Design

Starting from the design, good use of rubber and aluminum to protect the phone from shock and drop. The device feels really solid, probably one of the advanced-rugged phones in the price category, and overall the build quality is decent. Being a rugged phone, it isn't possible to expect the most compact device. Due to the huge battery and body cover with multiple layers of rubber, I feel it cumbersome and bulky (Height: 172 mm, Width: 82 mm, Thickness: 15.5 mm and Weight (including battery): 320 g) although heavy it seems to be balanced in handling.

Main Display

Biometrics and passwords

The Doogee S98 features three types of biometrics. Screen lock , fingerprints, and face unlock.

I tried both fingerprints and face unlock and found it very accurate and fast, and face unlock worked even in dark as well.
