The Doogee S88 Pro takes some design cues
from Iron Man’s helmet and packs a massive 10,000mAh battery inside a properly
rugged frame. And the phone runs stock Android 10 out of the box.
The Iron Man thing is just two eye-shaped
LEDs on the back. They are RGB and are used as big bright notification lights.
The phone also has two customizable buttons on the side, which can be
programmed with three actions each (single and double click plus long press).
On the other side there is a fingerprint reader and there is NFC support.
The 10,000mAh battery is good for a month
of standby or you could play 3D games for 19 hours straight. Doogee says that
with typical usage you should get 7-8 days between charges. You can use the
handset as a power bank with 5W reverse wireless charging. The phone itself
charges at 10W wirelessly. The Doogee S88 Pro is a tough device and can survive
many hazards. The drop test was repeated 1,000 times showing that the phone can
handle drops from 1.5m height on a rough surface and 2m height on a smooth
surface.
If you drop it in water, it can spend 2
hours at 1.5m depth or up to a full day at 1m. It’s also IP69K rated, meaning
it has protection against high pressure, high temperature water sprays. Not
just that, the device can survive extreme cold (-55°C for 4 hours), can be left
out in the scorching sun and it brushes off high humidity and even acidic
atmosphere. It’s all thanks to the tightly-sealed, shock-proof frame.
As an Android phone, the Doogee S88 Pro
offers a 6.3” 1080p screen (with Gorilla Glass, of course). It’s powered by the
MediaTek Helio P70 chipset (12 nm, four A73 cores, Mali-G72 MP3 GPU), which is
paired with 6GB of RAM and 128GB storage. A microSD card slot is available for
expansion.
There’s a triple camera on the back,
featuring a 21MP main unit. It’s based on a fairly old IMX230 sensor (we’re
talking Xperia Z3+ era hardware here), but it can record 4K at 30 fps. Also,
there’s a 130° ultrawide-ange camera with an 8MP sensor and an 8MP depth
sensor. On the front is a 16MP selfie camera inside a teardrop notch.
The Doogee S88 Pro is currently on
pre-order, you can find it at the Doogee Mall and AliExpress. The phone costs US$ 200/€ 180 right now, but that’s a launch discount of its usual price of US$ 250/€ 225. The first units will ship out on June 21.
