Motorola Defy


Back in June 2021, Motorola launched the Defy rugged smartphone in the European market with specs like Gorilla Glass Victus protection, a triple camera setup, and a big battery. But despite its launch, the phone is still nowhere to be seen in Brazil. Now, the Motorola Defy has been approved by National Telecommunications Agency in Brazil hinting at a sooner launch. The certification shows a phone with model number XT2083-8 which is nothing but the Motorola Defy rugged smartphone. It has received approval from the Brazilian telecommunication authority confirming its release in the region.

Furthermore, TudoCelular has managed to share some of the phone’s images which gives us a clear look at the phone. The smartphone has a large display and boasts a triple camera setup with a 48MP main, a 2MP macro, and a 2MP depth. We also get to learn the details of the charging adapter. The adapter here has a 20W fast charging speed.

Other than this, the phone’s already available in some other European markets. It comes with a 6.5-inch dew-drop notch display with an HD+ resolution. It has Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection which is rare in budget-centric phones.

The smartphone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 processor with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of expandable storage. It packs a 5,000mAh battery with support for 20W fast charging. The phone comes with a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner and runs on Android 10 out of the box. Since it’s a rugged phone, it has an IP68 water-resistant rating and can be used in extreme temperatures from +55 degrees celsius to -25 degrees celsius.
