Doogee phone performance battery life
To all those looking for what I was looking for; these phone are great for about 1 year. After that everything, battery wise..is no different than a regular phone received or purchased from any of the vendors available through you phone plan. So the camera which is something that I'm am NOT interested in, is garbage. Samsung, apple you name it have better quality pictures than this V MAX I purchased with a 108mp camera. Battery life diminished after about a year. I'm not a big user of social media or gaming etc..so when I saw this phone battery life go from about 2 weeks (12-14 days) between charges to about every other day...in about 1 year..total disappointment. Ruggedness..it's a tough phone, I drop my phones on occasion normally about pocket height. Took it well. But when it comes to the water proof IP68/69..bump. I use my phone multiple times underwater, problem is that there is no control of the phone while underwater. Not to mention once it has been underwater, you can go ahead and count the speakers out for about 5 days. Now I'm not diving with this phone, maybe 5-6 feet of water. I am also very careful to make sure the seal on the charging port is sealed if I plan on placing my phone in the water.. I recently took it to a pool with my son, ensured it was sealed..and the phone just stopped working. To this day, it hasn't started. I contacted Doogee and they seamed concerned in the 1 email. Then it went to taking it to a store, which you would have to pay to fix (if it's even fixable). At the end of the day, they are not selling you a product that meets the simple standards they advertise. I reverted back to a samsung. Lastly, these phones in the US, only work on about 2 or 3 of the frequency here, and only T-Mobile provides them, so in short service isn't great. Knowing this, I still gave the phone a shot and it fell really short of expectation. I hope this really helps other thinking about buying these phones.
