Doogee S86 – Specs, Price And Review

The Doogee S86 ships with Android 10, which isn’t going to win you over, but the ROM isn’t bloated despite being customised. Except for an alternate launcher for the technologically impaired and some expanded parental controls, the phone is nearly stock. Let’s hope the Android 11 upgrade isn’t too far away.

We must admit that you are getting the most bang for your cash. There will be lots to write about in the coming weeks. It’s time to confront the elephant in the room. The Doogee S86 is large and hefty, but after spending some time with the Xiaomi Mi 11 and its 6.53-inch screen, I’m not going to pretend that it’s not. The Doogee S86 is more difficult to carry in your pocket. It’s heavier than your average smartphone, but anyone who chooses a phone with a larger display is used to the weight and probably keeps it in their back pocket anyhow.

When not in use as a defensive weapon, the phone is quite substantial in your hand. Doogee S86 is a piece of beauty (if you’re into diggers, tanks, and armoured vehicles). It’s wrapped in metal chassis with plastic reinforcement. The words “waterproof” and “shockproof” are engraved between shamelessly exposed screws, indicating that the phone means business.

This is reinforced with robust covers for the 3.5 mm audio socket and USB-C charging with QC3.0 support, as well as metal volume and power buttons, an extra mappable action button, and a dual SIM/SD card tray. There is also a fingerprint sensor on the side. From the standpoint of design, it’s a Hummer of mobile phones. It’s ugly, but it’s fascinating.

The four rear cameras remind you that the phone’s selling feature is more than just its size and outstanding 8500mAh battery. Doogee even upgraded the selfie camera with an 8MP sensor, knowing that this is what customers demand.

Take the “everything-proofness” with a grain of salt; while the phone appears indestructible, the screen is still the phone’s most delicate component. Dropping the phone on a stony surface would very certainly result in permanent screen damage, but everything else is fine.
