Motorola Defy Plus Overview

The Motorola DEFY+ is a follow-up to the original phone that Motorola dubbed "life proof". A rugged mid-range contender that can stand up to a beating, the DEFY+ looks to build on those same values with a bit more beef inside.

You'll be getting a 5 megapixel camera, a 1GHz processor and a 1700mAh battery. Inside is also a meager 2GB of internal storage but this can be expanded with a microSD card. Not much else is known specs-wise right now, but we do know it should be here early autumn in Asia, Europe and Latin America.

Motorola Defy Plus Reviews

The Verge
A year later, and Motorola has released the Defy+ — a phone that on the outside looks remarkably similar to the original, down to the capacitive buttons, locking back, and camera, with an upgrade to Android 2.3 and a slight processor bump as the only notable spec increases.
CNET
If you're looking for a phone that can survive your "Xtreme" lifestyle, then the Defy+ is at the top of its game. But it's a shame that this rugged exterior doesn't protect a better smartphone experience.
Pocket Lint
The follow up to, you guessed it, the Defy, the new handset offers a few improvements that should make it a better bet for people who need a rugged phone.
Phone Arena
Meet the Motorola DEFY+! It's pretty much the same phone, but equipped with a slightly better processor – the TI OMAP 3620, clocked at 1GHz, replacing the OMAP 3610 800MHz one found in the original, and an updated OS, in this case – Gingerbread.
