Benchmarks

I am sorry for all of you readers but i have to say goodbye to the good and old Vellamo Mobile Benchmark, it doesn't upload anymore results to the server thus, i guess, it has been discontinued 4ever. RIP Vellamo.

I have used 3DMark, AndroBench, Antutu Benchmark, Epic Citadel, GeekBench 4, GFXBench, PCMark (Work 2.0, Computer Vision, Storage & Work 1.0) and PassMark PerformanceTest to stress the device to the limit. I won’t test Games or Video Playback because there are already some related tests included in these Benchmark suites.

3DMark – A FHD screen isn't the best for the GPU used in this SOC, so results might not look that high. Still, i would have expected way worse results.

AndroBench – Excellent internal storage performance, probably the maximum reachable on this SOC.

Antutu Benchmark – I won’t say a lot about this benchmark, this isn’t as reliable as others. I’m providing this just for benchmarks lovers.

Epic Citadel – Not buttery smooth frame-rate, but still over 30fps that is the minimum required for a decent gaming experience.

GeekBench – It is nice to see that Mediatek CPUs are gradually reaching previous gen Qualcomm ones, but single-core performance still requires lots of work from the company. Multi-core performance is pretty good though.

CPU

Compute

GFXBench – Almost impressed by the results provided here, i got way worse results in the past even on more powerful devices. Interesting.

PCMark – Just some standard scores, maybe i would have expected an higher storage score considering the AndroBench result, but it is still good.

Work 2.0

Computer Vision

Storage

Work 1.0

PassMark PerformanceTest – I don't have any other devices tested with this new-entry benchmark, as a start, use this results just for reference.

Conclusions

DOOGEE S60, a device full of great features and powered by some great hardware, but the software requires lots of work to get the maximum from the hardware. The potential is here, it just needs to be unlocked.

Excluding the software, the device is well-made, a good example of how a rugged device should be designed with no weird parts that would make the device look like a toy. Still, this is not for everyone, since you must have specific needs to choose this device instead of a classical more portable one.

So, do i recommend it? Well, as long as you can wait for some camera fixes or just don't mind about camera quality, then yes, definitely recommended.

Pros:

Excellent WiFi and 4G Performance

Outstanding GPS Accuracy

Solid and well-made

Good IPS Panel

Complete of all kinds of sensors

Cons:

Battery Capacity doesn't match the declared value

Both cameras require heavy software optimizations

Only one side of the speaker grills is actually working

A bit too easy-to-press HW keys

Sleepy (or freezy) fingerprint scanner
