The first Motorola Defy was a comparable device to its competitors when it was released, and its big feature, being water-resistant, didn't make any compromises apart from rubber caps on the ports (not necessary in modern phones) and a better back cover with a manual latch.
Sealing phones isn't needed at all. It's a decision driven by the market makers.
- lupire 4y agoThe Defy weight over 8oz, a huge compromise. It's too heavy for the average personn to handle comfortably.

- vvillena 4y agoI'm talking about the first Defy, back in 2010. It weighted 118 gr (just over 4 oz), more or less the same as its competitors.
