Rugged Smartphone, DOOGEE S97 Pro Rugged Phone 8GB + 128GB 8500mAh, Android 11 Phone with 40m Rangefinder, 48MP Quad Camera, 4G Dual SIM IP68/IP69K Waterproof Phone, 6.39 inch, NFC/Face ID/Fingerprint

Battery is great, phone is really powerful for the price benched marked as top 30.only problems is with the software, apps not loading properly which have been fixed but this might be on the android 11 side, and the phone is quite heavy.It does have the open source android OS which means you have to download an app launcher to store your apps not on your home screen but if you are slightly tech savvy this shouldn't be a problem. Google, Google assist, and the play store is still included.

Let's start with the good things: Looks good - nice design; it has a good enough speaker and mic; camera has a wide angle option; the laser measuring tool is a nice feature although it doesn't work on all surfaces and it doesn;t take into account the phone lenght. Wireless charging (not used yet but good to have)The bad things: On the paper, it has almost the same configuration as Oukitel WP7 I previously had (till the screen cracked from 1m fall on the ground) but in reality Doogee S97 Pro is sluggish, and the camera does fade photos and also the screen doesn't have the same intense colours and clarity as Oukitel.I've seen mentioned on others reviews that sometimes on calls the other person doesn't hear you at all and it's true, it happened a few times, especially with some numbers. I had to call several times until the connection was proper. That's really annoying!The battery lasts definitely less than Oukitel WP7 of the same size.Also as others mentioned its really annoying that the buttons take action while the phone is locked. You can lower the volume or open the flashlight by mistake.Overall I'm a bit dissapointed as I was expecting the same perfomances as Oukitel WP7 (which has one single problem - the microphone so bad that on speaker the other person doesn't hear you well)Conclusion: will have to change the phone with one that really does what it's says on the tin.

Dropped my Doogee s97pro less than a meter and screen shattered, not impressed for a "tough phone" also at 2 weeks old the charge port has given up working.

The media could not be loaded.  I bought this phone to use at work because of its durability. It’s waterproof, dust proof and comes in an armoured shell for protection against drops and knocks.It’s a good sized chunky phone that has a lot of tech inside.It has 8GB RAM and 128 GB of storage which can be extended via a micro SD card in needed. It has an Octa Core processor and massive 8500mAh battery. All of this makes for a smooth operating phone.The camera system is great too having a quad camera set up with the main camera being a 48MP Samsung camera. This offers great images which are nice and sharp and clear. Recording video is great too as it can record in glorious 4k.This phone also has a side fingerprint reader which is very accurate and fast and can also use face recognition for extra security.The great feature of this phone is the rangefinder. It has a built in laser with a 40m distance that can measure Length, Area, Volume and Pythagoras. You can simply measure by pressing the 2nd button on the left side of the phone. This works very well and is easy to access.The Doogee S97Pro also has wireless charging and NFC meaning you can make contactless payments.Overall I am absolutely delighted with this phone and for the following reasons I have decided to rate it 5 stars:Looks greatIs very fast and smoothExcellent 4G signal strength with my carrierExcellent screenBrilliant camera set upGreat RangefinderExcellent battery lifeGreat charge timesWireless chargingNFCGo out and buy this phone, it’s great for many different environments.

Finger print works perfectly wellBattery, superb, could go 72 hours on high usage without charging.Value for price; except for the price variation with other dealers, this device is great if valued between £200 to £215 as it is currently benchmarked at £194 equivalent in USD and other currencies.

The battery life is amazing. I use my phone a lot for work and leisure, and only charge it every two days. Before it was every day, maybe even twice a day. It's got plenty of storage and it's a very fast phone, good audio output and really sturdy. I call it an idiotproof phone, cause it's so difficult to damage it even if you're a clutz like I am. The one thing that does bother me though, is that the camera quality is a bit rubbish. Not really clear, takes ages to get the right focus, so don't be expecting to make stunning pics for insta on this. Otherwise I'm very happy with the phone. Hopefully it will last longer than my previous rugged phone

Nice clear screen, very responsive and quick to load apps. Not used face recognition as yet. Battery last days and wireless charges great. Good cameras. As with all phones it takes some learning but very simple to operate. Large easy screen and adaptive light. Comes with rapid charger but no pad for wireless also screen protector fitted and one spare.On the downside it is a weighty piece and with the leather cover that I have smaller hands may struggle.Overall great value for money.

After having this phone for 2 weeks I feel I can now review it. What a great phone. I can't fault any of it. Works great. The only thing missing was the charger. There wasn't one in the box. But I purchased a Anker 10 w wireless charging base and that works great. Slow charge over night. Now the battery is great. I'm a heavy user of phones for work and this now gets charged every other night. I use about 60% over the 2 days (48 hours) so no more battery running out issues. The screen is clear and fine for watching hd and 4k films. You can can leave everything on. Ie blue tooth, location, 4g, and has no effect on length of time easy do a full-day. And this is with battery saver off and screen on full light. Can't fault it. Hope it lasts a few years. I will update review if it all goes wrong. Thanks
