Motorola Defy Android Smartphone Coming to T-Mobile

By

Phone makers are hoping smartphones will be high on consumers’ wish lists for the 2010 holiday season, and to that end Motorola is launching a media blitz for its forthcoming Motorola Defy Android handset. The Defy will feature a 3.7-inch WVGA touchscreen, a 5 megapixel camera, Android 2.2 “Froyo” with Flash-enabled Web browsing, and Motorola’s Motoblur shell designed to bring folk’s most-used stuff—and social networking to the phone’s front screen. The Defy will be launching on T-Mobile in time for the holidays—and it’s starting its 15 minutes of fame with a cameo on the 25th season opener of The Oprah Winfrey Show.

“Defy is designed to handle everything that life throws your way,” said Motorola Mobility chief marketing officer Bill Ogle, in a statement. “With all the features consumers expect in a smartphone, Defy packs Web browsing, entertainment, and messaging capabilities as well as an exterior design that can withstand the stresses of everyday life.”

The Defy will feature DNLA connectivity, so users will be able to share content with DLNA-compatible PCs, HDTVs, game consoles, and other devices throughout their homes. Motorola is also touting the Defy as water resistant and dust-proof: the handset also has two microphones to offer intelligent noise cancellation for clear calling. The camera features an LED flash and autofocus.

Budget phones can slip under the radar when shiny, powerful flagships launch. But if you're in the market for a smartphone that gets the job done and won't blow a four-figure hole in your bank balance, then a great budget smartphone is the way to go.

Motorola’s two new budget phones shouldn’t look this good

While not as flashy as flagship phone announcements, it's always worth keeping an eye on new phones in the budget range being launched. Motorola was the long-time king of this particular area but was largely unseated by particularly strong efforts from manufacturers like Samsung and OnePlus into the budget market.

So, it might no longer be the sole king, but that doesn't mean it's throwing in the towel. Far from it, in fact. Motorola has just announced two new smartphones in the sub-$300 bracket: the Moto G Power 5G (2024) and the Moto G 5G (2024). Here's everything you need to know.
