Motorola often present with a design that can not. Just look at the design style Backflip or hood-like screen cover on a 3G Lucky. But it is not so visible at a glance Defy the same as many other touch screen smartphone.
Defy Android may be said most formidable current. Because Motorola is claiming that the phone is anti-dust, anti-water and scratch resistant. And although not displayed in the design, at least Defy toughness represented by the choice of material. Defy using rubber-coated plastic in the back and the gorilla glass that meets the front sector.
All around, the user can find the 7 pieces bolt directly exposed to typical outdoor mobile phone. Also available also fired rubber cover that protects the audio access gate micro USB 3.5mm and which serves to connect the data cable and charger.
Power button is placed on the top and right beside the phone volume control. While capacitive buttons 4 pieces to accompany the display on the front. The Button available from left to right is the menu button, home, back and search.
Display & Menu
Defy using capacitive touch screen TFT LCD 3.7 inch width, a screen size that is not too big but enough to support a classmate's Android operating system performance. Defy the touch screen also works very well while he was in the hands of PULSE, the response is fast and convenient way to move between menus. Display menu is equally slick thanks to WVGA resolution of 480 x 854 pixels.
Defy homescreen
Defy the homescreen panels have 7 fruit that is rich in useful shortcuts and widgets. As usual, to move from one panel to other users simply wipe the screen to the right or left. There are also 3 pieces virtual buttons on the screen at below when users are on the homescreen, each to get to the phone features, the main menu and contacts.
Notification Tray (upper), Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS, Airplane Mode Toggle (bottom)
As with several other Android smartphone, of course Defy also features a tray notification which can be accessed at any time by sweeping the screen down from the top. What is different, the notification tray is not an option for ease of control wifi, Bluetooth, GPS and airplane mode. Controls are provided on one panel homescreen in the form of widgets.
Main Menu
To reach the main menu, simply press the virtual keys with circle symbol in the middle at the bottom of the screen. On the main menu the user can directly access the various features and applications on the Defy. A number of applications displayed in the form of grid which extends downward.
Lifeproof
On the packing box Defy, Motorola also mention that this phone will survive a variety of circumstances such as extreme dust up to the ability of anti-water and scratches. Unfortunately this is not supported by official certification from certain parties which are usually owned by an outdoor mobile phone.
I had tried to pour water in considerable amounts on the Defy. The result does not look damage or changes to Defy performance before and after soaked in water.
I also test the strength of anti-scratch on Defy the scratch it using rough objects such as keys and coins at the screen and battery cover Defy. According it, Defy is a tough Android.
Internet & Connectivity
Not only in the face of extreme conditions, Defy also be counted on to surf. In addition to its dual-band HSDPA connectivity are supported, this is also thanks to support feature-rich browser-owned Defy.
Defy the browser features a multi-windows browsing, allowing users to open multiple sites within the same address. To access this feature simply press the menu button and select new window to open a new window, or windows to switch to other windows that are running.
Browser
Although still based on Android eclair, Defy browser already supports flash by default without having to install the flash player through the Android Market.
In addition to using the path operators, users can also use the path Defy wifi when in areas covered by the hotspot. Defy DLNA feature where users can play a variety of media (images, audio and video) on a computer that is in the same WLAN network are connected to the Defy.
DLNA & Phone Portal
The most interesting part of the course Defy connectivity features phone portal that allows users to explore the contents of your phone using a web browser on a PC or other device located on a same network via wifi. In addition to using wifi phone portal can also be used via a USB data cable.
Camera Interface
Interface to Defy the camera feature can be said to be very simple. Users will only see the virtual shutter button to the right of the screen and to the left of the screen to see several icons that represent the settings and features that are currently active. Who's to access the scene selection settings, effects, flash and switch to video recorder feature, users can wipe the screen from the right side to the left.
Other settings such as camera resolution and amount of exposure can be viewed by pressing the menu button and select settings. Defy the camera catches pretty good, just that when shooting with the human object in a makeshift lighting conditions such as indoors, the photos show tertampak skintone darker than the original.
Switch to a video recorder, hardly any difference in the interface with the camera feature photo. However, Defy has not been able to record video in 720p HD format. While the same features already available on some other smartphones that play in the class hi-end.
Audio Video
Music Player with WikiTune
There are interesting from a music player on Motorola Defy. By default, the Defy integrated music player with 2 popular music applications. The first, Defy integrate music player with lyric search application, Tune Wiki. When PULSE try play a song, on view now playing posted the lyrics at the bottom of the screen. Lyrics automatically changes over the song.
To show you the entire lyrics of the user can press the area to display the lyrics earlier. There are requirements that must be fulfilled so that users can enjoy these features, namely tag (information about the singer and the title track, can be edited using a computer) in mp3 files which must be played correctly.
Music Player with Sound Hound
Besides Tune Wiki, Defy the music player is also integrated with Sound Hound Song Identification in the form of features. Features provided, of course, to seek information about the title song, singer, until the name of the file currently playing album. Unfortunately, the tag search results can not be saved as a file identity. In addition to seeking information on the song playing on the phone, Sound Hound can also identify the song playing on another device or even sung by the user.
The same features are usually available in the form of third-party applications.
Switching to the video player. This feature can be found by accessing the gallery on the main menu options. Unfortunately the video player Defy somewhat contrary to its music player, because I do not find the interface or features attractive when accessed.
Conclusion
Title seems to fit with powerful smartphone Defy, and another great concept though outdoor Motorolla not only focus on the hardware and design Defy. This is evident with pinned some of the advanced features on Android operating system used. Just basket Phone Portal features that allow users Defy make sharing files via a web browser. Defy Not to mention the music player feature-rich. Although the same advantages can be obtained on the smartphone Android berbasisi others, but at least Motorola provide it by default.
