Doogee V31 GT Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

DOOGEE V31 GT - an attempt to be a flagship

The Chinese company Doogee is trying not to lose its position in the fight against its main opponents in the form of Blackview, Oukitel and Ulefone. This fact is noticeable not only in the number of smartphones produced, but also in the appearance of many devices at the border of the middle and high price segments. The hero of today’s review, which is essentially the flagship phone in the manufacturer’s line, has become such.

The corporation's designers definitely tried to make the new product more attractive and at least partially hide the shortcomings inherent in devices with moisture protection according to the IP68 standard. Thus, it is difficult to contain positive emotions from the carbon texture of the rear panel, the excellent triple camera unit, and the fingerprint sensor on the metal side frame. The only pity is that the frames are more or less thin only on the sides of the display, and the dimensions and weight of the device still leave much to be desired. Operating such a gadget with one hand is by no means easy. The 6.58-inch screen is made using IPS technology, so you don’t need to expect a huge amount of brightness from it. But if you look at it less often in direct sunlight, you can find good picture detail at a resolution of 2400x1080 pixels, excellent smoothness at a 120-Hz image refresh rate.

The technical characteristics were a modern MediaTek Dimensity 1080 CPU, 12GB of RAM and a Mali G68 MC4 video accelerator. In addition to supporting 5G networks, the processor offers performance of 500 thousand points in the AnTuTu benchmark. This result guarantees the responsiveness of the Android 13 interface and the successful launch of the vast majority of applications and games. Gamers will receive impeccable gameplay stability in Call Of Duty and PUBG; the more resource-intensive Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail work well with low-medium graphics settings. It is unlikely that you will have to complain about autonomy given the energy efficiency of the chipset and a battery with a capacity of 10800 mAh. The battery provides approximately 3-4 days of active use of the mobile assistant. There is fast wired charging (66W). As for the size of the internal memory, it has been increased to 256GB. If necessary, you can always count on MicroSD cards.

An 8-megapixel wide-angle lens and a 24-megapixel monochrome night vision photo module are combined with the famous 50-megapixel Sony IMX766 sensor. It does not have optical stabilization, but it still copes with daytime and evening shooting better than its rivals. A small amount of noise is unable to spoil fairly detailed frames with natural color reproduction. There is only one speaker, but thanks to its impressive diameter it reproduces bass and provides a volume of almost 90dB. NFC and a real thermal imager add to the list of advantages of a bulky, but functional and productive phablet.
