At one time, Chinese manufacturers of the second wave like Doogee were late in carving up the smartphone market. And they do not have all the power and resources of the BBK concern behind them, which is behind OPPO and Realme. In such conditions, you need to be smart and find your own way. Looks like Doogee found it. In 2021, the company is fed by specialized armor-piercing Titan tubes and unique ultra-low-cost Doogee X smartphones with price tags in the region of $70–90. Such price tags are rare even by Xiaomi standards.


The core of the series is made up of simple and unpretentious devices with modest hardware and conventional single and double cameras. An important distinguishing feature of which is practicality. Instead of the traditional glossy plastic, the company's designers use a textured material that is not quite familiar, thanks to which the smartphone does not slip in the hands at all and is not scratched so quickly. And the texture itself often looks more interesting than the ubiquitous pearlescent or gradient coloring.

All the disadvantages of Doogee X are the result of the company's pricing policy. In order to save money, all devices are equipped with frankly low-cost-level IPS with mediocre colour reproduction and low resolution a la 1200 × 540 pixels. By no means can they be called camera phones - in 90% of cases the cameras are either single or double, and the quality of the shooting is such that it is better to get by with the metre readings or photos of the crosses you liked in the store. It's best not to post this on Instagram. However, good cameras in entry-level smartphones are nonsense from any manufacturer. There are no fast chargers, NFC, biometric protection and modern communication modules, which automatically raises Doogee X devices to the top. category "smartphones for grandmothers".
