Motorola Defy+ announced, gets +1

As Google was busy announcing its intent to acquire Motorola yesterday, the handset company also announced its latest Android smartphone — the Motorola Defy+.


Just like the first handset, the Motorola Defy+ is also water resistant, scratch resistant with dust-proof design.

In fact, this handset is more like a refresh with some improvements in the processor and the OS.

Motorola Defy+
3.7″ screen @ 480×854 pixels
1GHz Cortex-A8 processor
Gorilla Glass display
2GB internal storage
up to 32GB via microSD (2GB included)
512 MB RAM
HSDPA 7.2Mbps, HSUPA 2Mbps
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, DLNA, WiFi hotspot
5MP autofocus camera w/ LED flash
Motoblur UI with Live Widgets
FM tuner
GPS w/ aGPS support
1700mAh Li-Ion battery
Android 2.3 Gingerbread

Motorola is expected to release the Defy+ some time in October but did not indicate any suggested retail price. We saw the first Motorola Defy last week selling for only Php16,900 and it was already running on Android 2.3 Gingerbread so basically the only difference the Defy+ has is the +200MHz processor speed .

    The Defy is shock RESISTANT not shcok PROOF. Of course is will be broken when thrown. It will only survive if dropped from around 3.5 feet or less.

    The gals in the Motorola kiosk in Megamall Cyberzone told me they’ll have it in stock by first week of December. I decided not to wait for it though. They were holding their demo unit of the original Defy. It was damaged after they challenged a guy to throw the phone and prove its toughness. the result sort of turned me off. Hehe..

      The Motorola girls are dumb-stupid. Motorola said their phone was rugged, not indestructible. What annoys me even more is when people actually expect it not to break when it’s thrown by a full grown man. Duh.
