DOOGEE S200X - an unnecessary model?
Artificial expansion of the range is not always necessary for the manufacturer. Especially when it comes to a company like Doogie.

None

Vivo IQOO 13 phone review
Vivo IQOO 13 - sudden perfection?
The sub-brand of the Chinese company Vivo with a difficult-to-pronounce name has always been popular around the world, although its products were aimed at the domestic market.

However, the hero of today's review unexpectedly provides all the flagship functionality at an affordable price tag, which is why the hand reaches for the wallet.

The Chinese company Xiaomi once surprised the audience of the smartphone market with innovative new products every year.

Blackview BV6200 Plus - Improving Failed Products
Smartphones with the BV6200 index from the Chinese company Blackview did not become bestsellers, but the developer decided not to throw all the developments on the models into the far corner.

AGM H MAX - Lost Success
The path of the Chinese company AGM in the smartphone market is noticeably different from that of its opponents.

OUKITEL C58 Pro - Not Bad, But Far From Ideal

Oukitel WP35S phone review
Oukitel WP35S - too many simplifications
The original WP35 smartphone from Oukitel did not become an incredible hit, but it was able to bring in quite good money for its developer. A nice design, good technical characteristics, moisture protection and excellent autonomy had a positive effect on sales of the gadget. This is probably why the manufacturer decided to create a more affordable version of a commercially successful product. Unfortunately, the reduction in price did not go perfectly.
Huawei Nova 13 Pro phone review
Huawei Nova 13 Pro - a problematic bestseller
The Chinese company Huawei is still going through hard times due to sanctions. The impossibility of officially using Google services noticeably affects the sales of the brand's products.

Huawei nova 13 phone review
Huawei nova 13 - not quite a successful middle class
The functionality of smartphones and their performance have improved significantly over the past few years. And the progress is especially noticeable in inexpensive phones.

DOOGEE V40 - Affordable, Durable and Productive
Fans of smartphones protected from dust and moisture are becoming more sophisticated every year. Manufacturers have to do everything possible to pleasantly surprise the audience.

But the Chinese company Doogee has gracefully coped with it.
