Nah, the og motorola defy had removable battery, ip67 rating, expandable storage, and a headphone jack. It was a tiny phone and it was brilliant.

@Know_not_Scotty_does @riodoro1 for some reason when I was 16 I really wanted the Defy Mini (XT320)

Though it wasn't ever cheap enough for my allowance 🤣 probably for the best, my first android smartphone came a couple years later in the Vodafone Smart 4 Turbo. (snapdragon 410 version)

They were great little phones. I miss that form factor so much. The closest recent ones were the xperia z3 and z5 compacts they were about perfect but did not have removable battery. Then sony ditched that form for their 21:9 shapes and the price went through the roof.
