Doogee X98 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Doogee X98 is an affordable smartphone with a focus on battery life

The Chinese company Doogee does not forget about people with a limited budget, steadily releasing good inexpensive devices. And even though their functionality is far from the flagship, such products are still ready to seriously make life easier for users. And the hero of today's review is no exception.

The appearance of the novelty turned out to be quite bright and attractive. Of course, it is difficult to demand outstanding assembly materials from a representative of the lower price category, but the screen bezels are small, the dual camera unit is beautiful, and the colors are pleasing to the eye. But on the fingerprint scanner saved. The 6.52-inch IPS screen is mediocre, but not bad. The HD+ resolution is similar to that of the opponents, as well as the clarity of the image, the reserve of brightness is enough to interact with the device indoors.

The technical characteristics do not amaze with performance, but are sufficient for the more or less smoothness of the Android 12 operating system. The buyer will not be left completely without games, but he will have to be content with two-dimensional projects or three-dimensional titles with simple graphics. For example, a MediaTek Helio A22 processor and 3GB of RAM will successfully run World Of Tanks Blitz with minimal graphics presets. The energy efficient chipset and IPS display unleash the potential of the 4200 mAh battery. The battery will often give about a day and a half of active use of the phablet. But the internal storage is incredibly small by today's standards, namely 16GB of ROM. It is simply necessary to expand it with MicroSD cards for the normal functioning of the mobile assistant.

The main 8 and 2-megapixel photomodules are equipped with autofocus and LED flash, so they cannot be called useless. They will help capture the text of documents, make satisfactory daytime shots, albeit with some problems with image detail. When the lighting deteriorates, the cameras noticeably lose their positions. There are no NFC contactless payments, but their availability is a rarity for the value segment. As a result, the device came out balanced, long-playing and stylish. And what else do you need from a gadget with a price tag for a couple of trips to a cafe?
