It's a very good phone. I managed to brick mine after rooting it - all my own fault.

also some others

a bargain at this price for the pro; must resist!

I used Kingroot and it worked eventually. But I wouldn't bother again

Got one in my hand at the mo with a shattered screen and its a great little phone for the money. Shame its not cost effective to replace the screen really.

hmm would this be worth getting to replace mothers huawei y300? she's a basic light user but it drives me nuts how slow it is whenever she asks me to do something on it for her lol.
would this get hit with import tax?

in saying that in another thread someone reviewing after a month or so & says battery life dropper and screen unresponsive.
...

What is the code?

How did you get it for £37

wait. it says £53.99 for me. Am I ordering from the wrong warehouse???

What is the code. How did you come to that price?

Got this for £55 five months ago, great phone, made me question the sanity of paying £200+ for another phone. 2GB of RAM means multitasking is fast.

ryan433wait. it says £53.99 for me. Am I ordering from the wrong warehouse???
Same here. Code does not work.

code?

​You must be extremely lucky!

Love mine, RAM makes it a wiz, only realised it after using 1st gen MotoG the other day. Have tempered screen on from day one but digitiser cracked (poss when I dropped it - didn't really notice at time) at bottom first but has since weaved all the way to the top. Happy with performance and dual SIM is the mutts as work and personal all in one device.
Couldn't find the lower price, £53 ish from EU or HK W/H

Expire it

Over already? Did anyone actually get for £36.17?

COLD from me.

The iPhone 6 is much sturdier and the IOS is very user friendly. The battery life is also more superior and the chip is super fast. The screen resolution is HD.

So on all counts, this phone does not cut it.

Thanks

lol

What a numpty (polite version) :stuck_out_tongue:

I've searched but can't find the iphone 6 deal for £36, care to point me in the right direction?

Can you point me to where I can get the x5 pro for £36? That would be great.

gearbest is awful, stay away. the mobile is also not good, especially the camera, i own it, apart from that the battery is very bad. for this price it can be a second mobile though.

Hahahaha
Find me a iphone 6 for £36 so i can join the other apple lemmings

Thank you... I rest my case..

Is that your Doogee phone case?
This phone is not £36 it is £53.

You get what you pay for

Sent from my phone 9 3tb Adamantium case HGV battery

I don't know why all you guys are coming out with these comments... Clearly attracted to cheap quality products..

This phone may be worth £35, but it will be trashed in a couple of weeks. Assuming, at best, it lasts 4 weeks, you will need to buy a new one about every month, which will all add up...

So in doing the sums, you will be spending 12 x £35 = £420 on this phone over a year..

The iPhone 6 will not break for a couple of years. Ok, so the initial cost is higher, say for argument sake £600... this works out to be £300/year, saving you £120/year when compared to this phone.

Even more COLD votes from me btw..

Anyway, I'll get me coat.

CHEERS

I bought one in January for my son to replace his iphone while it was being fixed as he is pretty clumsy. It cost $56 and I figured it would last til his iphone came back, 6 months on he is still using it as he prefers the screen size, and especially the memory so he can store all his videos, movies and music.

It's not perfect, it's nowhere near as good as a new iphone but it was a real bargain and I'd prefer him to smash this than an expensive phone.

I've got the X6 Pro, which I understand is the same phone but with a larger screen. I really can't understand the overly positive comments. It's functional, to some extent but I really couldn't recommend that anybody should buy one based on my one month of experience with it. There's too many negatives that cancel out the positives for me.

I have x6 pro and it has issues like terrible camera, battery life not the best, keyboard is not great as when I try delete a letter it often just types llllll. Oh and the screen goes a bit funny in the middle (although think that's my own fault because I sat on it) on the other hand its almost stock android decent ram and I paid about £60 for it six months ago so if you don't need everything perfect in your life but do need to save money then its great. I imagine this phone to be the same

As for I phones not breaking first officer two of my friends have both spent over two hours each in Apple store queues waiting for repairs to there phones, in fact most people I know with I phones have problems with them.

teach me how to doogee

​Is this the weird screen artifact somewhere towards the middle, like an oily splodge?
I've seen that a couple of times but it's never been much of a problem.
I find that the phone generally runs smoothly enough, possibly due to the 2GB of RAM?

I wouldn't buy another one, how about yourself?

Oh and another beef I've just remembered, the phone keeps reverting to the standard keyboard but I always choose the Google version as I prefer swyping.

What a load of rubbish , gf had this phone dooggee x5 pro for 8 months not one problem with it and she as dropped it quite a few times , daughter as the doogee x5 now that as been dropped a lot and still going strong after 6 months. Iphones are better in every way but a lot more money , I wouldn't want my daughter taking a £600 phone to school so the doogee x5 does exactly what it needs to do.

My OH has mine, no real issues. Doesn't compare to my sony but it cost 10% of the price!

For people having problems with the screen.....mine came with a factory fitted screen protector. It wasn't very good and I think moisture used to cause these funny dummy presses. It works much better now that i have taken the protector off.

I think the specs said it has gorilla glass...well my screen is still fine and has no scratches.

I think it's a great phone for the money. Android 5 works really well on it. In particular, the system doesn't force close all the apps as soon as the display goes off......2 SIM cards and a micro SD makes it a great holiday phone.

Mine went back under RMA to the eBay vendor today for replacement. I used the free return postage offer from PayPal to do this - hopefully that works out!

The phone is fast enough and certainly responsive, in most instances but I had way too many issues with my example to feel content.

Occasional problems with the digitizer not recognising where I was touching the screen - this was a major problem when unlocking the phone or typing/swyping

GPS is horrendously inaccurate - it's too unreliable to actually follow the directions as the phone think you are off the road. That said as long as you ignore the misinformation you can get to your destination.

Camera is absolute crap compared to anything else I've used in the past 4 years or so.

Can't record skype video messages successfully 9 times out of 10 - you record, then it crashes or the video is garbled when sent.

Keeps losing selected Keyboard and reverting to standard setting

Occasional oily screen artifact - not connected with the screen protector, as far as I could tell - I had something similar with an HTC Flyer tablet many years ago.

Signal strength would often show 2 bars but in reality there was no signal available.

Battery life poor

Battery takes hours to recharge.

Call volume via handset earpiece was very low and often it appeared to change the way friends sounded...it was fine using a headset and mic.

If you find all of the above traits acceptable then this phone might be for you but did not live up to my expectations.

will fix the bloody typos on the pc tomorrow. .. :wink:

Doublechecking the GPS through C Lon...
it seems to think I am on the curb at times and generally slow compared to whats happening on the bus.
Yes, its bad.
Trying GPS aps to improve it.

I'd say £25 was a decent price for one - be interesting to hear how you find yours.

My replacement is supposedly being sent out on Monday

Think first officer is trolling or seeking attention
I've broken a Samsung and was a expensive mistake
I also use a doogee for work
In the last year I broke 3 at work , my own fault due to my work
Cost me £60 to replace so £180 over the year so not fussed
I have a Samsung for home and use my doogee for work
The doogee is a great phone if I'm honest

Hi all..I got the x6 this morning for father's day..how enterprising my kids are!..I've basically set up the phone as I like it and not had any connectivity issues so far...the store worked fine ..but for people used to having all the apps pre installed and being prompted through setup none of that happened with mine...I'm glad of this as nearly all the storage room was free..meaning very little bloatware . Put a three sim in it worked fine from the off ...speed wise its so much faster than gen 1 moto g..and the screen is 5.5 inches so it a joy to type and watch YouTube on for example....I'm actually going a bit short sighted so I recommended for anyone who's eyes are not great a 5.5 inch screen really helps. I'm trying to think of negative s..it strikes me as being quite light.and I can't imagine it being as robust as the moto g...I dropped mine all the time but its still going strong... Having said that I don't know many people who don't have a broken iPhone screen..the are hardly robust by any standards. Aesthetically it a similar shape to moto g. I'm down in watrose now blagging a free coffee and newspapers.. Gotta say their WiFi is lightning fast!...also meant to say data speeds seem good on three network.... I'm only on this a couple of hours so will drop back in here if any issue's develop but as things stand 40 quid odd for this is a steal....BFN!

I think the 2G of RAM makes a very big difference in performance compared to older phones if you run a lot of apps.

I had no complaints about mine with regards to WiFi connections but I did find that the phone would show 2 bars of network signal when there really wasn't any useable signal.

The 5.5" screen is a real bonus when watching video and browsing the web but I find the phone is just slightly too big to use one handed.

I found a weird problem with the standard browser (I installed Firefox in the end) because if I clicked on a link and there was an app or suchlike available for that webpage it would always try to make me download the app (e.g. Tapatalk) or with Wikipedia there was no way to view the webpage - it kept trying to force me to download a Wikipedia app....

I ordered a TPU/gel style case from Aliexpress to protect it from any drops but it's still not arrived yet.

It's only a quid:
Doogee X6 Case New Arrival Anti-fingerprint Anti splotches Tpu Ultra Slim Protective Back Cover for Doogee X6 Pro in stock

cheers case is up next.....a week in and a seems ok....theres constant updates i just went to vote and the phone dial screen is now like a windows phone layout...cant wait for 6.0 update

I've only had one update show up on mine - just a small 24~25MB file?

Funnily enough my replacement X6 Pro doesn't do this....
