After getting the great success of the original Defy smartphone, now the company has introduced the upgraded model called Motorola Defy Plus. Obviously, this smartphone has been equipped with the enhanced specs and features. Therefore, let’s take a closer look at the below specs overview of this smartphone to figure out whether it’s worth for you to obtain.
In terms of overall design, Motorola Defy Plus comes with the similar style of the original model. The device measures the same dimension and weight of the original model namely 107 mm in height, 59 mm in width, 13.4 mm in thickness and about 118 grams in weight. But if you wish for the smaller device, then you may go for the Motorola Defy Mini. The screen measures 3.7 inches with 16 million colors, 480x854p resolution, 265 ppi pixel density and multi-touch feature. This rugged display has been protected with the Corning Gorilla Glass and below the display there are four touch-sensitive controls including menu, home, back and search button.
To improve the general performance, the company has upgraded the processor of this durable handset to single-core 1 Ghz Cortex A8 (TI OMAP 3620) but however the phone has been packed with the same RAM (512 MB). For the operating system, users are given the improved Android OS 2.3 (Gingerbread) several enhancements like the much better copy and paste function as well as the enhanced power and application management. Towards the user interface, the company has added the MOTOBLUR UI with Live Widgets. The battery capacity has also been increased to Li-Po 1700 mAh which can deliver the stand-by time up to 384 hours (16 days) and talk-time up to 7 hours and 10 minutes. But actually, its stand-by duration and talk-time are below the average of today’s smartphone in the market
Actually, there’s no major improvement for the camera specs as the phone still sports the 5 megapixels camera with max image resolution of 2592х1944 pixels, auto-focus, single-LED flash, geo-tagging and image stabilization feature. This camera can also be functioned as the VGA video recorder at 30 frames per second (fps). At the front side, there’s a secondary camera which can be used for video call through the 3G network.
To access the 2G and 3G networks, the phone runs on quad-band GSM and the dual-band HSDPA. When using the 3G network, users will get the internet speed of up to 7.2 Mbps through the HSDPA connection. The default browser supports for HTML web page along with the Adobe flash feature. To access the wireless network, users can utilize the Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n (hotspot) and also the DLNA, Bluetooth 2.1 (A2DP+ EDR) and micro USB 2.0 for the local connection or data sync.
The selling price of Motorola Defy Plus is £228 or about $350 (off-contract). The advantages of this smartphone are the sleek and rugged design (IP67 certified), decent pixel density, spacious 2 GB built-in storage, sufficient battery life, flash web browser and much quicker processor. On the other hand, this device has the low resolution display and mediocre camera. [IS]
