel primary rear camera, 3 GB of RAM, and 32 GB and 64 GB storage options, its secondary front-facing camera will be raised to 5 megapixels.
In addition, the upcoming device will allegedly come with a shatterproof display feature. However, there is no confirmed information about what "shatterproof" really is.
Aside from the alleged release date, @upleaks also mentioned that the model number of the Moto DROID Turbo 2/ Moto X Force will be XT158x.
