I don't know why it has proven so durable, but I'm still using a Motorola-branded charger and microUSB cable that came with a Defy+, around 2012.

  The original Defy (2010) was the best phone I had ever owned. Water resistant, hardy, high resolution and very, very pocketable. I think the folks on XDA kept OS updates available till Android 7.

    No, it did not go beyond 4.4. 5.0 has been booted on it but never got any further, mostly due to the fact that nobody got a 3.x kernel running satisfactorily on the device. I do use one with a 3.1 kernel (running MPD) but all the others are still at 2.6.

    Sadly, I can't say the same of my experience with the Defy+. I found it quite disappointing. Small screen, bulky case (that was fragile and broke around the external screws), and not much more wear and water resistant than a regular phone. I dug it out recently and sold it on ebay, although I'm not sure what can be done with a phone stuck with an old version of the play store.

  Same here, including the Defy+ itself. I have a slew of them doing duty as work phone, trailer camera, media player and such.
