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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
