Doogee V20S: 5G smartphone with a second display, tough housing and dual SIM

Doogee is expanding its already extensive range of rugged smartphones. Like other smartphones, the Rugged V20S comes with a second, rear-mounted display that is an OLED screen with a resolution of 480 x 228 and measures 1.58 inches diagonally. This can be used to display the date and the battery status, for example, as well as a compass. Users can also control music playback there, display notifications and answer calls.

Several cameras are available. The main camera has a resolution of 50 MP, the night vision camera 24 MP, the ultra wide-angle/macro lens 8 MP, and the front camera 20 MP. Doogee installs a Dimensity 6020 as the SoC, which combines two Cortex A76 and six Cortex A55 cores. The RAM amounts to a generous 12 GB, while the internal storage is 256 GB and can be expanded via a memory card.

Dual SIM operation is possible and connection to 5G mobile networks is supported. The maximum brightness of the AMOLED is given as 500 cd/m² and the resolution as 1080 x 2400. Corning Gorilla Glass is used. The model is said to be IP68, IP69K and MIL-STD-810H certified. A fingerprint sensor is installed on the side, and the 6000 mAh battery can be charged with up to 33 watts. NFC and a classic jack socket are also included. The installed operating system is based on Android 13.

The Doogee V20S is scheduled to be delivered this month; the smartphone is listed at a price of just under $500. Information on dimensions and weight is still lacking.
