Reviews for the Doogee S200

I've spent well over a month using the Doogee S200 now and it’s clear this is a device attempting to offer the full package at a reasonable price, and it almost achieves it. Let's not forget that this rugged smartphone has a very specific target market in mind, designed for those who work outdoors, in construction, enjoy camping, or have specific interests that benefit from features like a night vision camera for wildlife watching or caving, plus the waterproof camera for snorkelling or fishing. It's obvious that this kind of smartphone would certainly be appealing to photographers, but I think it misses the mark ever so slightly with its camera quality falling behind. If you're after one of the best Android cameras for photography, then you might be better off with some alternatives.

If you are on the hunt of finding a decent rugged phone under $400, the Doogee S200X and S200 would be a remarkable choice. There’s no doubt that Doogee sticks with its formula of producing a durable and reliable phone without skipping the necessary features. Both devices provide ample support during harsh weather and offer a relatively clean software experience. As for the performance aspect, the mid-range chipset and more than enough RAM render a smooth response. However, the camera department is something that could have improved to a certain extent, especially the dynamic range and lowlight. Yet, the battery department didn’t disappoint with a massive cell capacity. Long story short, both phones excel when it comes to ruggedness and affordability.

The Doogee S200 is, very literally, a solid smartphone, built for rugged use. True, the specs aren’t the toughest and hardiest out there - and for genuinely hostile environments, I’d think twice about taking it on the job. However, for general use on worksites, or hiking and camping, the S200 is more than robust enough. Yes, it’s big and heavy - that’s part of its charm, alongside the cyber-futuristic mecha-style design, its sliced corners and exposed rivets on the side. If you want a phone that’s durable, built to go up against the elements, and still looks great doing it, there’s a lot to recommend here.

A good phone that can withstand most of the abuse thrown at it, a genuine 2-day battery life, if not more, an above average camera for the most part and only lacking in areas that would have benefited greatly, such as not having wireless charging, or a true fast wired charging standard, as 33W will still take hours to fully charge a 10,100mAh battery. I can recomend the S200 but that recommendation comes with some caveats. If you intend to keep the phone for a few years then you'd need to bear in mind future updates after the first year will likely not happen. On top of that the camera and LCD panels won't be competing with even midrange phones from bigger brands like Samsung, Sony or Google. Even Xiaomi and OPPO have higher camera quality and performance. But at this price point, the S200 offers enough to hold interest I think, and for that reason it is a very good phone for its intended purpose, without going too extreme.

I really like the Doogee S200, especially with its current $339 price tag. It's a rarity in that it's a ruggedized smartphone that is stylish enough not to look out of place in the office or at a restaurant. Don't let the looks fool you; this is a smartphone that can take a beating, has a battery that laughs in the face of an iPhone, and an array of cameras to suit the most avid of snappers. The display is excellent, unlike the usual old-school blocky type that you find on many rugged smartphones. Even though I have an iPhone as my daily driver, this display feels nice and comfortable on my eyes. If you want a rugged smartphone that won't look too out of place in civilization and won't weigh down your pockets, the Doogee S200 is a great choice.

Considering the price, it feels uncharitable to mention that it lacks wireless charging and only comes with 12GB of RAM. Those limitations aside, the performance of the S200 goes way beyond what any rugged phone offered only a couple of years ago. The similarities between this design and the much more expensive Doogee DK10 are striking. The 100MP primary camera sensor isn't the best available, but it can still take reasonable photographs across a wide range of lighting conditions, including night, and has a good selection of shooting modes. Unless you want top-quality captures, the S200 could be the perfect rugged phone to take on holiday or onto a construction site.

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.
