Motorola DEFY XT Review
(XT556, XT557) Score: 51.2 / 100
Motorola DEFY XT is a mid-to-low level Android cellphone launched many years ago, featuring a good performance CPU running at 1 gigahertz, a 3.7-inches touch-screen, a 5 MP back camera and a 0.3 megapixels front facing camera.
Motorola appears to have forgotten about weight optimization in this 4.59 oz cellphone. This device is only for sale in black color.
Motorola equipped this cellphone with a very good 3.7-inches screen, and a 854 x 480 resolution, which makes everything look very nice. Its screen uses LCD capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.
This device comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 MSM7227A system chip, holding a great performance 1000 MHz processor with 512 MB RAM. Graphic intensive applications and games often uses a lot of processor time, so this phone also counts with an Adreno 200 (enhanced) graphics processing unit clocking at 200 MHz to help handle those graphic tasks. This cellphone has a 1 GB internal storage memory, a mediocre quantity that might be enough for basic users knowing that the Motorola DEFY XT also has an SD extension slot to store pictures and videos.
This cellphone provides wifi connectivity (but it can't provide it to other devices around, acting as a wireless modem) and 3G internet connection, supported by EV-DO A technologies. This cellphone works with a SIM card to use GSM services and it can use both CDMA and GSM carriers.
This phone features two cameras, a 5 megapixels back camera and a 0.3 MP front facing camera. This phone also counts with a few useful characteristics like auto-focus, flash and geo tagging.
This phone packs a 1650 mAh medium capacity replaceable battery, which is not really enough for a device like this. Motorola reports a talk time of 5.5 hs and a stand by time of 300 hs for this device.
This cellphone also includes a handful of interesting characteristics like Bluetooth, GPS (Global Positioning System) and Radio, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.
This phone is not a very good choice considering it costs $ 160, and some similar phones cost much less than that.
