Doogee S59 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Doogee S59 - single autonomy?

The protected smartphones of the Chinese company Dodge are known to more than one million satisfied customers, but not all models are equally balanced and relevant. So, the hero of today's review is frankly disappointing with its performance and design. But can he compensate for these shortcomings with something else?

The appearance of the novelty is not very attractive even for the IP68 segment of smartphones. Huge screen frames along the entire perimeter, impressive body thickness negatively affect both the perception of the exterior and ergonomics. It is difficult to use such a device even for those with a large palm. The rubberized rear panel, a side-mounted fingerprint reader, and a sophisticated four-camera unit all try to make the final impression of the phone somewhat better. The 5.71-inch OGS screen is unimaginable in terms of brightness and contrast. HD + resolution is sufficient for a clear picture at the diagonal used, but the image fades at angles and in direct sunlight.

Specifications are presented by the Mediatek Helio A25 processor, 4GB of RAM and the PowerVR GE8320 video adapter. The bundle copes well with the Android 10 interface, the chipset also manages web surfing of not the most "heavy" sites, but you will have to forget about resource-intensive games. Even with minimal presets, the graphics of the application are replete with numerous lags. The energy efficient CPU, coupled with a huge 10050mAh battery, delivers a stable 15 hours of active screen time. Problems finding the nearest outlet will not affect the user. And a lack of memory is not expected, because 128GB of ROM is expanded with MicroSD cards .

Relatively inexpensive IP68 phones rarely indulge in advanced photographic capabilities. The gadget in question is no exception. 16-, 8- (a pair of sensors) and 2-megapixel photomodules even during the day allow the appearance of noise in the pictures, so there is no need to talk about evening shooting. In good lighting, detail and color rendition close to real are preserved. Fans of contactless payments will be delighted with the presence of NFC , but such a heavy gadget can accidentally break through the cash register. Thus, the device provides fewer functions for its price tag than its opponents. This fact is unlikely to have a positive impact on the sales of Android smartphones.
