Review: Motorola Defy XT
,


if you're looking for a cheap handset that should stand up to the demands of your outdoor activities, the Defy should do the job. Be warned that the handset's single-core performance is quite the letdown, though.



If you're a person who spends a lot of time outdoors, you may realize that your phone selections are pretty limited. You'll need a handset that can take some rough handling and also be resistant to the elements. There's the Sony Ericsson Xperia active, Xperia go, as well as the original Motorola Defy which gets a replacement in the form of the Defy XT.
Design

Roughly similar in size to the Apple iPhone and just 11.95mm thick, the Defy XT boasts a 3.7-inch FWGA (854 x 480 pixels) display. Compared with the IPS, Super LCD and AMOLED displays of most phones, the TFT LCD panel was a little lackluster. Colors just weren't as vibrant or sharp.

The phone is also pretty lightweight at 115g, but it's got a good grip thanks to its rubbery exterior. You don't have to panic if it gets some water spilled on it either, as the handset is water and dust resistant. Ports such as the micro-USB and 3.5mm audio jack are covered with a detachable plastic cover, and the back casing can only be removed when it's unlocked.

Once you do, you'll have access to the microSD card slot, which allows you to do hot-swapping. The SIM card slot is located under the battery.

Since the Defy XT is running Android 2.1 (Gingerbread), the handset has four touch-sensitive buttons located at the bottom.
Features

The key feature of the Defy XT is that it's both dust- and water-resistant with a rating of IP67. We put the unit through some splashes and found that it still worked fine. Unlike the Xperia active and go though, it does not have wet finger tracking, which means you have to dry your fingers (and the screen) if you want to use the handset.

Motorola has customised the UI, and the phone comes with widgets such as the MotoSwitch, which loads your most frequently accessed apps. It's not too bad, but we prefer manually arranging our apps on the home screen instead.

One minor quibble with the Defy XT is that its Gingerbread OS rotates the screen automatically. This can be quite a pain when you're at the home screen, especially for those using the handset while lying down. The laggy response makes it quite frustrating as you'll have to wait a while for everything to readjust. There is a screen lock feature, but there's no handy shortcut button to unlock it for when you need to switch to a wider landscape mode.

Connectivity-wise, the handset comes loaded with HSPA, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and A-GPS.

The 5-megapixel camera was quite a disappointment after using higher-end devices.We found the white balance off most of the time when indoors, and these images ended up with quite a bit of noise, too. Autofocus was a little slow as well, and there was notificable shutter lag.
Performance

Unfortunately, performance is another aspect the handset is lacking in. Running on a single-core 1GHz processor, the Defy XT was often laggy. Scrolling was especially painful when browsing the Web. We didn't encounter this problem with the Galaxy Ace 2, which uses a dual-core 800MHz processor.

Battery life, on the other hand, was great. Packed into the Defy XT's somewhat tiny frame is a 1,700mAh battery and we got almost two days worth of uptime with light to moderate use on our standard test settings (which has Facebook, Twitter and two Gmail accounts on push).

This is mainly due to Motorola's built-in power-saving schemes. The default Nighttime saver turns off all data syncing after 15 minutes during off-peak hours (10pm to 5am), though it turns back on when you start using the smartphone.

Voice clarity seemed to be fine, and the phone's built-in speakers were loud enough to be heard while in the pocket when we received alerts and notifications.
Conclusion

Retailing at S$399 without an operator contract in Singapore, the Defy XT could be the handset of choice for sporty outdoor types, but given the performance hangups, it may be a good idea to wait for the Xperia go instead. Honestly, the Defy XT could use a much needed hardware update to stay relevant to modern users--it feels really dated at this point, like it was intended to compete with last year's Xperia active.
