Editorial report
Motorola Defy 2 technical sheet
The Motorola Defy 2 is for buyers seeking a rugged phone with protection against water, dust, and impacts. Its IP68, IP69, and MIL-STD-810H ratings come with a bulky build: at 268 g and 11.9 mm thick, it is heavier and thicker than most phones of its time.
The 6.6″ IPS LCD display has a pixel density of 400 ppi, higher than that of most phones launched around the same time. Its 120 Hz refresh rate is typical for the period. The MediaTek Dimensity 930 is paired with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, both below what most contemporaries offer; storage is expandable. The rear main camera has 50 MP, alongside an 8 MP ultrawide camera. Overall, the cameras and battery are typical for phones of its time.
The 5000 mAh battery supports 15 W wired charging, slower than on most phones of its time, and 15 W wireless charging, which is among the best of the period. Connectivity includes 5G, NFC, satellite connectivity, and Dual Nano-SIM, with typical overall standing among contemporaries. The Motorola Defy 2 is therefore a generally typical phone whose rugged protection is its defining feature, with an overall NeoScore of 6.1.
