The Superb Motorola Defy Features Smartphone Technology In A Dust Proof Handset
|
The Motorola Defy has taken a gap in the market which has, until now, remained relatively untouched. It caters for those who want full smartphone functionality but in a more durable device than this technology is usually associated with. The fact that is shockproof, waterproof, and dustproof is sure to appeal to many users who need these qualities in a phone due to workplace or lifestyle.
In this article, I will look at the main specifications of the phone and see if it is as good as its rival smartphones.
First impressions of the Motorola Defy are good; it may lack a bit of style and flair, but it is by no means an unattractive device. Although it is clear that this phone is about substance over style, it is not too dissimilar to rival handsets produced by HTC or Samsung.
The spec list of the Motorola Defy reads pretty much as you would expect that of the majority of smartphones currently available to. The handset packs an impressive 5 megapixel digital camera with LED flash and VGA video capture. Autofocus and image stabilisation are also on hand to simplify the process, at the same time improving the quality of the resulting images. As a cameraphone it seems, it offers similar technology to many of its rivals; it is by no means on par with the likes of the Nokia N8, but produces pleasing results all the same.
Several connectivity options allow users to surf the internet via the full HTML browser which even supports flash. 3G and Wi-Fi are on hand to provide the most appropriate browsing connection based on the availability of local networks and signal strength. Web pages load relatively quickly and the touchscreen responds very quickly with an 800 MHz processor under the hood to provide all the computing power the handset may need. This makes for a very pleasant browsing experience, especially over a Wi-Fi network.
The operating system of choice for the Motorola Defy is Android 2.1 (Eclair) however this can be upgraded to later versions such as 2.2 (Froyo) and the latest 2.3 (Gingerbread), meaning that users can take advantage of the latest software without needing to buy any new hardware. The advantages of the Android operating system are numerous, and its continually increasing popularity is testament to this. One of the major draws of the OS is the famous Android Market. This comes with access to thousands of apps, which users can browse and download at their leisure. This means that the functionality can be increased massively, to suit the needs of individual users. This is great for the Motorola Defy, as it has a capable processor which can handle demanding applications with ease.
There is a long list of features you would expect from any Android smartphone, installed as standard on the Motorola Defy. Social networking applications, along with locations based services such as Google Maps, the latter functioning thanks to built in GPS.
This article only goes over the basics of what this handset has to offer. Whilst it may not boast any groundbreaking hardware or software, it has a spec list which makes it a superb all rounder and great for every day use. The fact that it is durable is an added bonus; you may work outdoors or live a hectic lifestyle, or maybe you are all too familiar with the scenario of dropping your phone on the ground only to have a smartphone with a smashed screen. Either way, the Motorola Defy offers a great option, and surprisingly affordable.
