Released September, 2011
Rated 60% by by The Verge (Feb, 2012)The images produced by the 5-megapixel sensor are average for a phone — color reproduction is reasonably accurate if occasionally a little blue, and when you’re shooting a still object you’re likely to be pleased with the results.
Rated 90% by by TrustedReviews (Jul, 2012)It's wonderfully sharp and detailed and produces pretty good colours, though it can't quite match the saturation and contrast of AMOLED displays.

DEFY+ by The Verge (Feb, 2012)While I'd prefer a slightly larger display, for its size the Defy+ doesn't do a bad job.

DEFY+ by TrustedReviews (Dec, 2011)Now, a year on, the Defy is back with a faster processor and… well, that's it actually.
DEFY by ert_medic (Jul, 2012)If this phone was 4g with a dual core processor and a front facing camera, I'd give it 5 stars without hesitating.

DEFY+ by TrustedReviews (Dec, 2011)Although modest in terms of specs, the 5 megapixel camera actually takes quite a nice shot, getting exposure and colouration right, even if every detail isn't captured.

Performance Real world tests of Motorola DEFY+ vs Motorola DEFY
cpu speed
DEFY+ by The Verge (Feb, 2012)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.
DEFY by Garth-Todd (Apr, 2011)This phone has an 800MHz processor (same speed as the original Droid) and rarely lags, hangs up, or freezes on me.

DEFY+ by TrustedReviews (Dec, 2011)What would be a really neat addition to a subsequent model would be a similar touch charging mechanism to that seen on the HTC Rhyme, thus saving you having to remove the sealing flap from the microUSB port every time you want to charge it.
