DOOGEE S200 review – “A potent smartphone for the adventurous”

by

  • Oversized ultra-high-res screen
  • Long battery life
  • Can withstand extreme temperatures, drops, and being submerged in water

Having been excited to test the DOOGEE S200 for some time after evaluating the DOOGEE V40 Pro, I must say it lived up to my expectations. This phone is a real powerhouse, with its mecha-inspired design and large display attracting users right off the bat. But there’s much more to it than that.

Unboxing the DOOGEE S200

The
DOOGEE S200
arrives in a sturdy black cardboard box. The device’s name is shown in bold orange lettering in a large orange rectangle. Inside, you’ll find this beautiful, rugged phone snuggled securely within a plastic insert. Upon removing the phone, you’ll find a USB-C cord and a European wall plug.

 

The DOOGEE S200 is Built for Harsh Environments

Much like the
DOOGEE V40 Pro
, it may take you a bit to get used to the s200’s weight. However, it’s not heavy enough to be burdensome and the extra heft will make you feel confident that the S200 can indeed survive drops up to 1.8 meters as advertised. And with its combination of Gorilla Glass, Aerospace grade alloy back and sides and Dragon Scale architecture, that confidence is well-earned.

This phone is designed to handle harsh temperature conditions, ranging from freezing -30 degrees Celsius to scorching 70 degrees Celsius, which makes it perfect for thrill-seekers. Furthermore, its underwater and night vision camera capabilities allow for capturing a wide variety of scenes.

Although I didn’t get a chance to try the underwater camera myself, I was still captivated by its overall image clarity. Its night vision feature enables you to snap pictures even in near pitch-black conditions, and with a 100MP camera, it delivers sharp images. Furthermore, activating HDR mode enhances the picture’s detail.

Gaming on the S200

I had a great time gaming on the S200. Thanks to the device’s Dimenisty 7050 6nm Octa-core processor and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, I was able to keep up with the competition in Disney Speedstorm and enjoy the fantasy MMO, The Legend of Neverland, without any lag.

Apart from being robust enough to handle graphics-heavy games such as Love, Deepspace, Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat, this smartphone boasts a large 6.72 inch screen that reveals intricate details not usually observed on typical Android phones. Additionally, its swift 120Hz refresh rate and high 1080*2400 resolution deliver a vivid and immersive visual experience on the S200 model.

The sound quality is exceptionally clean and sharp, keeping you deeply engaged during gaming marathons or live streams. Plus, it boasts an impressive 10100Ah battery that ensures longer periods without needing a recharge.

Spice Things Up with the DOOGEE S200X

At first, it seemed the phone lacked a way to search through your apps. However, type an installed app name into the Google search bar at the top of the screen, and it will appear just under the Google search results.

If you prefer a more stylish version of the S200, DOOGEE also provides the S200X for $459.99. This model shares most of the same characteristics as the standard device, but it offers 512 GB ROM instead of 256 GB and is available in gold, green, and black colors.

As a tech enthusiast, I must say that the DOOGEE S200 is nothing short of impressive for its price point of $399.99. Its expansive, high-definition display, coupled with an Octa-core processor and crisp audio, delivers a lavish gaming experience. Moreover, its durability against drops, extreme temperatures, and water immersion for up to 30 minutes makes it the perfect companion for outdoor excursions like camping. To top it off, its futuristic Mecha design and additional 1.32″ rear screen add a touch of sophistication and luxury to this device.
