Hong Kong is being treated to Motorola’s latest innovation in Smartphones with the introduction of the newly designed XT 535 DEFY smartphone. Possibly the greatest thing about it is the Gorilla Glass brand impact and scratch resistant, touch-screen from Corning. The water proof shell combined with the new screen lets users stop worrying about whether it’s safe to take their phone along for the ride.
