Doogee S30 Review – The Rugged Beauty Comes With A Side Fingerprint Sensor

We have seen rugged smartphones from Doogee like Doogee S60 that has a large 5,580 mAh battery and also has the IP68 certification. Doogee S30 doesn’t come short of these standards as it brings other exciting specs to the table also. Want to know what’s new? It has its fingerprint sensor located on its side, and as far as I can tell, there are few smartphones with their fingerprint scanners at the side location. Let’s take a walk down the Doogee S30 specifications lane. Stay with me.

DESIGN AND DISPLAY

Doogee S30 is a very rugged device that packs a nice aesthetic along with it. The rear is made very tough and excellent in touch with the Kevlar fibre cover material. The octagonal shape of the smartphone coupled with the metallic body frame and Kevlar fibre rear cover all accentuates the device’s beauty. Its fingerprint sensor appears on its right hand side thereby adding more class to its design. The smartphone arrives in Black and Gold colours with a thickness of 14 mm. The other dimensions of the smartphone are – 156.6 mm length and 77.5 mm width.

The MediaTek MT6737T is what serves as the system-on-chip on the device. Its ARM Cortex-A53 CPU has four cores and clocks at a speed of 1.25GHz. The 64-bit processor makes use of the 28nm process technology. In the graphics unit, the dual core ARM Mali-T720 MP2 is what oversees the graphics producing operations. The smartphone runs on the Android v7.0 Nougat OS out of box. The rugged beauty has a 2GB LPDDR3 RAM that eases multi-tasking duties. The internal storage of the smartphone is 16GB. More storage of files is enabled on the device if a micro SD card of about 128GB is utilized.

CAMERA AND CONNECTIVITY

The rear dual camera setup of 8MP and 3MP qualities adds more pulchritudinous nature to the smartphone. Capturing of images and recording of videos by this camera setup is even made better with the f/2.2 aperture. A LED flash support adds brightness to the images. The front camera has a lone 5MP sensor that lacks a LED flash for brightening purposes. 2G GSM, 3G UMTS and 4G LTE network types are available as cellular connectivity on the smartphone.
