The Motorola Defy, which is a kind of “ruggedised” and durable Android phone that’s seemingly being pitched at the ultra-clumsy smartphone user, has been put through its paces by retailer Expansys.
They dropped it on the floor. And put it in a glass of water. And did a video of it. It’s an amazing piece of cinéma vérité.
And yes, it worked after. If you’re now won over and like the idea of a phone that has a couple of very clever physical party tricks, the Motorola Defy will soon be ready for ordering on Expansys. Check out the pre-order page here for tech specs and the like.
It’s smooth to use, the 1080p display is sharp, clear and bright, the device is extremely light and thin and therefore very pocketable and portable — much more so than other 5-inch phones we’ve used. And yet… we’re a bit unimpressed by the overall package…
A relatively high-spec smartphone, with a 4.5″ display running at 480 x 854 resolution and powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, plus the Ascend G510 arrives running Android 4.1.1 — albeit potentially hindered by Huawei only sticking 512MB of RAM inside it..
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?
