The Motorola Defy (2021) Price in Nigeria and Slot is 280,800 Naira, and this includes Lagos, Abuja, Kano, Rivers, Ogun, Oyo, Delta, Kaduna, Edo, Enugu, PortHarcourt, Ibadan, Benin, Owerri, Warri.

Motorola rebooted its iconic Defy series in 2021 with a focus on durability rather than high-end specs. Here are my thoughts on using it as a rugged beater phone.

Design and Build

Right out of the box, the Motorola Defy (2021) impresses with its solid build quality. The plastic and glass design feels tough, aided by its 10.9mm thickness. Despite the chunky form factor, it’s comfortable to hold and operate one-handed.

Display

While only 720p, the Motorola Defy (2021) 6.5-inch LCD screen is sharp enough. Outdoor visibility is good thanks to adequate peak brightness. The fact that it’s protected by Gorilla Glass Victus adds to its rugged credentials.

Performance

Powering the Motorola Defy (2021) is the mid-range Snapdragon 662 chipset. It handles daily tasks smoothly without animation lags. Moderate usage like browsing, calls, and social media work well. Gaming performance is just about playable.

Cameras

Daylight photos from the 48MP main camera have plenty of details. The 2MP macro and depth cameras add a bit of versatility. Selfies are passable for video calls. Low-light photos see noticeable noise.

Battery Life

The beefy 5000mAh battery provided consistently long life under mixed usage. It easily lasted over a day and a half between charges which is impressive.

Ruggedness

As an actual rugged phone, the Defy delivers on promises of an IP68 rating, 1.8m drop resistance, and MIL-STD 810H certification. It handles splashes, dust, and drops with ease.

While not for power users, the Motorola Defy (2021) succeeds as an affordable yet durable companion capable of handling life’s bumps and drops. Its rugged qualities make it perfect for rugged sites or outdoor activities.
