@@martingentiaras495 yep u can use it as a rock or a bat or a throwable it it has the Samsung note 7 battery it could even be used as a portable Molotov or grenade
I have the s96pro for 3 years Decided to buy this one Litte bit to big for me :p Gave it to a friend who normally breaks 3 phones a year. Let's see how long this will last in his hands 😅
I think that in addition to serving as a phone, battery bank, and camping light! This could totally also be used as a weapon to defend yourself! 😄 From a wild animal perhaps Chris! It has 0.5 kg of concentrated mass! I think the only thing really Hindering the experience here is the screen. It really needs to be more readable outdoors! A Great review as always ✌👍
Yes it can serve as a self-defense weapon, or to fend off wild bears. The camping light is very handy and the screen yes, needs to be a lot brighter. Plus the camera software needs a lot of work.
Not the only difference, the camping light is one of the thing that differs from V Max, but V Max has Dimensity 1080 5g SoC whereas S100 Pro have only a Helio G99 4G SoC.
It takes 546 grams to fit truckloads of features; I would keep it for camping. Love to see the All Blacks label on the weight machine - love from New Zealand
I'm pretty flexible and can compromise BUT the dim screen was a DEAL BREAKER for me. I previously owned a blackview rugged phone that had the same issue and it was extremely frustrating when i was outside. I don't know what compelled the makers to not to give these phones a brighter display, especially like you said, since they are meant to be outdoors. The totally contradicts the purpose of the phone. Thank you for your honest review and you helped a great deal with your honesty
Just seems crazy it's marketed and IS this rugged outdoor phone and yet the screen is so dim to use outdoors for what it was designed for. Glad my review helps.
Sooooo... switching to this one from Ulefone Power Armor 13, not a big diff in weight, should be ok for "multimedia center+multiple navi center+additional bike light" on short and loong trips. Ulefone was great on that
S100 pro is only 60hz on my model i have. They say 120hz in the press material but mine 100% isn't confirmed with hardware info, drm info and display tester 60hz. Yes normally the G99 is slower than the Dimensity 1080. But in this case it feels better here due to optimisations.
mam pytanie czy w tym telefonie można zmienić ustawienia siatki ekranu? Żeby było 5 ikonek w rzędzie? Próbowałem już wszystkiego czy ten telefon ma coś takiego?
This Smartphone looks almost like an exact copy of Owkitel wp19 with 21,000 of battery life but has a few has less things like no headphones jack and no sim tool to maintain the sim card secured. I stay with my Owkitel WP19. 😎
Hey I just wanted to let you know you pronounced the phone brand name wrong. The next time when doing reviews and stuff on this phone brand company it's not pronounced Doo-Gee you don't say ga-ee it's pronounced Doo like as in ski doo which you said right and then Jee like if you said the letter ''G" by itself that's how it is pronounced Doo-Jee. But yes it's spelled Doogee so some people my think it's pronounced differently.
Yes on their website but the phone doesn't have the 120hz option in the settings and hwinfo reports 60hz and display tester 60hz. Maybe later models come with 120hz but not my unit.
@@Techtablets That's disappointing and unbelievable. I'm glad I bought Oukitel WP19 claiming to have 90 hertz refresh rate and it does have it, but my next rugged phone has to have the following features: ° 22000+ mAh battery (with high optimization). ° Dynamic AMOLED 2x screen with 120 hertz refresh rate and max brightness of at least 1200 cd/m², protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 6 or superior; low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) OLED display backplane technology (for more efficient use of power by dynamically adjusting the refresh rate of the screen based on the content being displayed). ° 5G. ° Camping light with 1200 lumens or more so that the light beam reaches at least 60 feet while still being bright at that distance (optional: adjustable light beam). ° Optical image stabilization. ° 64+ MP night vision camera with IR light reaching at least 330 feet.
Hi, Chris just binge watching your Xiaomi phones' reviews of 2-3yrs ago, and I noticed you did an intro to videos like this: th-cam.com/video/EjTeCDnx754/w-d-xo.html. It's nice to have it back...
People that yes have large pockets, maybe tradesmen types or hikers this is aimed at. People that might be off the grid for up to a week and can't charge their phone.
the screen colors look a little washed out.. similar to the cat rugged phones ive worked with.. sometimes it seems like they just had an ober stock of these old ips panels and needed something to do with them.. well lets give them to the tradies, they probably wouldnt care 😄

@@nalaunobelmoura4000 😆👌
The size was shocking and I've been using a s88 pro for years
So this phone is better than V Max in CPU and in addition it has a camping light?
If you get a special software update, it will convert the flashlight into a fleshlight.
😂😂
Not the only difference, the camping light is one of the thing that differs from V Max, but V Max has Dimensity 1080 5g SoC whereas S100 Pro have only a Helio G99 4G SoC.
True the 5G support. But the Helio G99 is actually faster than the Dimensity 1080
@@Techtablets Ok.

Maybe to prolong battery life further
has the dim screen issue been fixed yet?
@@SirThanksAlot9000 never
Hi TechTablets, any update on the software? Does it fix the camera issue?
If my phone lasts 10 days after a charge, I will be the happiest. Good use of the night vision camera and powerful Mediatek chip as well.
6-10 days but the battery life is crazy good.
Question sir. Is this phone a 4g or 5g ? Will it work with a 5g sim card. Or a 4g sim card only ? Or both sim cards ? Either one or the other ?
4g
I wonder how long the duration the camping lights can be used before we can feel the heat/warms at the back...
Can one attach a lanyard to it. Incredibly the Doogee I have has no corner fitting to loop a lanyard to. I use it afloat a lot.....with trepidation.
Using this to do food delivery. Great device although software bugs are around.
On geekbench6, the Dimensity 1080 scores over 2200, but the Helio G99 doesn't seem to break 2000. Perhaps there is a difference in GPU performance?
Could be rom optimisation but this games better than the Dimensity 1080 V Max for me.
Helio G99 more powerful than Dimensity 1080?? Care to explain.
It got better benchmark scores than the Dimensity 1080 in the Doogee V Max. Genshin impact was also a lot smoother.
So there's no slider for increasing or dimming the brightness then?
People in the comments are saying it's very dim in hard to see the screen display.
Sooooo... switching to this one from Ulefone Power Armor 13, not a big diff in weight, should be ok for "multimedia center+multiple navi center+additional bike light" on short and loong trips. Ulefone was great on that
It would be fine for that.
Currently $225 on Sunsky. If it had 5G, I would buy one. At that price and NO tax, how can one go wrong?
Intresting video, is this a 5G smartphone?
Yes it is.
You said it was 4G
Hey some of you tech stuff is wrong Helio 99 is not more powerful than dimensity 1080 also s100 pro is 120htz not just 60
S100 pro is only 60hz on my model i have. They say 120hz in the press material but mine 100% isn't confirmed with hardware info, drm info and display tester 60hz. Yes normally the G99 is slower than the Dimensity 1080. But in this case it feels better here due to optimisations.

0:45 i think the Dimensity 1080 have more power than the G99 as i know.
Yes but this seemed to game smoother than the V MAX with the Dimensity 1080. No idea...
@@Techtablets maybe it's because G99 is much optimise than the 1080 i guess.

Ola Chris. Sorry but the Helio is not more powerful than the Dimensity by any metric aside from a difference in GPU frequency.
Yes I made an error :(

its not 60 hz its a 120 hz? atleast mine is anyway
Speaking of batteries, does it have a quick charge? With that size of a battery, 0-100% might take 6-7 hours 😂
Other websites state that this phone 400gram?
Definitely not 400 grams. I weighed it myself with my scales.
yeah its a cool phone but the spyware they put into those roms are bs and you cant even flash custom roms on it
Didn't see anything suspicious, can you tell me what to look for then?
546 grams is just madness to carry that around. What type of person would buy this phone? And you would need huge pockets for some a monstrosity.
