The T606 isnt an Android 14-friendly SoC, and its performance here isnt sufficient in a modern phone.
But it also has a smaller battery, which makes the phone thinner and a little less hefty.
Or even other designs from Doogee, like the V31GT.

In short, the performance and value proposition of this machine is questionable.
OnAmazon.com, it’s possible for you to pay $339.99, a significant reduction on the makers price.
But its still large, and wont easily fit into most pockets unless theyre huge.
It projects a pattern that is only visible at certain angles and has depth to it.
Im unsure how this effect is achieved, but the projected design has no corresponding surface markings.
I myself am right-handed, but I can appreciate that at least 10% of the population isnt.
Sadly, Doogee didnt include wireless charging in this phone.
A poor choice, as Ive concluded twice before.
Im not suggesting that it wouldnt be useful to someone, but its poor by thermal imaging standards.
What I found most annoying about it was that once self-calibrated to its environment (i.e.
These old data sweeps continue to ghost new images long after the view changes.
To be pointed if youre buying this for the thermal images, then dont.
Get an old Ulefone 18T instead.

Slingshot Ex.
However, thats only 32% more running time than the Ulefone Armor Mini 20T.
The bigger battery would normally suggest that it would charge faster since it is typically made of more subcomponents.
Neither made my must-have collection of rugged smartphones.
Should I buy a Doogee Fire 6?

But thats mostly the whole story.
If all you want is a decent running time, then it offers that feature.
You should not aspire to own a phone that can only capture video at 1080p resolution.

However, its a decent amount of battery capacity to carry on a trek.
More expensive than the Fire 6, but it has much better design and spec.
