Doogee Blade 20 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Doogee Blade 20 - autonomy, durability and low price

Inexpensive phones with water protection according to IP68 standards have come a long way in evolution over the past few years, but the vast majority of such devices are still not considered balanced and capable of fully satisfying the needs of a modern sophisticated user. The hero of today's review does not revolutionize the segment either, but at the same time it has a couple of pronounced competitive advantages that are ready to attract many buyers.

The appearance of the new product is quite good considering its price tag. A variety of colors of the back panels with a matte texture, a beautiful block of photo modules with a circle LED, reminiscent of the era of Meizu products, the current design of the 8-megapixel selfie camera, a side fingerprint scanner allow you to give the exterior a positive assessment and pay less attention to its excessive dimensions. You need to understand that they are caused by both protection from dust and moisture, and a huge battery of 10300 mAh. It will be enough for 4-5 days of active use of the monoblock, but it takes a long time to charge, about seven hours (the charging power was 18W). The IPS screen used received a resolution of 1612x720 pixels, so the image clarity is low. But the advantages include a 90 Hz refresh rate, natural color rendition. But the brightness is modest.

The technical characteristics include the UNISOC Tiger T606 CPU, 4 GB of RAM and the Mali G57MC1 video accelerator. The combination does not surprise with its performance, but for the price category it is close to optimal. The Android 15 interface is sometimes thoughtful, but is not replete with frequent lags. The gaming capabilities of the chipset are limited, only undemanding or old 3D games like PUBG Mobile will launch with an acceptable frame rate. 128 GB of permanent memory is allocated, but it can be easily expanded with MicroSD cards.

The need to maintain a reasonable cost has had the most serious impact on the photo capabilities. The main 16 and 0.3 megapixel cameras are more suitable for document capture. The sensors are mediocre at capturing artistic images even in ideal lighting. There is no stereo sound, and one speaker does not impress with its volume or bass sound. But don't dwell on the cons. Among the additional advantages, we highlight contactless NFC payments. Thus, we have a long-lasting and durable device, the purchase of which is unlikely to upset you.
