Bonkers Superhero Smartphone! | Doogee V20 Rugged Phone Tested
Ғылым және технология
Unboxing the Doogee V20, a super-tough rugged 5G smartphone fresh for 2022 boasting two displays, plus loads of bonus features including a night vision camera. This review tests out the toughness as well as the camera tech, gaming smarts and other bits of the Doogee V20 phone.
Turns out this well hard handset is water resistant, drop resistant and temperature resistant, but it sure ain't child resistant. All the same, this rugged mobile survived a lot of punishment before a small person busted it in.
The Doogee V20 boasts some decent specs, including the Dimensity 700 chipset. This can handle light gaming no worries, with a dedicate gamer mode on board as well as chipset cooling tech. Battery life is also great with a mighty 6000mAh cell on board, plus wireless charging.
However, the 64MP camera on the back of the Doogee V20 is less than stellar. That said, how many smartphones boast their own night vision sensor? Not many, that's right.
So is this the best rugged smartphone in 2022? Well, the OLED screen isn't fantastic but it's not bad, and you do have old Android 11 here. But overall it's a solid choice for outdoor enthusiasts and anyone after a tough phone - just keep it away from your kids.

The most comprehensive durability test I have ever seen.
can we pause for a moment and admire the beauty of the guy's homescreen wallpaper?
You: peels the glass protector off Me: NO
The quality of your video description and lack of ads/sponsors and other icky stuff puts other tech KZreadrs to shame
I always come here to see a review of any phone...❤
The night mode feature is pretty cool, they should make more phones with it.

If you are referring to the blue light filter, i believe its been the case with most phones for a while. My s10+ has it
Chris, thank you for another excellent review and phone test. I checked out the official website, when will the V20 go on sale and what is the OS and Security Update timetable? looks like a good phone for someone on the go or on the worksite.
I bought a Doogee some years back from Amazon for £44, did not use it for ages, thought why did I buy it, can not be any good £44.Anyway, a few weeks back I got it out the draw, charged it up, and started playing with, It really is a decent phone, and works well. I put the name in KZread and was surprised they still make them, worth checking out.
Promising option for my parents, thanks for the video 🙂
Great Video!
wow that night vision of veronica was definitely a scary sight....
question where do you get those awesome wallpapers on all your devices
It's been a while since I've seen a rugged phone.
Liked the Stephen Segal bit..."one krempy Kreme away from the inevitable "
The camera sshots look pretty good. What sensor does it use?
Good to see you making a rugged phone review for the sake of tormented dads , not that this one survived child abuse, it may be military grade, but a playful child is any phones' mare. I got sick of buying new display after new display, before getting the family a tough Dogee without a tail to play around with.
Fun, thanks for the entertainment, now that was real fun video, good job on the torture test thingy. This must be one of the best looking super tough phones, okay, just one thing why the pregnancy test Kit? ( That stick thing are they targeting potential mom's?)
This thing has a top bezel big enough to house about ten front facing cameras but no, they had to put a freakin sh*t hole in the display!!! 🙄😒🤦♂️

Well otherwise you might have a weak point in the protection? Though the other guy’s point is probably more accurate.
I honestly thought this phone was going to be a disaster when I first started the video but by the end of it I was sold on it, not a bad device for the money
Salut Monsieur le Scotch, i came here to hear the word "dooog eee" and deskunkifye my possibilities of getting this beast as i live between the Sahara and the Artic bloody Circle.
I struggled with laughter past your opening comment about Steven Seagal.
Do a video on the S89 and how to get a bat case
This vs XR20 will be interesting 🤔
I purchased this phone and the first thing I noticed is that it can't view KZread videos in HD due to a issue with the codec. Another is that it doesn't work with AT&T bands although it lists the same frequencies. Also after three months the fingerprint sensor died. It took three weeks for Doogee to reply and they said the repair would require me to pay for shipping even though it was still under warranty. I do not recommend buying from this vendor.
Doogee have loads of models have you done any comparison with the makes we've heard of?... And what there models do ? ... Cheers
Now is 5th August but this phone still looked premium. The second rugged with Amoled screen so far (after Blackview 9600) and i don't find our any other rugged phone with amoled screen apart from this Doogee V20 and Blackview 9600 but with extra mini screen on the back. The only con just its display brightness. It is just remain at 500 brightness nit maximum. . This is outdoor smartphone, the manufacturer must do something about it.
Not a bad phone.. looks half decent.. thanks..
Interesting, Chris.
Getting the doogee V30 with 22000 battery and on offer for £399 Amazon in sale at moment 5G WiFi 6 too sounds good to me
Hello. That kids doll looks fine. Why at night vision you said that she is terrifying 🤣 She is not. Cheers.

I think the cat was the most dangerous part of the damage testing. Also, this whole giant screen giant phone thing. Bad idea.
Do a test of the Voice Recorder. That was my major disappointment with the Doogee phone i used 4 years ago. (Doogee N10)
3:22 ?? broken display was screen protection right? :D Or screen of phone? It has MIL-STED810g, I dont understand.

If you record a video...can you switch the camera from rear to front while recording?
I bought my v20 on Ebay for $335. The 2-year protection was $45.

How would u compare the camera vs i phone 15 max pro?
This has to be one of the most expensive devices that this company has released. Curious what their software update policy looks like.

Bought Doogee s88 pro November 2020 on Android 10 and still is on same version, the security updates are about 4 months late + the camera and the camera app is blocking occasionally and even when it is working is no good. But if you need a soldier smartphone this one will do.

I’m confused why it has a hole punch when that top bezel easily would fit that camera lmao
Would love to go for a "rugged" phone, but those flaps over the USB? Not for me and I'd hope that, being able to use it without a case, they'd design a body that wasn't a total fingerprint magnet! One day, someone, somewhere will come up with a Goldilock's Zone Phone! 😉

I used the V20 plug to mould a new one out of epoxy but with a magnetic usb-c charging connector in it. I moulded it thicker so it's flush with the surface of an aftermarket TPU case. I do a lot of metal work and fine metal dust gets everywhere and I had to replace the usb-c circuitboard on my last ulefone phone twice. Although that means I'm limited to 5V charging I hope that the usb-c connector on the V20 will be protected for the life of the phone and not wear out from daily plugging in for charging or FOD. I have even put a bhit of cloth bandage over the speaker port under the TPU case to stop metal dust getting in there.
Bruh..the durability test💀💀💀
Taking a phone for a walk with your cat, and then attempt to smash it up. Bank Holiday weekend sorted at Tech Spurt towers. 👌
i bought this phone the wireless charging broke in the first week. The screen started developing lines about 4 weeks in. The camera was half decent but no real optical image stabilisation to speak of. Its just a expensive brick now. That no longer works.
3310 still beats it 😅 Hair dryer and it's as good as waterproof to!
Steven Seagal looks like the Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons now, but don't tell him I said that...

Well if you would have left the screen protector on like they had installed and gave you an extra one that's part of the whole protection idea everyone knows that gorilla glass is going to break I don't care how rugged the case of the phone is if you don't have some sort of screen protector on it it will break and that's why they installed one so that's more your fault than theirs for the screen breaking

Screen protectors only protect against scratches, they do absolutely nothing to protect from an actual impact.

I see the V20's again at its launch special price on Aliexpress of USD$299. It seems to happen every time a rugged phone competitor to the V20 is on preesale discount. What can I say but 'never buy retail?'
Hahaha 🤣 great review
my dad would still end up cracking it
Not good performance wise as the Nokia G11 which costs only £130 has as powerful a cpu inside
I have this phone and it's absolutely terrible. First accidental drop shattered 25% of the screen. The texting is terrible; i almost always press a wrong letter. The camera is very bad and discolored. The night vision is practically no good and only takes photo's during night vision mode. The audio during call's is bad. And the outer rubber covering wears out over time.
Good luck with Doogee phones. I bought 2 S97 Pro phones. $400+ TRASH. One the screen cracked after falling out of my pockets on gravel. The other's speaker blew out from the sound enhancement software. THESE pretender rugged phones are a FK'N JOKE! 🙄😅
You completely ignore all the very poor ratings that customers have reported on trust pilot, most scoring the lowest possible 1 out of 5, and most saying their Doogee phones have broken in a short space of time. Therefore strongly indicating the build quality is very poor !
Was keen on this until the screen went o. The durability test. That's a shame

Hey
Be careful Doogee recently got their hands on some cheap nand flash, many models are randomly doing Factory Resets as Android gets corrupted. Doogee will not refund.
I've been using doogee phone, and I can say that's the worst phone I ever had. Top of the shit. Problem with charging, problem with software, phone freeze for 4-6sec every time I tried to unlock that crap phone. Problem with using screen, NFC died, finger print sensor have to be set up again after few uses. Don't be a tester, as I was, and choose something else, not that crap phone.
