Motorola Defy XT535

Well looks like they launched a "new" Defy but with a front facing camera.
Still using Gingerbread...
Specs here.
Gonna buy Samsung next time for sure....

on photo there is much bezel, like defy mini, but screen size is 3.7
Qualcom instead of TI, probably weaker cpu and similar gpu
cpu: MSM7227A 1000 mhz (similar to defy mini, but higher clocked)
size: 115 × 58.5 × 11.95 mm (vs mb525 size: 107 × 59 × 13.4 mm )

I don't fancy that grill both in the front and in the back and i like the original one style better as it's simpler.
even if it was using the same chipset it's useless 'cause it's not using ics...

Motolux life proof would of been better.

Too bad, one of the greatest aspect of the 2 first defy is their ratio screen size / overall size...
Sent from my MB526 using XDA

Looks good IMO, although I wouldn't buy a new phone just because it has a front facing camera.

Looks dull to me, but has skype/videocall written all over it
defy+ v2.3.6 quarx cm9 ICS @1,2Ghz

:/ I don't really trust Moto anymore
Herpderp Defy.

　　three phones as well as three mobile phones, fully able to weather this long test. To the current location of the three mobile phone use, just three phones in the positioning a little different. XT535 almost out of the shadow of the three anti-aircraft, although not as good as the performance of the three anti-the other two, but it is the most thin and light in the most fashionable in these three a. ME525 + or partial life of some, but worthy of a phone that Motorola was seen as God Machine, three anti-liquidity still good. The NEC909e position is more closely tied to the traditional three mobile phones in the outdoors, design, This design improves the ability of the three defenses, is the winner of this test is more stable in the harsh environment NEC909e.

In Romanian there's a saying that translated into English would be "same Mary with a different had" (aceeasi Marie cu alta palarie).
After another 3-4 reincarnations this phone will eventually end up being a low-end one. Why would they spend resources on "new" models instead of giving the Defy+ ICS?
Does anyone understand Motorola's strategy? I DON'T!

Snapdragon beats tegra by far?

http://www.androidauthority.com/htc-one-xl-benchmark-snapdragon-s4-tegra-3-67678/
That means that middle range device (One S) would be faster than HTC's flagship?

Until the two devices are put side by side, all of this is just silly speculation really.
I mean, don't get me wrong, it's not impossible that they've dropped the ball but I'll be very shocked if
A) The S out performs the X
B) The XL is much, if any, faster than the X

i'm not sure ... but maybe the current benchmarks are simply not optimized for quad core processors. at least it is the only reason i could imagine ... why else should a dual core SoC perform better with the same GHz?

Amd fx 6core vs intel 4core i7 anyone? intel beats the amd cpu in terms of instructions per cycle

benchs are the easiest way to fool people, no wide margins here, they trade blows, T3 winds in true multitasking, 720p coverage and GPU, if we look at Antutu test T3 wins by large margins
Velloma is a test made by Qualcomm (Snapdragon makers) that doesn't scale linear across multi-core https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.quicinc.vellamo&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5xdWljaW5jLnZlbGxhbW8iXQ..
Qualcomm says that's because Antutu's tests scale linearly with the number of cores - in other words, it's using multiple cores too well, from Qualcomm's perspective. That means a quad-core processor has a huge advantage over a dual-core processor, even a very fast one, on that specific test.

guys Anandtech already posted benchmarks of both devices, the S is carrying the dual s4 minus LTE, T3 and s4 are trading blows, these processors are almost equal, however keep in mind T3 has to do with native resolution in some tests, which is 77% more pixels, its clear T3 is doing better and more suited for the 720p display

Again, we're showing a huge performance advantage here thanks to Krait. Seeing as how Vellamo is a Qualcomm benchmark don't get too attached to the advantage here, but it does echo some of what we've seen earlier.

decent for price
I needed a phone with more than 1GB RAM, and this was the only "budget" phone to fit that requirement.
I had had a Moto G for a while, and was getting tired of the sluggishness due to RAM maxed out.
I've had the 526 for a few weeks now.
I used the 526 on wifi only for a week to test it out, and it was ok.
After activating it, some things got better, some things I don't like, but overall, it's definitely worth the 90 bucks.
Compared to Moto G (XT1028):
Moto G has a better CPU and GPU. There's not much room for debate on this.
The 526 mostly keeps up, and has actually improved with usage, but there is noticable lag sometimes, on things like Bejeweld and Ingress, opening gallery and Hangouts. OMG, this phone does NOT like Hangouts; much lag, slow to open, slow to send messages, etc. Web rendering and G+ have been ok, as well as gmail and other email.​
526 has better display, bigger screen, prettier picture.
526 battery, although smaller, lasts a LOT longer.
I can actually go more than 24 hours without having to plug it up (Ingress notwithstanding).
I don't really understand how slightly smaller battery (only 2k mAH) can last longer when it's pushing a bigger screen and 4G (vs moto g 3g), but it does.​
526 camera blows the MotoG camera out of the water. the HTC camera app is pretty good as well.
HTC Sense UI is kinda annoying to me, and you can only use themes and icons from their own gallery. I felt like it was overpowering the little phone, so I installed go launcher and it's a tad better. I can usually idle with about 35% memory usage. I was sad to find that ADW Launcher doesn't play well with the Lollipop/SenseUI combination.
GPS is not as good as the moto g, but better than the LG G2 (which is HORRIBLE)
Other observations:
I don't know if it's the phone, or just crappy VZW signal where I'm at, but I find it dropping from 4G down to 3G quite a bit, and sometimes even 1x. Although, my MotoG was dropping from 3G to 1x quite a bit as well, so I kind of think it's more a VZW issue.
I use "Assistant for Android" to manage my device resources, on almost all my devices. On this HTC 526, I have been able to successfully disable more startup items than any other non-rooted device I've ever had. I found this surprisingly pleasant. I've been able to disable some VZW bloatware from running at startup that couldn't be disabled on the MotoG.
Same with some apps, and setting them to "disabled"; I was able to disable more apps than on other non-rooted phones I have. (i only have 4 of my 7 android devices rooted)
In summary, I the $90 is worth it for the extra 500MB or RAM - it makes a big difference.
Even though the CPU and GPU are a little laggy sometimes, it's within what I consider acceptable range for the price.
If you have $100 budgeted for a prepaid phone, I would go with the HTC Desire 526.
It's also acceptable for Ingress play as well, I just hope VZW is better in your area than mine.

got a new htc desire 526 from my dad in the US but i am in Africa, how can i unlock it to use a local network?

htc 526G
Hi guys
My phone is htc desire 526G (no +), with one sim (I´ve seen in the web another model htc 526G+ double sim).
With 1Gb ram, cpu quad core 1.3 Gh, 4,7 in. display, internal memory 8Gb, cameras 8 and 2 mp, android 4.4.2.,
The outside is the same as this model.
Does anybody has the same device?Any way to root it?

what much nits screen have ?

I read in somewhere S7 have nits over 800
so what about HTC 10 ?
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA-Developers mobile app

I believe HTC 10 has a pretty low 377. It's the one thing I dislike about the phone. Anything less than 500 is just not good enough for phones these days.

really !! is it 377 ?
is it enough or less for the phones ?
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA-Developers mobile app

377 is fine for most indoor uses. Still, it just seems ridiculously low. That's about equal to my G4 at 70% brightness. I like my display bright.

The 6P is 337 and the G5 is 354. It's fine.
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The LG G5 is supposed to hit upwards of 800 nits.
I do say "supposed to" . A few reviews claim it's somewhat dim while others say extremely bright.
I just hope the maximum brightness on the HTC 10 is at least as bright as my G4 at 75% - 80%.

Then there's the fact that the S7/S7E have an undefeatable power save mode which when it kicks in basically halves the brightness (and drops CPU clockspeeds) which also affects how the battery life tests playout vs the HTC 10.
I would expect the 10 to have around 400nits brightness, that's a little lower than what the M9 had. Certainly more than enough.

Strange.
According to these reviews:
http://www.alphr.com/htc-10/1003202...rtphone-return-to-form-but-still-not-the-best
http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/mobile-phones/1404600/htc-10-vs-lg-g5-which-is-best
Display maximum brightness is 449 nits (or cd/m^2). If it doesn't have brightness boost on direct sunlight like Samsung or LG, I will be disappointed.

No idea if those guys even know how to set max brightness. Lol.
I've tested both S7, S7 edge and M8 side by side. S7 edge is brighter than the S7 quite obviously, and FAR brighter than the M8. Which is brighter than the M9.
I'll test next to the HTC 10 soon, but I HIGHLY doubt it would be lower than M8.

Please report back.
It will be nice if you will be able to capture a picture of it next to other phones that are available to you...

Saw 1 video comparing 10 and g5 and both at 50% brightness reviewer commented how much brighter the 10 was.

More than I had as a kid in school? (Nits :laugh

TWRP 3.0.2 by Jemmini attached.
Hands on impressions
It is a nice phone as far as build quality is concerned. and there it ends.
CPU MT6737.
But a small battery of 2300mAh =1750mAh makes it difficult to use with ease.
Even with energy efficient MT6737CPU. it is weak performance of the battery.
CPU is clocked at 1.25MHz so it drains the battery.
Not very nice photos from the rear camera GC8024 sensor, 8MP. Photos with quit natural colors but a lot of noise and not sharp.
Generally nice with metal frame.
A bit greyish display typical for 60USD range.
Performance
The quad-core processor MediaTek MT6737 clocked at 1.3 GHz, has a Mali-T720 GPU and is at 1GB RAM associated. The 64-bit processor would should in any event on paper be better than MT6580. In practice it is the opposite. The framework is not running truly fluid, longer holding up times one should regularly acknowledge and when different applications running out of sight, the ZOPO Color F2 is truly moderate. Zopo Hero 2 / Color F2 is in this way appropriate for close to standard errands.
The touch screen is not accurate enough for high-speed recorder, the camera normal shooting unsuitable and the GPS a total failure.

With only 1Gb ram is really a crap device..
i understand the price range, but honestly 2Gb ram and decent battery are the minumim requirements to have a good chance to sell some units..

I agree as far as the battery is concerned. If 1GB was the only bad point than most devices like new Oukitel units and others in economy range 50-70 USD we should call crap.
But they sell some units anyway.
The battery and camera are the worst features in ZOPO Hero2 or F2 IMHO
