The Motorola Defy is an Android-based smartphone from Motorola. The Defy is marketed as water-resistant, dust-resistant, impact- and scratch-resistant by merit of its port covers and Gorilla Glass screen.[3] The phone has also been launched unlocked in Germany, France, Italy, India, Thailand, Spain, the UK, Turkey and Greece under various networks and is distributed exclusively by T-Mobile in the US, TELUS in Canada and Telstra and Optus in Australia.

Description

The phone is a bar format with a touch screen and four Android touch buttons on the front. It has Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11b-1999, IEEE 802.11g-2003, IEEE 802.11n-2009),[4] 5-megapixel camera with LED flash, speakerphone, 800 MHz TI OMAP3630 processor, a 3.7 in (9.4 cm) FWVGA LCD. Lacking a physical keyboard, the phone instead provides the Swype virtual keyboard and an alternative multi-touch QWERTY keyboard.[5] The Defy shares its platform with Motorola Bravo though there are minor different in exterior design, 3G band, lower resolution camera without LED flash and non-weather resistance. The Defy is "water-resistant" with all covers closed (battery, USB, and audio jack)

Hardware

The Defy CPU/GPU is TI OMAP3 architecture OMAP3630 and the PowerVR SGX530. The OMAP 3 is the industry's first 45-nm CMOS processor running at 800 MHz in ARM Cortex-A8 superscalar microprocessor core.[6]
A possible hardware refresh was observed, mainly noticeable (but not a clear proof) with the camera lens being red instead of green.[7]

A successor Defy Plus model has been announced[8]
