Motorola has launched its new rugged smartphone, the Defy. Successor to the Defy (2021), it brings two-way satellite messaging for the first time in the lineup.

Let’s get into the specs, features, and expected price of the Motorola Defy 2 and Defy Satellite Link in Nepal.

Motorola Defy 2 Rugged Smartphone:

Robust Design

No prize for guessing, the Motorola Defy 2 boasts a robust design. The phone bags a Mil-STD-810H certification like its predecessor, which proves its sturdiness and durability in extremely high and low-temperature environments, salt mist conditions, humid scenarios, vibration, and tumble tests. It can withstand extreme temperatures (-30°C/-22°F to 75°C/167°F) for up to 24 hours.

Furthermore, the device can be sanitized with cleaning alcohol or soap and water. Even, the external surface of the rugged phone is antibacterial and antimicrobial, thanks to Bullitt’s Hygiene+ technology.

Two Way Satellite Connectivity

One of the key highlights of the phone is its two-way satellite connectivity. Motorola has integrated a NTN (direct-to-device) service based on 3GPP standards into the handset to send and receive messages via satellite, making it the first commercial phone to do so.

With this, the Defy 2 will provide continuous international coverage over existing, well-established infrastructure. Surprisingly, you can use this service to send messages to any smartphone, even if their device does not support satellite connectivity. The message will be delivered to those individuals via SMS. While for reply, they need to download Bullitt Satellite Messenger app.

The messages uses Unicode encoding which includes all writing systems and the text size is limited to 140KB at max. Such satellite messages can be attached with the user’s location as well.
