Doogee S96 Pro

Technical specifications

The volume keys are very poorly placed; they are constantly mistaken for the power button. They could have placed them on the other side.

The phone is a complete failure. It fell only once. The display or rather the glass is shattered. I even cut my finger on the glass. Not to mention the features. Old Android. Problem connecting with a Samsung smartwatch. There are no software updates. For this price I do not recommend it at all

As someone wrote, every phone has its flaws, but one thing I can say for sure - it is reliable. I have had it for 4 years - purchased in pre-sale in 2020. Nothing has been replaced. To start with the disadvantages: the speaker crackles above 80% volume, because of the seal at the USB port, even the original headphones do not go in all the way, which ultimately results in the Jack being damaged quickly, when putting a call in the background, the screen often goes out, which sometimes makes it inconvenient to hang up. I will debunk a few myths: first of all, LTE-4G exists - as you can see, someone has poorly configured data connections, if the browser stutters, it is the fault of the internet, not the phone, the parameters are absolutely adequate for the performance - games such as Diablo, PUBG, Wild Rift run smoothly on the highest settings, and the phone does not overheat. Pros: extremely rugged, excellent components - fellow gamers complain about popular iPhones and other Samsung products (much newer ones) that overheat during games and cannot handle high graphic settings, while for me everything has been running smoothly for 4 years, the battery still holds up great after 4 years - fully charged it guarantees many hours of gaming, the ability to personalize the side button - a very useful function, especially since we have as many as three configurations - short press, long press, and double press, the screen has excellent sensitivity - after 4 years barely a few scratches, accurate GPS, a lot of built-in memory - possibility of developer settings, including a detailed list of entities to which data is sent - each can be turned off - one must take into account that some will limit access to programs or functions. Overall, I will use it until it breaks :) For some reason, the model from 4 years ago still maintains a high price for a Chinese device.

I used it for two years, an extremely durable device. Considering my careless handling, it is absolutely the most rugged phone I have ever owned. After this period, the display became damaged. The phone continued to operate without any issues. It fell from great heights onto concrete many times and nothing happened. It functioned smoothly, without major software issues, and did not experience performance slowdowns; everything worked as expected. I played Gwint without any problems or stuttering. Initially, the battery lasted for 2-3 days of use, later for one day but with a remaining reserve. The camera is weak but sufficient for work (reports of completed tasks). However, the camera module is well-integrated, concave, and shielded from impacts. For me, the attachment point for a lanyard or cord is very useful. The Jack is also a good feature. Among the disadvantages, it is certainly heavy, nearly causing trousers to slip down due to the weight when kept in a pocket :D It is also quite thick; currently, with a battery of around 6000, one can find much more ergonomic devices. The greatest disadvantage is the USB C port hidden behind a rubber plug. It is very deep. It was only possible to use very narrow cables, which tended to disconnect at the slightest movement. Overall, I highly recommend it.

I recommend it - efficient, durable, battery lasts 2 days or more with intensive use. Over 2 years it fell many times on hard surfaces without damage; recently it fell on a protruding sharp stone and the glass cracked slightly - there are no miracles here if it falls onto a protruding element glass-first, and I personally did not use tempered glass protectors throughout the entire period of use. The camera is a weak point - photos and videos are not of the highest quality, but they are acceptable.

If anyone has problems connecting with watches or other equipment, simply disable the DuraSpeed function in the settings and battery optimization - then it works without a problem.

I can say this: a friend and I bought two of the same model. On the first day, children threw them for testing purposes. The phone is durable, but as for the speed of the device, it was supposed to be fast. The browser could freeze, the camera is average, the only special feature - night vision and that is also not particularly impressive. A large, heavy phone. After some time, because of the applications, it started to become slower and slower, although it was never fast. I do not recommend it, unless someone wants a rugged device with internet access and nothing more. An overrated cheap product so to speak.

I have had the phone for a year, it fell several times from a height of 1m, landed in water and snow, was exposed to low temperatures, it endures construction conditions well, works efficiently to this day and I do not feel any battery wear. I am satisfied with the purchase
I bought it in a popular electronics store so that the service center would be close in case of any issues, but I have not had to use it so far. Games run smoothly, they load quickly- my son is delighted with this. Music plays for 3/4 of the day at work and the battery goes from 100 and ends at about 40%
