Comparisons Featuring Motorola DEFY XT XT556
Short Review
- The Motorola DEFY XT XT556 features a compact design with dimensions of 115 x 58.5 x 12 mm and a weight of 130g, making it portable and easy to handle.
- Its 3.7-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 265 ppi, suitable for basic tasks but lacking HDR support.
- Performance is driven by a 1.0 GHz CPU paired with 1GB of RAM, which is adequate for light usage but may struggle with multitasking.
- The camera system includes a 5 MP rear camera with autofocus, capable of recording video at 480p, while the absence of a front camera limits selfie capabilities.
- The 1650 mAh battery provides basic power, but lacks fast charging or wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), the software experience is quite dated compared to modern standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth, and microUSB 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is designed with a brown color scheme, though specific materials and water resistance details are not provided.
- Overall, the DEFY XT XT556 is a basic smartphone with limited features, suitable for users with minimal demands.
- Its design and build quality reflect its era, prioritizing portability over advanced specifications.
