14 DAY TRIAL // The Chinese version of Motorola DEFY+ has just arrived in Hong Kong. The smartphone is called DEFY XT535 and is now available for purchase from authorized Motorola resellers for 2,198 HKD (285 USD or 225 EUR) off-contract.
Just like most smartphones in the DEFY series, the XT535 is IP67 certified, which makes it dust and water proof (up to 1m for 30 mins). The phone’s design has been changed and now looks more like the DEFY MINI rather than the old DEFY+.
Built to last, Motorola DEFY XT535 sports a 3.7-inch capacitive touchscreen display (480 x 854 pixels), which features Corning Gorilla Glass coating. The smartphone is less than 12mm thin, which makes it more than 1mm thinner than the previous Motorola DEFY+ model.
Customers living in Hong Kong can now grab the original black with stylish black dust trim version, but additional color-themes might be added in the future.
The DEFY XT535 is powered by Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system integrated with MotoSwitch user interface. The latter enables the smartphone to learn who the users talk to and which apps they use most and keeps all of that information front and center.
On the back, the device packs a 5-megapixel photo snapper with autofocus and LED flash, while in the front there’s a secondary VGA camera for video calls.
Motorola DEFY XT535 is equipped with a 1 GHz single-core processor, 512MB of RAM, 1GB of ROM and microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 32GB).
Another strong point of the phone is the long-lasting 1650 mAh Li-Ion battery, which is rated by the manufacturer for up 12 days of standby time or up to 9 hours of talk time.
“Motorola DEFY XT 535 takes life-proof to the next level with a sharper camera, bigger screen and faster processing power.Now you can stay connected all day long, through every adventure, and share your fun with everyone who matters most to you,” said Ritchie Ma, general manager of Motorola Mobility Taiwan Limited, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
