Amazing price considering it's currently £57.81 on Gearbest so for this price you get next day delivery and Amazon service (though it's a 3rd party item)
I have a DooGee Y100 and presume this has the same niggles, not great camera, GPS could be better, buttons not backlit, but really these are things you can't really moan about at this price point.
Seems to be compatible with all UK 4G services.
From what I can determine this runs Android 6 Marshmallow.
With 64 bit SoC, Marshmallow, 720 resolution and 3000 mAH battery you should be able to get through to bedtime on a single charge.

Very decent price for a decent budget phone with largeish screen, heated.

Not bad. I had the Galaxy Mega 6.3 which had the same resolution as this and only 233ppi but it looked absolutely fine. Can't grumble at this price with the screen size, RAM and ROM :smiley:

More details in this review which seems fairly objective.

I have a Doogee but different model. Great phone and good camera. Beats the wife's and kids' Sony phones for value.

Doogee style was always my favourite

This is not a great deal - paid £50.99 for mine a month ago.
It's OK if all you want is a large screen, 2GB of RAM helps too but everything else is very much "Meh!" in my opinion

I couldn't even get mine to reflash a different 5.1 ROM (due to various issues with the phone) or the Marshmallow ROM that I found...YMMV...

Two-point only touch makes this a pain to use. Even pinch zooming in google maps is a chore. If Doogee could sort this on their phones then they would be OK.
had one for about 3 months and noticed its really difficult to swype on hot days. I dont know if this is because the device itself is getting to hot, or its picking up moisture on the screen (from my slightly sweaty fingers) as a touch?

Understood and I've no doubt you're right. My friend ran over his Galaxy Alpha with a forklift truck so asked me to find him an acceptable cheapish phone asap, that will last 5 months until he can get a new one on contract. This was the best I could find on next day delivery.
I know it won't stand up next to the Alpha but everything else around this price bracket seemed far worse, i.e. Lumia 435, Moto E, even the Vodafone Smart Prime 6 is £70. To get something better, the clearly superior Smart Ultra 6 is £40 more and £99 for something that will be sat in the back of a drawer in 5 months time seemed extravagant to him.
I'm treating this as the best of a mediocre bunch, so 'Meh!' is the baseline :smile:

good specs for the price..however... it's only good for your dogee because of the build quality, than again your Dog probably won't use it much so it will be perfect for him!

I have the X6 and found it to be very usable. havnt put too much on it in terms of apps etc but has dealt with all the basics well. isnt the fastest phone and the camera isnt good.... but what do you really expect for £40. Makes calls, texts and interweb is fine. heat from me

I have one of these, does everything I need. Maybe not fast enough for some gaming apps, but if you don't need that I recommend.
