Android version and market relevance

Motorola DEFY was announced by the company Motorola in September 2010 and in the same year official sales began in stores. The device was placed in the series of smartphones DEFY. Motorola DEFY works on Android 2.1 Eclair and the manufacturer even took care of customers by releasing an update to the version 2.2. And before listing all the main characteristics of this model, it is important to note that it does not support the work of two SIM cards, there is a slot for only one SIM card.

And if you want to look at the competitors of this smartphone, then in our catalog on the page “Smartphones of the year 2010” all models of the same year are presented. And it will also be useful to look at the page with smartphones at a similar price, like Motorola DEFY — this is the price segment page “Affordable smartphones from $100 to $200”.

Screen, body and battery

3.7 Inch TFT touchscreen occupies almost the entire area of the front panel of the smartphone Motorola DEFY. Case thickness 13.4 mm puts the battery in it in capacity 1 540 mAh. As a result, these three important characteristics give us such an idea of the device — small smartphone with very thick case and weak battery.

Main camera and selfie camera

Take photos and videos on smartphone Motorola DEFY possible on the main camera on 5 MP. We tried to divide all smartphones in the catalog into segments and this model with such a main camera got in the segment of weak chambers. And today there are a lot of camera phones at affordable prices, which we recommend that you look at.

Processor and Internal Memory

A smartphone without a processor will not work. And the better the processor, the faster the smartphone works. Motorola DEFY received 1-core processor TI OMAP 3610. The amount of RAM in it is 0.512 GB.

But, more importantly, it′s the amount of built-in memory for storing your information (photo, video, music, etc.). Here you will receive 2 GB. You can still do this — buy a smartphone with a minimum amount of memory to save a bit, and buy a memory card microSD up to 32 GB, because in this model there is a slot for memory cards.

Price for Motorola DEFY: buy or not to buy?

$110 is the price for Motorola DEFY at the start of sales. For this money you get a smartphone with not the fastest processor, not a large touch screen, with an ordinary camera for photos and video. And with such characteristics, the smartphone got into the price segment “Affordable smartphones from $100 to $200”, where you can choose any other similar model for a same price.

And how important is the battery capacity in your smartphone? In this model, the battery is very weak. We advise you to look at real long-livers — smartphones with a powerful battery.

Motorola DEFY will be available after the beginning of official sales. We always recommend that you look at the smartphone before you buy it to make sure that it fits you in all respects — screen size, case materials and build quality, speed and smoothness of the interface, photo and video quality, etc. After you choose a model, then you already look at the different offers from the sellers — you can buy it on the Internet or in the offline electronics supermarket. Buy where you prefer, where there are stocks and discounts, and where the seller guarantees the service of the device under warranty.

We picked up these models at a similar price.
