Doogee S58 Pro – Indestructible Budget Rugged Smartphone

Doogee has officially unveiled a fresh, rugged smartphone called Doogee S58 Pro . Interesting model. Curious in places.

Let’s start with protection. From water and dust according to the class IP68 or, perhaps, even IP69K (no one will check anyway). Two hours under water (fresh and clean) at a depth of one and a half meters. And as much as 24 hours if the depth is a meter or less.

It also talks about compliance with MIL-STD-810G . They promise that you can drop at any angle (360 ° Anti-fall Angle). From a height of two meters if the surface is flat. And only from one and a half, if not very much. A kind of super-material of the body, very close for some reason to the material from which Michelin makes its tires. The temperature regime is not bad – from -55C to + 70C.

The chipset pumped up. Weak old MediaTek Helio P22 . Not that this is completely bad, but only about a hundred thousand points in AnTuTu. There will be problems with serious games. But suddenly there is a lot of RAM – as much as 6 GB. With permanent memory, everything is also good, 64 GB. There is support for memory cards.

The screen is so-so, mediocre. IPS-matrix with a diagonal of 5.71 “, the resolution is modest 720×1520 pixels (295 ppi). They say that the protective glass is Gorilla. What generation is not specified.

Cameras. Frontal – 16 MP. The rear block is triple. Either 16 + 2 + 2 MP, or 16 + 2 + 0.3 MP, the readings diverge (main, macro, depth sensor). The main module is a Sony IMX298 born in 2015, so don’t expect much from the camera. To be sure, it is better not to expect anything at all. Although, of course, miracles sometimes happen.

The battery is capacious, 5180 mAh. There is no information about the presence or absence of fast charging.

From pleasant little things. There is an NFC module, a fingerprint scanner, all major navigation systems are supported, modern USB Type-C. Wi-Fi was not specified. We believe and hope that it is dual band.

There is no exact price information yet. The smartphone flashed on Aliexpress for about $ 200. Click for More Details
