Motorola Defy (2021) review: no case required

Motorola released the second edition of their Defy mobile phone this year — the Motorola Defy (2021). Just as its ten-year old predecessor, the new Defy is constructed with a rugged design and aimed at a specific type of user— one who's regularly in...

Motorola Defy (2021) review

Motorola returns to the rugged phone space with an affordable and impressively tough handset. But the Defy has considerable trade-offs

The Motorola Defy lives up to its classic branding with an extremely tough yet surprisingly easy to live with handset that doesn’t cost the earth, but with inevitable compromises.
