Motorola Mobility Introduces Two Stylish Smartphones That Break Boundaries, but Won't Break the Bank

LIBERTYVILLE, Ill., Jan. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- This spring, Motorola Mobility, Inc. (NYSE: MMI) is helping you flaunt your individuality by adding two stylish and unique Android™ 2.3 (Gingerbread) powered smartphones to its growing budget-friendly portfolio. MOTOLUXE is a hip, slim touchscreen device and Motorola DEFY MINI is dustproof and water-resistant, making it the ideal "life proof" phone for active users. And they come in different shapes, sizes and colors – so you can choose a phone that best reflects your personality.

No matter what device you choose, Motorola's MotoSwitch user interface changes the way you manage your life. With MotoSwitch, your smartphone learns who you talk to and which apps you use and keeps all of that information front and center. The Social Graph feature gives you easy and fast access to the people who really matter. It learns who's most important to you and uses that information to populate the home screen. The more frequently you communicate with someone, the bigger their icon becomes. The Activity Graph gives you quick and easy access to your favorite apps, automatically changing to reflect the apps you use the most. With Music Now you can easily play your favorite music while the Smart Gallery displays your favorite pictures as collections.

With Google Mobile^™ services you'll be able to search for anything with Google Search^™, chat with your friends using Google Talk^™, or find your way anywhere you want to go with Google Maps^™ with navigation.

Strike While the Iron Is Hot
The ultra-vogue, very-slim, MOTOLUXE sets the bar high in terms of style with a 4-inch edge-to-edge touchscreen display. This hip device is perfect for writing emails, surfing the Web and watching movies. And, for the amateur photographers out there, the 8-megapixel autofocus camera with flash lets you shoot like a pro and capture life clearly and fully.

MOTOLUXE also sets itself apart with a lanyard slot that has a lighting effect. So you can see when you've missed a call, received a text or have an email waiting for you.

Other cool stuff includes:

• Front-facing VGA camera for video chatting with friends and family
• Available in licorice or white
• 1400 mAh battery for up to 6.5 hours of talk time, 19 days of standby time

Strong and Sturdy
Water-resistant, dust-proof and with a scratch resistant Corning® Gorilla® Glass display, Motorola DEFY MINI is the ideal smartphone for active users who need a device as resilient as they are. With a 3.2-inch touchscreen good for emailing, texting and browsing the Web, and a long battery-life, you can keep this phone on and by your side all day long no matter where you go, so you'll never miss a beat.

But wait... there's more:

• Front-facing VGA camera for video chatting with friends and family
• Easy access to all your favorite outdoor apps with the "Instrument Dashboard"
