The Motorola Defy 2 - a rugged 5G smartphone with satellite connectivity powered by MediaTek

The Motorola Defy 2 is an advanced 5G rugged Android smartphone. Fast and responsive, powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 930 and MediaTek's state of the art NTN (non-terrestrial network) chip, the Defy 2 can cope with the stress of day-to-day life and outdoor adventures, while providing unique always-on connectivity using Bullitt Satellite Messenger service.

Featuring a 6.6-inch display with full HD+ resolution and a fast 120Hz refresh rate, the impressive display gives ample viewing space. Inside, the MediaTek Dimensity 930 provides a highly efficient octa-core CPU featuring Arm Cortex-A78 processors that ensure fast peak processing speeds. In addition, the chip provides highly capable 3D graphics, and a fully integrated 5G modem with Carrier Aggregation. Meanwhile, a generous 5000mAh battery ensures power for long-term use.

"Satellite technology for any smartphone is the next big step in mobile connectivity, and what MediaTek has delivered with its stand-alone, standards-based satellite communications chip. We successfully worked with Bullitt, integrating our 3GPP NTN technology and chipset into the world's first commercially available devices with two-way satellite messaging," said JC Hsu, Corporate Vice President and General Manager of MediaTek’s wireless communications business unit. "It’s a significant advancement for remote users and emergency services but this technology also paves the way for other unique smartphone satellite communication and connectivity markets.”
