Motorola Mobility Introduces Motorola DEFY™ XT and DEFY™ MINI

Press Release: 

NEW DELHI, India – 8 June 2012 – Say hello to the smartphones that defy expectations. Water-resistant, scratch-resistant, dust-proof, and featuring large batteries for amplified battery life, the Motorola DEFY™ XT and dual-SIM Motorola DEFY™ MINI set you up for social survival wherever you decide to go, making sure you stay connected for longer.

The phones’ crystal-clear Corning® Gorilla® Glass touchscreens --3.7-inch for Motorola DEFY XT and 3.2-inch for DEFY MINI-- and colourful displays are great for email, texting and browsing the Web. And don’t worry about battery life. Both Motorola DEFY XT and Motorola DEFY MINI come with an extra powerful 1650mAh battery giving Motorola DEFY XT 9.5 hrs hours of talk time and Motorola DEFY MINI 9 hours of talk time. You’ll stay entertained and informed all day and into the night.

The Motorola DEFY XT sports a 5-megapixel camera and the Motorola DEFY MINI a 3-megapixel camera. Both come with VGA front-facing cameras to connect with friends while you’re commuting or just relaxing at home. Featuring an intuitive interface with social and activity widgets, you can instantly share all the fun you’re having with your friends.

The Motorola DEFY XT and DEFY MINI also have the brains to know what matters to you most and how to get it to you fast. They are the first smartphones in India to feature MotoSwitch, a handy user interface which learns the songs you love, who you talk to most and which apps you get the most mileage from. It then cleverly collects all your preferences and stores them, which means you’ll be so organised you’ll have loads of extra time on your hands.

But don’t worry… your boredom won’t last long. Since Motorola DEFY XT and Motorola DEFY MINI are Android^™-powered smartphones, you’ll have immediate access to more than 500,000 games, apps, music, books and movies available on Google Play^™.

“Our original Motorola DEFY was a hit all over Asia. We are now expanding our portfolio of water-resistant smartphones to give you more choices without having to break your wallet,” said Rajan Chawla, country head (sales and operations), India, Motorola Mobility. “Now you can stay connected all day long, through every adventure, and share your fun with everyone who matters most to you.”
