Our Opinion:

Motorola Defy Plus launch date and price in India is yet to be announced. However, if it comes to India it should come with a price of tag of Rs.22,000 to 24,000. With the adverse weather conditions handling capacity and impressive hardware, Motorola Defy Plus can be good buy in that price range. However, if it is priced above 24,000, then it will lose to the kinds of Galaxy S2 , Optimus 2X and HTC Sensation.
