Doogee V20S Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

DOOGEE V20S - bright durability

Inexpensive smartphones with water protection according to IP68 standards are becoming more beautiful and technologically advanced every day. If a few years ago users dreamed of getting a durable, yet functional phone, today experienced manufacturers like the Chinese company Doogee are ready to provide an original and memorable device with an abundance of competitive advantages at a more than reasonable price.

The appearance of the new product turned out to be extremely interesting. Of course, it was not possible to completely get rid of the problem of protected devices, so the rubberized case is heavy and quite bulky. But the exterior pleases with an additional AMOLED display (receiving/rejecting calls, displaying notifications, controlling the media player, etc.), a graceful camera unit, stylish colors of the rear panels, and a side fingerprint scanner. The main 6.43-inch AMOLED screen did not receive an increased picture refresh rate, but it is impressive with a large reserve of brightness, high FullHD+ resolution and natural color reproduction.

The technical characteristics were the MediaTek Dimensity 6020 CPU with support for 5G networks, 12GB of RAM and the Mali G57MC2 video accelerator, aimed primarily at providing a smooth Android 13 interface and increasing the autonomy of the mobile assistant. As a result, a 6000 mAh battery often lasts 2-3 days of active use of the device. The battery also has fast charging with a power of 33W. As for gaming capabilities, the chipset can handle 99% of modern games, but in demanding projects you can only rely on minimal graphics settings. They didn’t skimp on the amount of internal memory: 256GB of ROM can always be expanded with a MicroSD card. True, in this case it will no longer be possible to use a pair of SIM cards.

The set of cameras is as follows: a 50-megapixel main sensor, a 24-megapixel monochrome night vision lens and an 8-megapixel wide-angle module. The combination is suitable for daytime photography, but due to the lack of optical stabilization, evening shots will often disappoint with detail and noise. There is stereo sound; you can also enjoy your favorite music with wired headphones, for which there is a separate connector. NFC contactless payment and a high-quality 20-megapixel selfie camera complete the considerable list of advantages of the current gadget.
