Photo Announcement. Doogee S99 is a typical mid-range armored car smartphone

Ending Doogee Day. Third announcement in less than 24 hours. We get acquainted with another smartphone-armored car of a reasonable middle class. True, this time without the support of 5G networks. The name of our newcomer is Doogee S99.

Protection. The abbreviations IP68, IP69K, MIL-STD-810H are traditionally listed. The smartphone is "allowed" to be drowned at a depth of up to one and a half meters and dropped from a height of 180 cm. I did not find any hints about which of the 810H tests were passed.

Iron. Last year's MediaTek Helio G96 chipset. In AnTuTu we are waiting for 300-350 thousand points.

Memory. Also everything withEvery day. 8 GB RAM and 128 GB storage. There is a separate tray for a memory card.

The screen feels a little dated. Diagonal 6.3 "(97 cm²), resolution 1080x2340 (409 ppi). There is no increased refresh rate, but there is a Gorilla Glass protective glass of an incomprehensible generation.

A good capacious battery - 6000 mAh. Wired charging is fast, but not obscenely at 33W. There is also wireless charging.

Cameras. Megapixels poured from the whole wide Chinese soul. 32 MP front, 108+64+16 MP rear.

  • 108 MP main camera with Samsung ISOCELL HM2 sensor. Ra�The solution is top-end, but the sensor has a relatively small matrix.
  • 64 MP - night black and white camera with infrared illumination. The sensor was not named. But clearly something less modest than usual.
  • 16 MP is a wide-angle camera that can also be a macro camera.

Other. There is dual-band Wi-Fi, NFC module, Type-C, side fingerprint scanner. Apparently, there is no standard audio output.

The page Doogee S99 has already appeared on AliExpress. But the price of $524.98 (₽36700), which is now drawn there, looks frankly overpriced. Official sale start� scheduled for December 22.
