[Android General] itsHassenB:
Doogee is a Chinese company which's making quality Android phones for a budget-friendly price. Doogee has a great selection of Android phones but what really caught my eyes is the Doogee DG800 Valencia.

Inside the Box:

The unit itself with white back cover, another back cover (without Back Touch), 2 screen protectors (One of them is already installed), Headset with built-in microphone, Wall charger and USB 2.0 Cable.

Colors: White (with Back Touch) & Black, Blue? Purple, Orange or Red (Regular back cover).

SIM Slots: Normal SIM + MicroSIM.

Design:

At the top of the phone there is a speaker grill, front-facing camera and a light sensor. At the button we find three capacitive buttons. The phone's front is black with a silverish bar.

On the left side there are the volume buttons, on the other side there's the power button and on the top there is the MicroUSB port and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The phone buttons are part of the back cover (which is great, so you can kick-out the dust so easily).

Over-all, the design is simple yet stylish.

Back Touch Panel:

The Back Touch panel allows you to swipe between pages, open an app of your choice and makes the camera lens focuses. It's so smooth yet you need a bit of time to get used on it.

Performance:

the devices scores 17.645 on AnTuTu benchmark which makes it a little bit slower than the Samsung Galaxy S3. The phones performs well, there was no lags and it feels so smooth.

Epic Citadel shows that's the Doogee Valencia gets 60 FPS in high quality mode. That's mean it can run 3D graphics smoothly.

Battery:

The phone is claimed to have a 2000 mAh battery, however it doesn't stand too much. On one charge, you can run 3D games for around 2hrs, online streaming for 2.9hrs, local MP4s for 3.2hrs and 8hrs of MP3 Playback. This may be a frimware issue.

Connectivity:

The unit has all the connectivity that we use nowadays. WiFi (b/g/n), Bluetooth 4.0, 2G and 3G GSM. The device has dual SIM slots. However, it GPS misses the target sometimes. I live in Tunisia, sometimes it gives my exact location on Facebook Messenger and sometimes it puts me in Vietnam or Kuala Lampur.

Camera:

Both front and back camera comes with Auto-focus, touch to focus, HDR (rear only), Face beauty and Panorama. The phone also supports Google Camera App I was quite impressed with the photo quality. So far, I only took couple of shots of my Zippo and my BIC lighter but I'm willing to take so other shots sometime during the next week.

Operating System:

The phones comes with a custom Android 4.4.2 KitKat, it also comes with Back Touch configuration and some extra gestures called "Smart Somatosensory" which seems useless for me.

Conclusion:

For it price, I can't complain about anything. I just hope for a frimeware update to fix the battery issue.

Where to buy:

I got my unit from ChinaVasion and got it shipped via registered AirMail.

Bare in mind that you'll have to pay taxes at your country's customs. And even if you decide to go for DHL or FedEx shipping you'll pay taxes.

Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to post links as I'm a new user. Anyways, there is some unboxing videos of the phone over YouTube. Go and check them out if you want! ;)

I hope you enjoyed the review, and let me know if you need anything else about the phone.
