Doogee Y8C - how the simplification became too strong

Sometimes, in order to reduce the cost of a smartphone and create a more accessible version, developers take extreme measures, leaving potential buyers without a number of important functions of a mobile assistant. The hero of this review, although he retained the excellent design of his predecessor, is unlikely to be able to please the owner with performance and functionality.

Appearance of the novelty is beautiful for the lowest price category. The phone does its best to look like modern flagships, so the dual camera and the 6.1-inch IPS display , which is almost devoid of frames, gives the impression of an expensive device. Destroy the illusion is not the best quality polycarbonate shell and screen. Its contrast and brightness decreased in comparison with the analogue in the preceding fablet, the visibility of the picture with direct sunlight also fell. However, IPS-panel with a resolution of 1280x600 pixels still allows you to comfortably carry out operations with the gadget in room lighting.

The Mediatek MT6580 processor with 1GB of RAM and the Mali400MP2 video adapter causes only sadness. 4G is absent, the gaming ability of the technical characteristics do not hold water. Not all demanding games will start even on the minimum graphics preset. But the built-in 16GB of memory is supplemented with a slot for MicroSD cards , so you should not worry about the lack of storage space for your favorite photos and videos.

Unfortunately, the main 8 and 5 megapixel modules are mediocre. Autofocus is, therefore, documents capture with their help is quite real. For other scenarios, the sensors are not suitable, as well as the "frontalka" of five megapixels. A positive thing is the presence of a battery at 3400mAh , which provides about seven hours of active screen time. Paverbank will increasingly stay at home. Android Pie is also counted as a device's dignity, but the whole set of its advantages, supported by a modest price, still cannot offset the negative effect of the technological backwardness of the device and its poor photographic capabilities.
