Doogee ranks replenished with the new flagship F5. The manufacturer equipped the brainchild not only with performance, but also with curious innovations. What will surprise the user with the device?
Design
Appearance is very familiar, but at the same time it attracts with a solid look and elegance. The manufacturer managed to find a balance of style and modesty. Perhaps this was facilitated by the use of new material or straight lines of devices.
Interestingly, the Doogee F5 smartphone is not made of bored plastic, but using metal. In fact, the body of the device is made of alloy. This solution allowed the device to obtain the strength of aluminum. However, there are drawbacks: the material does not bend, but immediately breaks.
External details took their places. So, the front side received sensor elements, a display, a camera, sensors, a speaker, unfortunately, there is no flash. On the right side, they found their shelter SIM card slot, power button, volume control. The back end got a camera, flash, microphone and logo. The headset jack is on the top, and the USB and speaker jacks are on the bottom.
The rather large dimensions can create inconvenience when working with the device, however, the rounded back allows you to comfortably hold your smartphone. The Doogee F5 phone has a good oleophobic coating, eliminating fingerprints. Present and glass Gorilla Glass 3, which provides protection for the display.
The device will have three colors: dark gray, champagne and light gray.
Display
The screen will delight owners Doogee F5. Characteristics of the diagonal are as much as 5.5 inches. Success is also reinforced by high resolution - 1920 x 1080 pixels. Such parameters allow you to achieve excellent image quality.
The display is equipped with an IPS matrix that improves the brightness of the Doogee F5. Overview of the corners will also not cause complaints. The technology used significantly improved the behavior of the device in the sun. The screen of the device does not fade.
Characteristics of the established resolution correspond to Full HD. Similar display parameters can be found in the flagships of famous companies. For the manufacturer, this is the best praise.
Camera
A pleasant surprise was the installation of 13 megapixels in the Doogee F5. The camera review will surprise you with the presence of a sensor from Samsung and a double flash. Using the technology of an undeniable leader among mobile cameras provides the device with good quality photos.
Also, the device was equipped with a five-megapixel front camera. The camera matrix is enough for sound self-portraits and video calls. The only disappointment is the lack of a flash. Although most flagships do without this trifle.
Hardware
Performance will also impress users of Doogee F5. An overview of the filling should start with the 64-bit MTK6755 processor. The smartphone has got eight cores with a frequency of 1.3 GHz each. The power of the device is enough even for the most demanding 3D games.
The manufacturer also attended to the installation of three gigabytes of RAM. The device was also equipped with 16 GB of native memory. You can increase the capacity of a flash drive by 64 GB. Using the phone for entertainment purposes, installing demanding games, applications, the user can not do without a card. Indeed, out of 16 GB of native memory, only 13 are available.
The manufacturer for the first time decided to equip his product with a fingerprint scanner. A very interesting idea, since in most flagships this does not occur. How well this will be implemented, can only be said by the owners, but the solution is interesting.
System
The modern “Android 5.1”, the governing Doogee F5, will also please. Overview of the system attracts the ability to control the smartphone with gestures. This is not uncommon, but new to the Chinese manufacturer.
On Android, the company installed a proprietary interface. Together with the design, the user will receive the company's programs and the application itself for managing gestures.
Price
The approximate cost of F5 fluctuates around 15 thousand rubles. The price is very affordable and will attract buyers. It is very likely that the brainchild of Doogee will become a competitor to many flagships.
Autonomy
The manufacturer stepped on a rake familiar to many devices. The phone was definitely not the most successful battery - only 3000 mAh. A battery without a load can last only a day. Not even the most active work reduces his life to 8 hours. And when watching a video or working with the Internet, the user will need to recharge after 3 hours.
The manufacturer solved the problem quite peculiarly. The smartphone has a quick charge function that can fill the battery in just an hour. Naturally, this is very nice, but anyway there is a dependence on the outlet.
Equipment
A set of deliveries without any surprises. Together with the device comes a headset, USB cable, adapter, instructions. Here, the manufacturer decided not to surprise customers, even the quality of the headphones is quite standard.
Positive reviews
Almost all the reviews left about Doogee F5 are positive, the smartphone, surprisingly, is good at everything. I would like to highlight the excellent filling. Even when using the MTK chip, performance was absolutely unaffected.
The smartphone screen is also worthy of praise. High resolution, large diagonal and excellent viewing angles will not leave indifferent even a sophisticated user.
Separately, it should be noted unusual manufacturer decisions. The presence of a fingerprint scanner, gesture control, the use of Samsung technology are such trifles that set the phone apart from the mass of others.
Negative reviews
The disadvantages are much smaller. The use of an unusual alloy in the case is definitely alarming. The material is not elastic and will simply crack when bent.
Causes dissatisfaction and autonomy of the device. Only 3 hours of work - and the smartphone must be charged again.
Total
Chinese devices are more and more surprising. Powerful filling and excellent features are hidden behind a stylish appearance. Without a doubt, the availability and functionality of the phone will find its fans.
