Doogee S80 - a smartphone without fear and doubt

The market for secure smartphones, though not often, is regularly updated with new models. But here Doogee S80 stands apart. This device is not only maximally protected, but also has impressive characteristics. A giant battery makes it possible to forget about constant charges. Our recent review will prove that the S80 can be considered a truly brutal gadget without any compromises.

Equipment

The smartphone comes in a fairly simple cardboard box. If you open it, then before the user appears a massive rectangular device. Under it is not only the necessary documentation, but also a napkin, a device for removing memory cards and SIM, as well as a protective film on the screen. And that's not all! At the bottom is an additional box hidden in which you can find the power adapter, USB Type-C and OTG cables, an adapter. And the final bonus is a special cover that allows you to securely fix the device on the belt. A clip is provided for it along with the antenna. The package turned out to be very attractive.

Design

It should be noted right away that the Doogee S80 is unlikely to appeal to those who prefer compact smartphones. This "monster" weighs like three modern phones, and its thickness is amazing. The base of the case is an aluminum alloy with plastic elements.

At the same time, the back is also equipped with rubberized material, which creates excellent tactile sensations. You can safely hold the gadget in your hands - it just won’t slip out. The cover is fastened with ten screws, protected by caps. At the top is a gray metal plate with a rectangular block, where not only a dual camera is located, but also a flash and a fingerprint scanner. The lower area is equipped with large grilles, under which two multimedia speakers are hidden.

In front is a large screen, recessed deep into the body. It is covered with Curved Glass protective glass, characterized by increased strength. All navigation buttons are virtual. The side ends are additionally reinforced with aluminum inserts, which are screwed. All connectors have rubberized plugs. The enclosure is protected by the following standards: IP68, MIL-STD-810G and IP69K. This means that the device withstands both immersion to a shallow depth and a drop from a meter height. Available colors: black. Dimensions: weight - 398 g, height - 172 mm, thickness - 21.2 mm, width - 82.5 mm.

Display

The device got a 5.99-inch touch screen from LG. Its standard resolution is 2160 by 1080 pixels. The aspect ratio of 18: 9 makes the display a little elongated. This option is great for various kinds of entertainment. It uses an IPS matrix with good viewing angles and rich colors.

Performance

Under the brutal appearance of the Doogee S80 is the eight-core MediaTek Helio P23 processor, made according to the 16-nm process technology. The clock frequency of this chip is 2500 MHz. Here, the 3D graphic accelerator Mali-G71 MP2 is installed. The amount of RAM reaches 6 GB, and the amount of free space is limited to 64 GB. You can easily use microSD cards with a capacity of up to 128 GB.

The highlight of this smartphone is an incredibly powerful battery at 10,080 mAh. There is a function of fast charging PumpExpress + 2.0. It is also possible to use wireless charging. Such a capacious battery charges for a long time - about 5 hours. But emptying it just will not work. In the mode of listening to music, the charge lasts up to 4-5 days, and in conversational mode, even longer.

The device uses the Android 8.1 operating system without any major changes. In the AnTuTu test, the S80 confidently and easily scores over 92,000 points.

This is a good result for a middle class model. Demanding games run comfortably on average graphics settings, but sometimes they can be lowered to a minimum for the sake of speed. But simple toys with 2D graphics work without problems. This can be said about a variety of applications.

Camera

At the back there is a dual camera, consisting of the main 12-megapixel Sony IMX363 sensor and a secondary 5 megapixel sensor. Aperture 1.8 of the main module is complemented by a fairly fast autofocus.

Thanks to this, high-quality images can be taken even in uncomfortable conditions. It can be cloudy weather or artificial lighting. There is also a front 16-megapixel camera from Samsung.

Sound

The Doogee S80 has two full stereo speakers. They provide a very pleasant sound, and with the study of medium frequencies, which is rare for smartphones. In headphones, the sound is simpler, but quite good, if you use solid peripherals.

Price

Today, the price of the device is from 23,000 rubles. The maximum cost reaches 33,000 rubles. In the domestic market, this model is presented in small quantities.

Conclusion

Doogee S80 is a tough, armored and strong smartphone that is alien to the feeling of fear. The gadget has simply enormous dimensions, so it is hardly appropriate to use it for study or office work. But in extreme and harsh conditions, he will surely survive, which can not be said about the “cute” flagships of famous brands.
