The ranks of Doogee have replenished with a brand new flagship F5. The manufacturer equipped the brainchild not only with performance, but also with interesting innovations. How will the device surprise the user?
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 the straight lines of devices.
It is interesting that the Doogee F5 smartphone is not made of boring plastic, but using metal. In fact, the body of the device is made of alloy. This decision allowed the device to obtain the strength of aluminum. However, there are also disadvantages: the material does not bend, but breaks immediately.
External parts have taken their places. So, the front side received touch elements, a display, a camera, sensors, a speaker, unfortunately, there is no flash. On the right side, a SIM card slot, a power button, a volume control have found their shelter. The back part has acquired a camera, flash, microphone and logo. The headset jack is on the top, while the USB and speaker jack is on the bottom.
Small dimensions can create inconvenience when working withdevice, but the rounded back will allow you to comfortably hold your smartphone. Phone Doogee F5 has a good oleophobic coating, relieving it from fingerprints. Gorilla Glass 3 is also included to protect the display.
The device will have three colors: dark gray, champagne and light gray.
Display
The screen will please Doogee F5 owners very much. The diagonal specifications are as much as 5.5 inches. Reinforced by success and high resolution - 1920 x 1080 pixels. These settings allow you to achieve excellent image quality.
The display has an IPS-matrix that improves the brightness of the Doogee F5. An overview of the corners will also not cause any complaints. The technology used has greatly improved the behavior of the device in the sun. The screen of the device does not fade.
The set resolution specifications correspond to Full HD. Similar display options 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. The use of the technology of the undisputed leader among mobile cameras provides the device with good photo quality.
Also, the device was equipped with a five-megapixel front camera. The camera matrix is enough for good self-portraits and video calls. The only downside is the lack of a flash. Although most flagships do without this little thing.
Hardwarepart
Performance will also impress Doogee F5 users. The review of the filling should begin 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 for even the most demanding 3D games.
The manufacturer took care of installing three gigabytes of RAM. The device was also equipped with 16 GB of native memory. You can increase the capacity with a 64 GB flash drive. Using the phone for entertainment purposes, installing demanding games, applications, the user cannot do without a card. After all, out of 16 GB of native memory, only 13 are available.
The manufacturer for the first time decided to equip its product with a fingerprint scanner. A very interesting idea, since this is not found in most flagships. How well this will be implemented, only the owners can say, but the solution is interesting.
System
The modern "Android 5.1", which controls the Doogee F5, will also please. The system overview attracts with the ability to control the smartphone with gestures. This is not uncommon, but new to the Chinese manufacturer.
On Android, the company has installed a proprietary interface. Together with the design, the user will receive the company's programs and the actual gesture control application.
Price
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
Manufacturerstepped on the "rake" familiar to many devices. The phone got a definitely not the most successful battery - only 3000 mAh. The battery without load can last only a day. Even not the most active work reduces his life to 8 hours. And when watching a video or browsing the Internet, the user will need recharging after 3 hours.
The manufacturer solved the problem in a rather peculiar way. The smartphone has a fast charging function that can fill the battery in just an hour. Naturally, this is very pleasant, but it still causes dependence on the outlet.
Package
Set delivery without any surprises. Along with the device comes a headset, USB cable, adapter, instructions. Here the manufacturer decided not to surprise buyers, even the quality of the headphones is quite standard.
Positive Feedback
Almost all the reviews left about the Doogee F5 are positive, the smartphone is surprisingly good in everything. I would like to highlight the excellent filling. Even when using the MTK chip, performance was not affected at all.
Worthy of praise and the smartphone screen. High resolution, large diagonal and excellent viewing angles will impress even the most sophisticated user.
Special attention should be paid to the manufacturer's unusual decisions. The presence of a fingerprint scanner, gesture control, the use of Samsung technology - these are the little things that distinguish the phone from the mass of others.
Negative reviews
Disadvantages are much less. 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 needs to be charged again.
Result
Chinese devices surprise more and more. Powerful filling and excellent performance are hidden behind a stylish appearance. Without a doubt, the phone's affordability and functionality will find its fans.
