Motorola Defy Satellite Link now brings two-way satellite communication to iOS, Android in the US
A new device that makes off-grid communication easier and more affordable.
The Motorola Defy Satellite Link was launched some months back and is now finally making its US retail debut. The device makes it possible to communicate using satellites with existing Android or iOS smartphones in areas where cellular coverage might not be available. We've seen this type of feature explored for emergency purposes, but Motorola's device can be used for general two-way messaging if needed. The device is now available from a variety of retailers and will cost $149, which also includes a one-year subscription to the Essentials Messaging service plan.
Motorola Defy 2 is an affordable Android smartphone that features two-way satellite communication
Motorola is bringing two-way satellite communication to the masses, now offering the technology in its latest smartphone, the Defy 2.
Motorola has once again partnered with Bullitt Group to bring another two-way satellite communication device to market. While its first collaboration with Motorola was the Defy Satellite Link, this time, we're getting something a bit more interesting with the Defy 2 Android smartphone. This will be one of the first relatively affordable Android satellite smartphones on the market, beating out the likes of Samsung, OnePlus, and others.
Motorola Defy Satellite Link brings two-way satellite communication to iOS and Android devices for just $99
Motorola and Bullitt Group are partnering to introduce an affordable satellite communication device that is compatible with iOS and Android devices.
When Apple launched satellite service with its iPhone 14 line, many assumed that other manufacturers would immediately follow suit, but that actually hasn't been the case. Samsung launched its Galaxy S23 series without the feature, and we have yet to see it pop on other new Android handsets released over the past few weeks. But, that doesn't mean you soon won't be able to add the feature to your existing devices thanks to the newly announced Motorola Defy Satellite Link.
Motorola Defy successor will feature two-way satellite messaging
Motorola's next Defy handset will offer satellite communication thanks to a newly announced partnership with Bullitt.
Bullitt Group has announced that it will make its two-way satellite messaging service, Bullitt Satellite Connect, commercially available sometime in the first quarter of 2023. Furthermore, the company has also announced a partnership with Motorola, sharing that the next Defy smartphone will be the first Android handset available with its two-way satellite messaging service.

The original Motorola Defy was released in 2010 as one of the first Android phones with dust and water resistance, but the lineup didn't last beyond 2011, when Motorola shifted its attention to other phones.

Motorola Defy Refuses to Die, Receives Initial Lollipop Port
One of the most epic Android devices, the Motorola Defy, is very close to getting a highly functional Android Lollipop build.
For the great majority of devices, manufacturer-provided OS update support is rather short. Some of this is due to technical difficulties and a lack of consumer interest, but really it just comes down to profitability for the OEMs in question. Luckily, there are devices that have received extensive aftermarket development such as the HTC HD2, Samsung Galaxy S, and Motorola Defy, which have enjoyed unofficial Android updates far after they were EOLed by their respective manufacturers.
Do you remember all the way back to Android 2.1 Eclair? Yes? Maybe? It was released back in January 2010---almost 4 years ago. The Motorola Defy shipped with that OS. And now, years later, the Defy received a fresh build of KitKat, making it one of the first devices with just 512 megabytes of RAM to get the OS up and running.
