Doogee Fire 7 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Doogee Fire 7 - a lost hit

Unfortunately, the Chinese company Doogee is not stable in the release of commercially successful and competitive smartphones. Sometimes models come out of its conveyor, the relevance of which is destroyed by literally a couple of strange decisions of the manufacturer. The hero of today's review belongs to such a group of devices.

The appearance of the new product is not bad for the category of devices with moisture protection according to IP68 standards. Yes, the huge dimensions of the rubberized case, its enormous weight, as well as the wide display frames are with us again. But the side fingerprint scanner, the beautiful texture of the back panel made of high-quality plastic, an unusual, memorable block of photo modules allow the exterior to look modern. But the IPS screen used disappoints with almost all its parameters. The HD + resolution will not pamper you with the clarity of the displayed image, there is no large reserve of brightness for interacting with a mobile assistant in direct sunlight, and natural color rendition. Only the 90Hz refresh rate saves the situation a little.

The technical characteristics are extremely controversial. The current MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor with 5G network support and the Mali G57MC2 video core work in tandem with only 4GB of RAM, which significantly restrains the CPU potential. If the Android 15 interface functions quite stably, then you will have to forget about demanding gaming applications. There will be lags and even crashes to the desktop. But the autonomy is excellent. A fantastic 13000mAh battery will give about 5-6 days of work with the phablet, but the charging power is ridiculous for such a capacity (18W). The internal storage is 256GB, it can be expanded with MicroSD cards.

The photo capabilities are good for the cost segment. It is better not to take into account the 2-megapixel auxiliary macro module, but the 64-megapixel Sony IMX682 sensor, although it did not get optical stabilization, copes with artistic shooting. However, it is recommended to take photos in daylight, and also to avoid an abundance of dynamic objects in the scene. There is no stereo sound, one speaker. The sound is loud, but not particularly balanced in terms of frequency response. NFC contactless payments are available. As a result, a potentially interesting gadget is spoiled by a mediocre screen and a small amount of RAM.
