Furthermore, the DEFY+ is equipped with a single core TI OMAP 3620 processor clocked at 1 GHz, which is complemented by a PowerVR SGX530 graphics processing unit.
In addition, the phone packs 2GB of onboard memory, 512MB of RAM, 1 GB of ROM and microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 32GB, 2GB memory card included).
The smartphone is IP67 certified for dust and water resistance, and features Corning Gorilla Glass coating. It comes with a decent 3.7-inch capacitive touchscreen display that supports 480 x 854 pixels resolution and 16 million colors.
There’s also a 5-megapixel photo snapper on the back, as well as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support, along with HSDPA and HSUPA.
