Stylish smartphone with a large battery for a reasonable price and this is not Xiaomi. In the review, the 2016 model is the Doogee T5S with a waterproof case.
Price
The massive hype for this model began immediately after it went on sale in November 2016. Currently, the smartphone costs from 80 to 100 US dollars and, according to the owners, this price is more than justified.
Appearance
Since this is a Doogee phone, its design should be given special attention. The screen has a 2.5D curved glass, which undoubtedly goes a plus to its style. Moreover, the phone has shock-resistant Gorilla Glass 3. The peculiarity of this phone is that it has 2 back cover options and an impenetrable body. For a more solid look, you should put a lid trimmed with leatherette, and to give the smartphone additional shock resistance - a polyurethane cover. To replace it, you only need to unscrew 8 small screws.
IP67
Yes, yes, this smartphone is protected from dust and moisture according to the IP67 standard, which allows the smartphone to be immersed in water up to 1 meter for no more than 30 minutes. Therefore, if you often visit the water area - this smartphone is for you.
Performance
The chipset here, even by the standards of 2016, is not the best: 4-core MediaTek MT6737V with a frequency of up to 1.3 GHz in conjunction with the Mali T720 accelerator. In the Antutu benchmark, the phone scores 26,000 points, which is not surprising. Doogee T5S is more tailored for everyday tasks, although it can cope with simple 2D games. Tanks at medium graphics settings give out 30 fps.
Battery
The device is equipped with a 4500 mAh battery. Not a record figure, but in conjunction with an undemanding processor it gives good results. The smartphone is able to "live" about 8 hours when watching videos at 100% brightness. The battery itself is non-removable and supports fast charging.
Camera
8 and 5 megapixel cameras are just for taking videos and photos. You won't surprise anyone with such pictures, besides, the camera's color rendition is slightly different from reality - the pictures are faded. Full hd - maximum resolution for video recording.
Connection
The mobile phone is equipped with two trays for micro SIM cards. You shouldn't find fault with the quality of the spoken speaker and microphone, because this is just a state employee. However, in practice, Dodge has a good connection quality, comparable to more expensive flagships. The Internet in 3G networks and via Wi-fi works stably, which is good news. Also, the device can work with most of the range of Russian 4G networks.
Display
Large black bezels around the display give it a massive appearance. The viewing angles of this 5-inch IPS matrix are average. As for the margin of brightness, everything is standard here: at a bright noon, you still have to look for a darker place.
