Doogee is likely best-known for its rugged devices, but the brand also offers a few conventional smartphones. The Note 59 Pro+ falls into that category and is a generally well-equipped phone that's now available on Amazon for $319, but a $70 launch coupon takes that price down to $249. The handset is sold by a third-party marketplace seller, but Amazon handles the shipping.
In terms of specifications, the smartphone is equipped with an Unisoc T8200 SoC with eight cores and a 5G modem. This processor is paired with 12GB RAM, and 512GB of internal mass storage, which should provide enough space for numerous apps, photos and videos. Storage expansion via a microSD card is supported, but only if users only need one of the two SIM card slots. While the current Android 15 is pre-installed, buyers shouldn’t expect any noteworthy software update support from Doogee.
Furthermore, the 6.75-inch display is a 6.75-inch has a 120Hz refresh rate and resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels. However, this IPS screen only hits up to 450 nits of brightness and has a lower contrast ratio than the widespread AMOLED panels. Meanwhile, the main camera has a resolution of 50 megapixels, while the front camera has 8 megapixels. The selfie camera can also be used for face unlock, but a fingerprint sensor is onboard as well and offers a second method of biometric unlocking.
The Note 59 Pro Plus comes with NFC for contactless payments, and the GNSS module supports GPS, Glonass, and Galileo. A compass is built-in and can be helpful for navigation. According to Doogee, the Note 59 Pro+ weighs about 7 oz and is 0.34 inches thick. Lastly, the 6,250mAh battery is relatively large but can only be charged at up to 18 watts, which is not particularly fast by modern standards.
