Motorola Defy vs Garmin InReach (www.xda-developers.com)

I have an InReach Mini 2 but am thinking about picking up a Motorola Defy to try as an alternative.

I'm mostly out day-hiking, but usually in remote areas which are sparsely-populated where cell signal is inconsistent. Only a few times a year am I lucky enough to find time for multiple-day hikes.

Garmin is reliable, and I'm in their ecosystem with my watch, too.

But I'm a sucker for new tech, and the Defy looks interesting.

Anyone have any thoughts either way?

Have you found any articles comparing the two IRL, rather than just by specs? I've struck out looking for YouTube videos. I expect that's due to the Defy being new.
