DOOGEE Rugged Smartphone, S59 Pro Android 10, 4GB+ 128GB, 16MP + 8MP Four Cameras, 10050mAh Battery, 5.71 inches HD+, IP68 Waterproof Mobile Phone, 4G Dual SIM, NFC/GPS, US Version - Fire Orange

I've only had this phone 24 hours but what I can say is that it has all the issues corrected that I did not like on my s96. The speaker phone is loud unlike the 96, all the apps were corrected with small details like message and missed phone call counters on the icon on the home screen, which is something you cannot do on the 96. Battery is incredible, 1 day of use and still at 70%. Not sure the difference between the s96 and s59 Android software, but the s59 is substantially better. Really happy with this phone.

I was in need of a new phone and purchased this one for 2 reasons. The first reason being that I work a very physical job and spend most of my free time in the outdoors in rough conditions so durability and waterproofing always appeals to me and it's very hard to find in this price range. The second reason was the long battery life. I didn't care about the bulkiness of the phone, I just liked the idea of a monster battery. Well I never really got to put those to the test because the phone had too many other annoying quirks for me to keep using it after about 2 weeks... Number 1: the video camera was terrible. I record some YouTube content and while it does not require a super high quality camera, this thing has a major problem focusing up close. It focuses in and out really quick and makes the videos unwatchable. The audio was the worst part..anything recorded with this phone gets louder and softer almost in the same way that the camera won't focus. Don't expect to be recording any video worth posting to social media. The photos on the other hand were just adequate but not great. The other (and perhaps most annoying) issue was the fingerprint scanner. It's on the side of the phone so you're constantly touching it and apparently it also acts as a quick command button that I could not figure out how to disable. For example, while surfing the internet if any part of your hand barley touches that scanner it will pull up the search bar and this happens every few seconds. I could not find a way to turn that off on the phone or the browser. Likewise, if you're using YouTube and you touch the sensor it makes the play/pause button pop up on the video and you have to tap the screen to make it go away. I could not find any information about this online. Another major issue is that the body of the phone is basically a thick phone case and I'm sure it's tough, but it's so thick that all of my headphones and USB chargers had a hard time plugging in. The USB plug will fall out of the charging port if you move the phone at all and I woke up several times to a phone that did not charge at all during the night. Cell service was also noticably worse than any phone I've had in the past 7 or 8 years at least. People had a hard time hearing me, I constantly missed calls, and it would drop all the way down to 3g in places where I usually have great service. I did not even know that was possible these days. This phone also boasts a super loud speaker and it is, but...loud does not mean good. It's very tinny when turned all the way up. So it would seem that for whatever good features this phone may have, there's multiple issues that cancel that out to the point that I could not even recommend this as a budget phone for someone who just needs a durable phone and doesn't care about any other features. The bad cell service I experienced takes it out of that equation. I've owned plenty of phones in the $200-$300 range and there are some fantastic deals out there but this is not one of them.

Face recognition does not work at all, has some glitches that are annoying, doesn't like working with a memory card, everytime you turn the phone on it tells you to format the card so everytime you turn on the phone you have to erase everything on the card it's the exact opposite of having a memory card. Good battery life.

The Phone is heavier than other phones, because the battery is huge. Having said that; it has a very long battery life.

The phone very strong. Storage capacity is big could save a lot .And camera is clear. I like it so much it's great product.

I bought two of these phones and gave them to my wife and son for Christmas 2021. By the end of March, one phone has charging port problem, where it won't connect. Tried a recommended wireless charger, but also won't work. Also, this one phone has a microphone problem, where you have to speak into the bottom of the phone to be barely heard. Got one lemon out of two. The second phone is great and is used more. You'd think Doogee would stand behind their product a little more. Will update this review, either way. So far, an expensive mistake.

Doesn't let me have an app menu everything is on the home screen and can't search for apps. Constantly double tapping keys when trying to type with one hand. All around not the best phone. Only thing food is I charge it once every 4 days

Love my phone! It is durable, waterproof, and had the features that I need. It is a bit bulky, but I like that I know it is in my hand. No need for an added car and comes with an extra screen protector. And battery life is excellent. Update: Phone is performing well still, but they do a poor job on updates and apparently no plans to upgrade to Android 11. That is a disappointment.
