The plastic shell and clip is an amazing feature. I wish all phones had one.
not sure how many people would use it
@@RedskullPro I never go anywhere without it. It's one of those things that makes life easier.
Which phone do you think would be better Dooge S80 or the BV9600 pro
Thanks for the review! I'm still waiting for this smartphone to come.
Thanks for checking out the video!
@Redskull I don't think you're aware of this, but in most recent versions of android (including current pie), the battery stats don't show up by pressing the battery icon you were repeatedly tapping at 1:35. You need to press the overflow button (three vertical dots at the top right) and tap "battery usage."
Not with this one unfortunately and I am pretty sure it was done on purpose
Just got mine in the mail today. Been using it heavily the last 5 hours with max brightness and Bluetooth on. The battery has only gone down 18%. Performance is exceptional in every way. As a former user of the doogee s60 of 2017, this phone is an amazing upgrade.
Thanks for sharing with everyone!
God bless you Sir for sharing information of mobile phones
this is def a conversation started! I am sure people would be asking about what kind of phone you have when they see it the first time
Judging from comments about my S60, "I like your *case*" ... "I'm not using a case."
@@jeffjackson4181 I get the same thing on my S60
I bought the S80 an hour ago
I'll give her a test ride
@@garychambers5930 did u get ur s80? Does it have front face led notifiers
@@nathanielnunya5305 it do not
@@garychambers5930 have you tested your walkie talkie? How well do you like your s80? Thinking of buying one
I got mine a few days ago. I love it. I have no problem in USA on ATT. I work in some extreme conditions now and then why I got it. Its loud when I have it on speaker taking, listen to movies or audio books. I am putting all my work software on it my tech guys are amazed with it. Yes it a little heavy and thick but not holding on it it for very long. I like the big battery. It will be days when it gets charged.
Thanks for sharing! I was wondering about the connectivity in the US!
Does it have front face led notification lights. Texts missed calls etc.
No, it doesn't.
This is a very creative phone. Great phone for those outdoorsy people. The only downside is the weight. Almost weigh half kilos with all the accessories attached but it has all the goodies such as NFC, wireless charging, ip68 rating and also huge battery. Thumbs up to Doogee for such phone. :)
yeah, the weight is one of the biggest downsides for sure! Thanks for watching!
I only have to charge mine ever 4 days
That was great info! So this phone is perfect for calling and a construction site, etc. The walkie talkie being a handy option.
Hey, thanks for stopping by! Yeah construction site, camping...stuff like that
Excellent vidoe thanks for info and keep it the good work
Hey man, thanks for stopping by and checking it out! Haven't seen your channel till now 😅
@@RedskullPro thanks man I am remembering watching your channel for two years.. Your channel was one of the channels that inspired me to start on TH-cam in 2017. Thanks again
oh man, that's pretty awesome! I'm happy to hear! My videos from 2 years ago....were...well :) Not too great... :) Thanks for your support!
I have a problem with the S80 battery. It warms up when charging and shows a message on the screen "Battery overheat, please remove it!- But it is obvious I just can't remove it. The mobile phone is new. What can I do to don't see that message again?
Please share all the apps to test the device that you use for.
Alex that is a wonderful phone if you camp or fish. I always liked the idea of a phone that isn't easy to damage. Thank you for the review.
Personally I take very good care of my phones but you are right...one of these would be great outdoors and it would be refreshing not having to take care of it :) Thanks for watching!
Nice device for someone who live out of cities or live in bush. Great job.
yeah, if you are away from electricity for a while this would be ideal
@@RedskullPro Thats exactly my use for it, I spend a few days away from power at a time and need something that will last. Easier than carrying a bunch of power banks around.
Does the doogee s80 need a key tool to open the sim card tray?
you can open it with a staple if you don't have that little tool
Ha ha, they offered me one of these but then said there were no review loaners left ☹️
Then again, glad you covered it - absolutely crazy looking device!
Please give me all your phones, car and all wireless chargers as my goldfish is ill and I'm your biggest fan and only have 100 British Rupees left.
Love from Khazakstan 👍
hahaha! I will keep this in my car just in case I ever have to fight someone! I can use it as a brick!
looks like a good phone was going to order it but now I need a phone that does 6 gigs 128 gigabytes storage space internally has Wi-Fi and at least a battery that does around 10,000 milliamp what do you suggest I would have bought this phone but you said the cameras were not good or not that good and I need decent camera cuz I use it more than I use my laptop should work in the USA but I do wantyour battery is the most important and then the camera if you have any ideas let me know
hey alex try checking out the Palm Phone its gonna be the smallest phone you will ever see. Huge fan from philippines by the way ☺️
i've seen it around...but unfortunately no reviewer from Canada was able to get it... :(
Great job! Can this device be rooted? Thanks again for making a great vid!
I haven't looked into it...can't confirm
Interesting phone. Kind of like the old Nextel push to talk... except this is a walkie talkie like you said. 😁😁
I wish I would have had another one so I can actually try the walkie talkie function
It works as any other walkie-talkie would
Set up the same channel or frequency as your friends or whatever
It's great for when you're on the lake we got four five friends out there in boats
Awesome review, will this phone last for 2 years?anyone have experience with doogee before?
I can't say...
Yeah, they activate spyware, ads, malware on their phones after a certain time and send rogue updates. They lie about specs. Not to be trusted. But if you're ok with rooting and running a custom ROM and hoping that Magisk will continue to get around Google Safetynet (to be able to use the NFC etc) then you can generally get a good bargain on Doogee imports. Personally I'd be very wary though. I doubt it's any coincidence that they stripped the battery stats out of the stock ROM reviewed here in order to stop your average person from questioning their claims.
@@the.internet Absolutely agree. I've got a Doogee and it was fine for the first month, then all the ads and malware crap started.
I eventually restored it to factory settings and it was like a new phone.... Alas after a month or so, the same ads, pop ups etc started happening again. Oh, and it also likes to randomly disconnect itself from the Wi-Fi. I'm replacing it next week and then the doogee is going to be smashed into a million pieces. Avoid this pre-infected rubbish at all costs if you value your sanity!
@@ossianmacurcrin7883 yeah man I forgot to mention connectivity problems too - both WiFi and Bluetooth for me on stock ROMs. Bluetooth range was almost non existent, as if an antenna wasn't connected, and WiFi was sporadic. Often would appear connected but there'd be no data transfer until you were right on top of the router.
There are way better cheap Chinese manufacturers that put out insanely cheap phones who don't outright lie about specs and worse cook malware timebombs into their firmware. The Doogee I've just been messing with (family members old phone) is on Android 5 which I rooted and debloated. They released an Android 6 update to their stock ROM and every thread on XDA etc was filled with people saying they'd updated and their phone had become unusable, filled with ads, text message scams costing them money etc etc. Fuck that.
I had a Vernee M5 I got for less than £90 for months this year which I used all over Europe. The only thing it really lacked was a decent camera, everything else was more than adequate. It got a load of updates but never got beyond Android 7 officially (which is fine) and all in all was an amazing budget phone. I only gave it away to a family member because their expensive Sony fucked up and I got myself a Sharp Aquos S2 which is probably the best budget phone of the year (but hard get hold of now!). So yeah, Vernee exaggerate specs, have no support, give up on their phones after a few months - but you *do* potentially get a good budget product. They're an example of a decent enough budget Chinese manufacturer. Fuck Doogee.
@@the.internet Aye, that all sounds tragically familiar. What I don't get is how any manufacturer can think that selling pre-infected/timed malware, is good business sense!
Anyways, thanks for your thoughts and insights man. :)
Hey Niko! Let's go Bowling!
Mate, which app do you use to check which lte bands this phone supports?
the app is called mtk engineering mode. In there you need to go to the band mode. For some phones you need to enable the developer mode before you access the app
@@RedskullPro thanks a million! Do you know if there is such an app for phones with Qualcomm processors?
no, unfortunately there isn't anything similar for qualcomm cpus
@@RedskullPro ok, thanks for the answer! :)
Does the external antenna increase the cell reception too or is it just for the walkie talkie function?
Only used for the Walkie Talkie function
Is it UHF and VHF? And can I customise the frequency by myself?
UHF
🤔🤔🤔😮😮😮🤨🤨🤨
Yo he comprado uno y era excelente. He encontrado 4 fallos en el, el primero no soporta temperatura de 26° durante 15 minutos por qué la goma de la tapa se sopla, segundo deja de funcionar cuando la memoria se llena sin previo aviso, tercero no tiene servicio de atención al cliente para poder repararlo y por último si compra cualquier repuesto no podrás cambiarlo porque los contactos están pegados de manera si intenta quitarlos se rompen fácilmente. La verdad es una pena que tiene estos fallos porque el resto es maravilla. En fin estos móviles están hechos para uso hasta 2 años o algo más.
wow very nice and big great for outdoors or camping of hiking
and! It can also be used as a weapon!
@@RedskullPro very true
advice me i want to buy a rugged phone since i break em like a boss z3 sony iphone8 galaxy 7 i broke em all i need a phone that holdes at least a year
I know what you mean
Nothing like mine too and $300 phones every 3 months
I started buying only military grade 6 years ago
Works out
Fargin excellent review. To the point and heaps of info. 👍👍👍
Thanks for checking it out, I'm glad it was useful!
haha, Alex is trying new more clickbaity thumbnail tactic, that's cool! It helped a lot for Linus tech tips
Yeah, that's what I was going for :)
And that guy with the cap and beard that holds the phones out super close to camera. Reviews here are much better! That guy jokes and chatters too much.
Hi
Hi

Nice review which covers pros and cons. Keep up, mate
for stopping by and checking out the video!
I am ordering the phone now since I love the design and it is rugged phone. I don’t need to worry about dropping it
defiantly leave a comment with your experience when you get it...a lot of people may find it useful!
Will do mate.
@@YamanGarut You'll love the plastic shell and clip. It is an amazing feature. I wish all phones had one.
It's an interesting phone. Could also be used in various self defence situations, but on the downside it may be considered as an extra carry on at the airport.
for sure an extra carry on!!
Your intro makes me sad. I can clearly see burn in on my S8 :(
which is not your fault of course :D
Was thinking about doogee but then I remembered the mix 2 or 3 with fake battery capacity :D
But that phone is really heavy! 0.5 KG :D :D Only thing I can compare it to is brick
Where is the burn in?? Yeah, I remember a video with someone opening a doogee phone some time back
@@RedskullPro Burn in is on my display :D It's clearly visible on white background. There's nothing wrong with intro! ;)
No, i figured that it was on your screen...it was interesting to know where...at the bottom where there is the virtual button...?
@@RedskullPro On the top. Status bar :D Never want Amoled again
@@georgehuser4711 I can agree with this, I had three Samsung S8's and all the ended up getting burn in at the top area where the TH-cam video plays, exactly the same, every time. I now prefer LCD.
This phone looks nice, it could be even a little bigger and have better chips.
I had a doogee y6max 6.44inch for a year and it was great. Mi max 3 7inch now and it's awesome, best phone I've ever had.
I still haven't done the video for the Mi Max 3!!! damn
@@RedskullPro the only con is the notification light is white not RGB like my redmi note 3 was. Apart from that it's perfect.
Mi max 3 is awesome! I got the huawei mate 20X with a 7.2 inch oled screen and get around 15!hours of SOT.
@@IvarvBeers next year I think I will go the mate 20x(next model) If the me max 4 doesn't have wireless charging. How much did you pay and is there anything annoying about your phone.
so doogee is good mobile
i want this phone very usefull for my job
okay, im using a caterpillar s41 phone and besides its ruggedness the overal phone is just meh.... but this...i would love this i think it will dwarf my hands lol
Hola Álex, buenas noches... Cuál es la aplicación con la que puedes ver las bandas o frecuencias que soporta el teléfono móvil.? Gracias por tus vídeos y como siempre , saludos desde cartagena de indias.
la aplicacion se llama MTK Engineering Mode pero sirbe solo por telefono que tiene un procesor Mediatek
@@RedskullPro ok, muchas gracias y conoces una que pueda hacer lo mismo con procesador Qualcomm?.
Very Good Video Very Informative
Thanks for checking it out!
It's a Garmin ass kicker!
How long have you had this phone for, Alex? I had a Doogee phone last year and about four weeks after turning it on, I was spammed with adware and redirects to download apps from Play Store. Plenty of Amazon reviews confirm this.
Hey, i've had it for about two weeks and a half. I haven't had that happening up to this point
@@RedskullProFingers crossed that nothing starts in a couple of weeks. The hardware is quite good from Doogee so I hope they've cleaned up their act with this phone.
The built quality of this phones very very bad...The rubber insulation over the phone peeled off as phone got hotter periodically..
Beautiful phone nice
Thanks for checking it out!
try to turn the flashlight/torch on @ 15% battery.
I didn't try that
@@RedskullPro I did not realize you wouldn't still have it. Sorry.
En desenchufar el cargador de 220 v el cargador se desarma y te queda descubierto los dos clavos
Nice phone
That is really bad battery life. I have a Moto play z2 with the turbo power battery mod. (Total battery size 5000mah)And I get 28 hours of heavy use. The Chinese phones are sub par especially if you live in North America. They usually don't have LTE support.
North America being the US? Here in Canada we get 4G with 95% of them :)
@@RedskullPro yes I'm located in Canada with Fido. I bought the ulephone power 3 and I could barely get any service with it for call or texting. And could only get 3g data. I had upgraded from a LG g3 at that point. The phone looked good but really they give you a big battery but the CPUs aren't very well used compared to Qualcomm chips.so these phones that have the big battery isn't an upgrade. They need the big batteries to match regular sized ones of oem brands.
I really like the rugged aspect of the unit in your video, and it's a great video. To be honest I looked at a few of your videos in the past when I was shopping around. But I find that most videos do lack telling people that might not have had an upgrade in years, that battery size doesn't matter as much now because of the advancement in Qualcomm chipsets.
I have also in the past tried the yotaphone 2. I loved the e ink display, but again battery life was sub par. Using the e ink display didn't really help that much with battery life. I know this is now going off topic from discussing the unit in your video. And I get that we people don't want to spend the money on oem flagship phones. But there are some good gently used units up for grabs, that will perform much better then the Chinese phones.
Problem is Doogee is very Dodgee. Phones seem ok but they are useless at after sales service and follow up. Check out the Doogee Facebook page. They are not responding to people who are asking when the next update for their phone is. I have a Doogee and they won't respond either on FB or to emails.
it's probably because it's a chinese company and they probably don't speak english
@@b_wellyn probably, problem is they market their phones in English, they give out English emails. I think maybe they just don't give a sheet once they've got your money and don't expect people to complain. I don't have a problem with the phone, but the follow up service sucks big time. Avoid Dodgee.
So the test of a rugged phone now consists of holding it under the water tap for a few seconds....? I think maybe there's more work to do here.
I am sorry...i'm not the type of person that destroys phones...plus I can't afford to break it... However...if you would like to make a donation covering the price of the phone I can do some super cool destruction tests with it.
my pant is moving down all the time because this phone is so heavy in my pocket.
that phone is so manly i could probably survived a zombie apocalypse
Smashing! A phone for smashing things. Great for a construction job site, lumber company, heavy equipment company, or camping. Cheers
and can also be used as a weapon
Can you tell me if this shop sells this phone?
There are some links in the video's description
@@RedskullPro thanks
Snow already? Seriously, you have like 6 months or snow a year or not?
yeah...it's gonna be snow till around May unfortunately
Redskull man.... I am already fed up with the cold after a week.
Awesome ❤
Thanks for checking out the video!!
A phone that has an antenna but cant properly pick up a decent GPS signal. You couldn’t make it up.
Well the antenna... is for other purposes :)
You did not pull a king kong here lol
This was just too big...I didn't want to lie :)
@@RedskullPro loo
But bad at all, I can see myself with something like that for the outdoor activities.
and to be used as a weapon!
@@RedskullPro LOL well it's heavy and hardcore!
BTW mate, I sent you a DM on Twitter, asking for a favor, if you think you can't do it don't worry, maybe can give some recommendations with that particular subject ;)
For the battery, you can probably install accubattery from the Google play store
I could have, thanks for sharing
Awww, you don't have anyone to talk to... Alex, that sounds so lonely.
haha! :)
0:26 same 😭. Everybody needs somebody
haha! Yeah, nobody to talk to
the second rear camera does it work ? lol
Not really
@@RedskullPro Man you r the best thanks i was going to by it now
Headphone Jack ?
nope, not this one
@@RedskullPro Thanks for the info.
I want to get it
it's very different for sure :) Thanks for watching!
Remember the old old days of my grandpa's story hahaha a phone with big antennas i think the motorola and i search it on google 8000x is the model name this is him now xD but with a touch screen display
I used to have one of those too a long time ago! It was a Motorola
Waited 4 weeks for them to mail me my new phone. finally received it then Dropped my phone off the table and the screen shattered like candy. every video have people climbing up mountains and dropping it then washing it off lol. Man don't believe the hype. screen needs to be replaced and customer serviceisn't responding to my messages lol. now I stuck in American with no reps here and only e-mail communication. no phone number for customer service. guess I'll have to contact PayPal and get my money back.

Never again Doogee.....
haha! What happened?
@@RedskullPro I had T6 pro and after only 6 or more months charging time increased dramatically and before the device was 18 months it was dead....it refused to turn on....
I had a doogee y6max 6.44inch for a year and it was great. Mi max 3 7inch now and it's awesome, best phone I've ever had.
@@RedskullPro My S60 ended up lagging more than my fiance's. For that model they also advertised Stereo speakers, but you can tell by covering up the grills that there is only one.
The camera is advertised as being really great, but under most indoor lighting conditions the colors come out wrong, the detail isn't great, and snapping a picture of anything that might move is impossible, because it takes too long to shutter.
The battery life is pretty good, but at 15% (which is still like an hour of SoT or more, and much more Idle) the flashlight wont turn on, even if you turn off Battery Saver.
They were supposed to make an Oreo ROM update for the s60, but never did.
My fiance washed hers now and then, but recently the rubber flap covering the headphone port failed, and it got wet thanks to our son dunking it in the bath.
Now the battery dies quickly, and everything on that phone runs slower.
She also had problems with the charge port getting looser and looser until she had to jam a piece of paper in with the cable to get it to charge.
We're back to using our Honor 8s until we can save some money for some newer phones.
