Motorola Defy 2021: analisi

In fact, in addition to certification IP68 and the other particularities already mentioned, it is equipped with a further certification MIL-STD-810H which ensures aoperation at extreme temperatures (between -30 ° C and 75 ° C), a vibration resistance category 4 and, to finish ahigh resistance to humidity and salt. On the other hand, analyzing the purely hardware side, it is a device that can do the bare minimum. The SoC Snapdragon 662 together with 4GB of memory RAM they will be able to ensure sufficient computing power for basic operations such as watching video content, browsing the web and running some not too complex video games.
The display is a IPS LCD gives 6,5″ with resolution only HD+, a real shame considering the generous size. In terms of connectivity, nothing is really missing, even the module finds its place NFC, a jack da 3,5mm for headphones and a physical programmable key. There is no 5G modem, but compatibility with networks LTE 4G they will be more than sufficient for most uses, offering a good internet browsing speed as well as downloading / uploading your data. The battery from 5000mAh it will guarantee, at least on paper, an autonomy of about 2 days, but obviously this will always depend on the type of use that is made of the terminal. He will think about moving everything Android 10 but the manufacturer ensures that soon it will be possible to update it to Android 11.
