Does anyone know if the phone has a slot for expandable memory and how does the discount work via the app?..

into your topcashback account ofc :smiley: Yeah I know I used of instead of off, i was laid in bed on my tablet :P I paid 52.85 when I bought mine from them and you see the cashback below:)

Support TF card up to 32GB extended

I would never buy the big brand phones again. What a insanely good piece of kit for the money.

:wink:

Bought a phone from China recently. While it took a time to come, it is well worth it.

I bought a Redmi Note 2 and it is the best phone I've had by "25miles" to quote Tyson Fury.

And cost a fraction of the best from the "big fruit rival".

Can anyone recommend any good cases for this? Can you use tempered glass anda case together? Thanks

Currently have a 64gb card in mine and plan to fit my 128 gb later :smiley: can confirm 64gb works fine.

I pasted from the spec! Anyway it has a micro-SD card slot (as all phones should have - 2016 should be the return of micro-SD slot for Android).

Has anybody used LTE on 3 network and can confirm it works ok?

Actually supports at least 64gb as that's what I have in mine

Edit: oops I can see someone has already pointed this out!

​I use this with FreedomPop that uses the 3 network and 4G works fine.

Won't be here in time for Christmas?

Will this work in UK with Virgin SIM ?

Thanks OP - missed this last time. Heat

This phone is great and unlike many other Chinese phones has 2 sim card slots and a Micro SD card slot while others use the 2nd sim slot for micro SD. Screen is great, being an IPS it has excellent viewing angles. The 2GB ram makes changing apps lag-free, even with over 20 running in the background. It has better network connection than an iPhone 5 and Samsung J1 that belong to others in the house, meaning that I have at least 1 bar anywhere in the house with 3, while the others have no connection.
The only downsides are that the battery charging is painfully slow, even with a 2A charger I only got a maximum of 490Mah, making it about 10% charge an hour - okay if you charge it at night but not great if you need a top up in the day. Luckily, extra batteries are available for about a fiver on all the usual Chinese websites.
Camera quality, while better than many Chinese phones, isn't the best and lacks sharpness. I've included a couple of pictures:


Lastly, I found rooting this phone impossible which meant I couldn't load a custom recovery etc. Doogee hasn't included malware/spyware on my phone when checking with MBAM, however Doogee has been known to on different models so I highly recommend running a scan on yours when it arrives. If anyone has found a way to root it then please let me know.

Ditto

I would agree with the other often mentioned value for money Chines phones. I took the plunge and bought the DoogeeF3 pro and after 3 months it arrived. An excellent phone all round. Camera is fine for me and the features included on the Phone are excellent. haven't tried 4g yet. What wasn't too clear to me was the duel sim slot! you either have a micro SD card in and a phone sim sharing a slide in port so only takes 2 cards.so you can ditch the SD and use another phone sim but not all 3 options. Battery life is reasonable and there are various power saving modes available plus it charges really quickly with the basic included charger. only thing that doesn't work is the voice activated " find my phone" function but that's a gimmick anyway. let's hope these phones give the big greedy boys a challenge.

Check out the app lock permissions. A malicious app that can't be removed as its part of the firmware. Don't buy

I placed my order on Thursday afternoon and was only shipped last night, so more or less 28 hours after placing the order.

Just checked the tracking and it is due to be delivered on Monday 21st.

Amazing bargain and makes the price the mainstream makers charge us look absolutely ridiculous. As I've said on here before, I've seen the light and will buy my phones from China from now on. Similar spec to a 3rd Gen Moto G for a third of the cost...

They're examples of photos taken using the device! :smiley: thanks to him/her for providing some useful info/experience with the phone.

Hi all, does anyone know from experience what the average delivery time is from Band Good ?
I ordered a similar Phone a few weeks ago from this company, They have provided a tracking number but there is no information supplied when I click on it !
Cheers :smiley:

The camera has a 5MP sensor, but by default upscales to 8MP by default. You may get better photos by changing the resolution to 5MP manually.

Extensive review and thread here:

The app is showing at full price, should the 10% be automatic?


Edit Thankyou ordered

Cheers op, took the plunge and ordered it! Heat added.

Looking at replacing my wife's four year old Galaxy S2, and was wondering how much of an improvement, if any, one of these would be.

Anyone else made a similar step?

His does discount apply ?

These are light years ahead. In fact, all DooGee models are very highly specced for the price and have advanced features like dual sim as standard.

Just buy it. You'll be very impressed.

does anyone know if this has a compass?
cheers

How to use the Banggood voucher code Xmas06 ? It is not accepting when I enter the code

is it easy enough to turn off data using this phone? I get stung by EE if I go over my allowance so need a quick on/off setting for it. Would imagine that being on android it would have a 'settings>data usage' facility? Please can somebody confirm

will this come with eu or uk charger or is it just a usb charger anyway, thanks

Out of stock according to the app

Can't get 10% off?

The phone comes with an app lock app built into it. This is a somewhat strange addition to have it built in. When you check what permissions it has it can ring send texts basically control the phone. Because its built in the firmware you can't delete it. It also passes anti virus scans because its just an app with permissions.

I see I misread it, my apologies.

Thanks , ordered.

Many Thanks for your reply Torchwood :laughing:

Looks like it's out of stock and also the price seems to have gone up to £61.40

I'm still ready to process?

The phone doesn't have malware as such just a dodgy app lock app. You can't delete it unless you root the phone
Lastly, I found rooting this phone impossible which meant I couldn't load a custom recovery etc. Doogee hasn't included malware/spyware on my phone when checking with MBAM, however Doogee has been known to on different models so I highly recommend running a scan on yours when it arrives. If anyone has found a way to root it then please let me know.[/quote]Hi thx for cautioning for checking the Malware/spyware. Can you please explain in detail how to check with MBAM? This will be useful for all of us to check as soon as we get the phone. Thx in advance.[/quote]

Finally shipped at 730 last night, the tracking is real-time, which is cool. Should be here between 2:30-4:30

The EU warehouse when it was in stock.

Mine arrived yesterday took 3 days- but handset had scratches and finger prints over it and hasn't turned on after charging- bad luck I guess, have asked for a refund

It says 3G3g and it seems to be 4G speeds on speedtest.. So maybe it just doesn't display the words 4G?

Hi got it to work- thanks csi_guy! but still wondering whether it is used- does this phone come with a protective screen cover?

Got mine yesterday, really pleased with it. downloaded Nav mii app. worth the money as a sat Nav alone.

​​received phone, but there was no headphones in the box, thought you should get headphones with all new phones. have other people received headphones with their doogee x5 pro
