DONT buy Doogee brands

[mehran44]

hello to every one . pls read this and think about .
I am a mobile repair specialist and seller too . in 2017I sold a few models of doogee . Each had its own problems
(fingerprint ,bad battery , not ota update,bad 4g and more . So I changed them with other brands
I decided to install them firmware again , Each one found a new problem, and some diedد
so i send few email to company . after 3 month i recived this answer ( pls check our site

Now pay attention Do not waste your money
1- doogee havent a suporter for your problems
2- Doogee havent a good sound spk and calling voice
3-Most profiles are unrealistic ( camera . battery , finger print time , ota update,.........
4- There is no definite way to install the firmware, and any problem can be foundEven if they are of a model
5- If you have this brand, forget about updating to the newer Android
6- The handsets are not even supported by Google, for example, look at the Smart Lock .If available, it will be removed after reset by recovery or it will not have a face lock . check android 7 original options
7- Go to the site and you will see thousands of problems said and there are no answers
8- I was fired by writing the brand problems. Because they could not solve, but I will write on different sites.
9- ok now , you can read and writing your comment about my idea

I agree. Bought a Doogee Mix and its trash. The system is buggy, gps overheats the phone and restarts, very very bad wifi... I dont remember more things, but I stopped using it many months ago. Trash phone.

Doogee mix is just a scrap.

I also had similar problem and finally after 4 month I have to throw away.

it is a brand to ban, no support and devices have too many problems.
The MIX smartphone is very fragile, the screen and the rear glass is broken after only two falls at low height.
The charger heats up with a strange smell and a very unpleasant whistle.
GPS is not accurate, there is no optimization, the device heats, the sound is disgusting you hear nothing in call! the double camera is false, etc...

To ban !!!

Now it's on trash

 

[moyses]

I agree, never

 

[Ballaholic]

I agree. Doogee is garbage. I got the f7 pro when it first came out. Nothing but problems. Nothing up to spec

 

[ccc030]

HaHAHa, WTF? The camera is a big big garbage, indeed. With root and a little bit tweaking, this phone rocks.
@Digo69 show me one high price gorilla glass phone, (with front and back glass) that falls to the ground from more than 50cm height and nothing is damaged. Come on. Post a video and show me that phone plz.

Because I am a pro photographer, I don't care if a smartphone camera is brilliant or not. The Doogee's one is 100% garbage. The rest of the phone is great (in this price segment) and I am a heavy and frequent user.

bit of an old thread but not to old.
Im after ordering the S90, Im really looking forward to it arriving.

I dont care about the aftercare from the company, Im after having 3 oukitel phones over the last few years and they have non existent aftercare when it comes to their phones.

I have the miracle box and I can replace screens if they break so Im happy.

Yeah i got it from ali express. Deadly phone. I ordered the complete bundle and the ****ehawk I ordered it from never sent the wireless charger and the gamepad module , he started to ignore me so I just got bored and gave a lovely update on the review hahaha.

The usb port is gone a bit wonky I on mine. I use the power bank anyways so that doesnt bother me. .Love the phone.

Yeah, I had an S70lte, liked it enough thought Id order the full fat version. I never got a reply from the doogeemall.com webstore. they never once replied to any messages, so I just cancelled payment through my bank. If they don't have time to address customer concerns they don't need my money. I also noticed in the delay my order sat un-filled the price of the phone kept dropping and they still didn't send mine. Tough to want to get another after that.

I brought doogee s90. the touch doesn't work. I have to lock and unlock to make it work and the phone keeps on restarting. done factory reset but no use. the company doesn't respond to query .is there any way to fix it

 

[TESTERH]

100% AGREE

 

[fleafred]

Same for me !
I bought a S90 ,I can still make calls with it BUT if I try to install an app ,it crashes ,whatever it is !
My wife bought a S70 Lite ,working BUT if anybody try to call her ,he can ear his own voice as a loud echo ...
So I agree !

Did I get Lucky? I have been using XDA for ... since they were created and only today created an account to post. I bought a Doogee S90 2 years back. Love the phone, its hardcore rugged and lasted. Took this thing in the ocean in Mexico (vaca) multiple water rafting trips and it awesome. Soda, food spills? Just wash it in the sink. it has been thrown, dropped many times and never a screen crack or damage.Everything works GREAT. I never experience the phone everyone posts online..... not once. I added a 128gb storage, game on it all the time and more. Even now, I'm Still using the phone 2 years later. I have never owned a Phone as tough and rugged as this. Heck, even works with Cricket Wireless (my carrier/AT&T network clone).

Only issues I have had so far.... I never got the night vision or camera attachment working, that never worked. CB radio worked, fm radio worked, 5g and more all works. Phone is water proof and tough as hell.... yea throw it across the street and wash it under the sink, take it kayaking, fishing and underwater (ive done these things), no issues there.

other issue, no android support or upgrades. the Doogee company is JUNK/Crap for not supporting their software, no firmware updates. I'm still stuck on Droid 8.1 in 2021 and im now searching like hell for a ROM hack. I want to install droid 10 or 11.... but i can't find anything. Never a software patch to fix the night-vision that never worked or cam attachment.

This may be my last Doogee phone, I read all the new phones from Doogee will not support Cricket/AT&T network bands......

SO... I love the rugged phone, whats the Doogee competitor?

Hey I'm new here. I bought a DOOGEE S86 off eBay about 6-months ago and couldn't be more pleased.
Everything works great, have dropped it about 15' off the roof a couple times. It's been swimming in my pond about 10' once. The 8500mah battery lasts me for 2 days 48 hrs. and that's using it playing videos, listening to music, using tools such as level, distance measurer, protractor, all while I might have anywhere from 20 to 50 web pages open on 4 different browsers.
I'm hard on phones. Also I still have 4g LTE service when all my friends phones can't even get a signal. Loudspeaker is awesome clear and loud.

I own S68Pro for quite a few years. It's a BRICK. You could use it as a deadly weapon. Armored as hell and heavy. Still works.

But ZERO droid updates. Do not EVER expect any software update from Doogee after the initial software.
Been using it with lineage OS since almost the start. Most things work except sound hiccups when calling with someone making it almost unusable for phone calls.
Using it for navigation/internet/backup phone since.

That said I would not buy phone without software support ever again.
As written in another post they do not release kernel source so there is not much to be done about getting newer droid on it.
