Cherry Mobile gave us the Defender to review (which you can see here) and also asked us to conduct a stress test to put into use its robust, life-proof features. In this series of tests on video, we submerged the Defender in water to fully evaluate its waterproofing, dropped it in different places and surfaces, set it on fire, and have a sub-compact car run over it. Cherry Mobile has introduced its Defender which targets the active users who are always out and about -- either getting lost in the mountains or chasing down the rapids. The rear of the phone shows more of the rugged characteristic of the Defender. With a thickness of 16.6mm, the Defender is evidently not an easily-pocketable handset. OS, UI, and Apps Software-wise, the Defender is running on Android 6.0 Marshmallow and is pre-loaded with the usual apps and services Cherry Mobile stuff in its smartphones -- these include the Cherry Fun Club, Cherry Play, Cherry Prepaid, etc. The Defender delivered decent ones but nothing outstanding and we noticed that it has a hard time focusing on the subject indoors. From these results, it seems like the camera is the weakest selling point of the Defender. Read more in our articles including "Cherry Mobile Defender Stress Test" and "Cherry Mobile Defender Review".
