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

Doogee V Max Play - overweight technologies

The Chinese company Doogee decided to show its creative nature and release a lot of smartphones with protection from dust and moisture according to IP68 standards with non-standard functionality this year. However, the hero of today's review for this reason is able to both attract a buyer and scare him off from buying. Let's figure out why this happened.

The main problem of the gadget is its dimensions and design. The weight exceeds half a kilogram, the thickness is three centimeters. It is difficult to use such a unit on a daily basis, the hand gets tired in a matter of minutes. But at the same time, it is necessary to understand that the rubberized case is protected from falls and impacts of the elements, has a full-fledged projector (480P resolution), LED panels for the flashlight function, a huge battery of 20500 mAh. You only need to charge your mobile assistant once every 4-5 days. Unfortunately, they saved on the display. The 6.78-inch screen is made using outdated IPS technology. Yes, the cost price of the phablet is lower because of this, but the brightness reserve is small. Direct sunlight seriously impairs the visibility of the picture. In other respects, everything is already more worthy. The FullHD+ resolution is generally sufficient for the clarity of the content, the refresh rate of 120 Hz gives it smoothness, the color rendition is quite realistic.

The technical characteristics are the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 CPU, 16 GB of RAM and the Mali G615MC2 video adapter. This is a good choice, because the bundle is both productive (650-700 thousand points in the AnTuTu test) and energy efficient, which is important for this kind of device. The user will enjoy both the stable functioning of the Android 15 interface and a good frame rate in all modern games with medium graphics settings. At the same time, there is almost no throttling, heating is insignificant. 512GB of ROM can be expanded with MicroSD cards.

Photo capabilities are rarely the strong point of IP68-segment phones. You can expect more or less high-quality daytime photos only from a 200-megapixel sensor from Samsung without optical stabilization. The 8-megapixel wide-angle lens is useful only in ideal lighting, and the 20-megapixel night vision sensor is more useful for hiking or hunting. Other advantages include NFC contactless payments, 5G support, and a 32MP selfie camera. Thus, the device turned out to be very specific. However, it will find its audience of fans of large, indestructible devices.
