Doogee S200 Max Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Doogee S200 Max - final improvements

The Chinese company Doogee squeezes everything possible out of its successful developments. Thus, fans of the brand saw a whole S200 series of rugged phones in the mid-price segment. The optimal combination of technical characteristics, a good design for the class and a number of other advantages made the line very popular. The hero of today's review brings the competitive advantages of gadgets to the maximum and completes their evolution.

The appearance of the new product is technologically advanced thanks to an additional 1.3-inch IPS display for displaying notifications and other information, a stylish camera block, a side fingerprint scanner, an attractive texture of the back panel with an abundance of pseudo-metallic elements. But the outdated form factor of the 20-megapixel selfie camera, huge screen frames and impressive weight and thickness of the monoblock will cause negative emotions. Unfortunately, the huge 20,000 mAh battery and IP69 water protection require sacrifices. But you only have to remember about sockets once every 4-5 days, and there is a fast 66W charger. The 6.72-inch IPS screen is not one of the device's strong points. It's all about the modest peak brightness of 500 nits, which is not enough to work with the device in direct sunlight. It is also difficult not to notice the faded color rendering against the background of AMOLED analogs. But at least the 120 Hz image refresh rate and FullHD+ resolution are in place.

The MediaTek Dimensity 7050 processor with 5G network support can already be called a standard for the cost category. Its combination with 16 GB of RAM and the Mali G68-MC4 video accelerator provides a reasonable 550 thousand points in the AnTuTu test. This result indicates the responsiveness of the Android 15 interface, not the most limited gaming capabilities. Fortnite and Zenless Zone Zero are playable, you just need to set low-medium graphics settings. 512 GB of permanent memory is allocated, MicroSD cards will definitely not be needed by every buyer.

Photo modules are still mediocre. The main 108-megapixel sensor from Samsung did not acquire optical stabilization, and the set of auxiliary modules is peculiar (20-megapixel night vision sensor and 2-megapixel macro camera, when users value wide-angle lenses and telephoto lenses much more). You will be able to get high-quality photos only for days. There is no stereo sound, but one speaker has a large diameter, it is quite loud. NFC contactless payments and a gyroscope complete the list of advantages. Thus, an extremely long-lasting gadget with increased durability will find its audience, although the cameras could be better.
