The DooGee X5 phone is a unique Chinese budget device that has caused a huge stir among lovers of inexpensive smartphones due to the optimal ratio of a set of unique functions and an affordable price.
Chinese ultra-budget processor
The quad-core 32-bit processor is energy efficient. The amount of RAM is 1 GB, the amount of user memory is up to 8 GB.
The processor of this device is ARM Cortex-A7, 1300 MHz. The graphics quality is ensured by a single-core graphics processor represented by the ARM Mali-400 MP1. 
Smartphone screen
The display of this unique Chinese phone is 5 inches, the screen resolution is HD 1280 x 720 pixels. The smartphone has good viewing angles and a good amount of brightness. Dualtouch is able to recognize two simultaneous touches. Not all cheap smartphones can boast of such parameters. 
Device memory capabilities
DooGee X5 has a MicroSD slot with the ability to use a card up to 32 GB. The device easily supports work with microSD and microSDHC memory cards.
Features of the camera of the Chinese ultra-budget smartphone
The rear camera is 5 MP, which software stretches the photo to 8 MP (but the quality does not get any better). Good pictures can only be taken in good lighting. A pleasant surprise is the bright LED backlight, which allows you to photograph any object in the dark. The smartphone has a bright LED flash. The front camera has a resolution of 2 MP. Despite the fact that the phone has an average quality video camera, the output is files with good stereo sound. 
Communication Options
The manufacturer has provided the ability to support DooGee X5 networks 2G (GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz) and 3G (WCDMA 850/1900/2100 MHz). Dual-sim system is standard, capable of dual standby mode.
Operating system characteristics
The operating system of the device is represented by the DooGee interface, which was developed based on ANDROID 5.1.
Number of supported SIM cards
The phone supports Dual sim function (3D only). The SIM card slots are located very well.
DooGee X5 battery capabilities
This smartphone has a surprisingly powerful lithium-ion battery, so the phone can last up to 72 hours in standby mode. Its capacity is 2200 mAh.
This device is also interesting to techno-maniacs because of its high-quality build, which not all Chinese phones can boast of.
Important little things
And a couple more important nuances that cannot be ignored - the phone has a curved design, the body of which is made of high-strength polycarbonate. The latter prevents scratches from mechanical impact on the body.
Today, this unique budget smartphone is available in two color options - “back” and “white”. Its thickness is only 9 mm. The weight of DooGee X5 with battery is 165 grams. 
The DooGee X5 phone today is one of the best budget options, which still (despite the emergence of competitors) confidently continues to hold a leading position among inexpensive Chinese smartphones.
Doogee creates inexpensive devices with excellent performance. The X5 model, released in 2015, especially stood out. What is a cheap smartphone and is it worth paying attention to it?
Design
Inconspicuous, this is how the Dugi X5 phone can be described. Like other models of the company, the device does not stand out from the general background. The modern user is interested not only in the “filling” of the device, but also in its appearance. Unfortunately, "Dugi X5" is not able to boast of a bright design.
The manufacturer's decision to make the corners of the device sharp is quite reckless. The rectangular shape together with the ordinary colors create a repulsive effect. The buyer, even knowing the characteristics, will not pay attention to the Dugi X5 phone. The smartphone is made entirely of plastic, and the quality leaves much to be desired. Although the material seems light, the device weighs a whopping 165 grams. The hand quickly gets tired from working with the device.
The main drawback of all Dugi devices is fragility. The plastic isn't the best quality and definitely not designed to withstand falls. Small scratches literally instantly appear on the phone body. Fingerprints will also be a problem. The absence can be noticed by the number of fingerprints and dirt on the device. The rear panel especially suffers from fingers.
External elements only worsened the unsightly appearance. At the back of the device there is a flash, the main camera and a logo. However, the matrix is not located in the center, but in the corner. This solution does not add to the attractiveness of the model. There is also little interesting on the front part. The display, controls, earpiece, front camera, sensors and display are located on the front of the device. It should be noted that the touch buttons are not backlit.
The upper end is allocated for a USB socket and a headset jack. At the bottom of the device there is a speaker and microphone. The left side is empty, and on the right there is a volume control along with a power button.
X5 is produced exclusively in black and white versions. Standard colors highlight all the shortcomings of the case even more. On the black version, fingerprints are especially noticeable, while the white version draws attention to the corners of the device. The only justification for such a repulsive design is the low cost.
Camera
I received a Dugi X5 phone with a five megapixel matrix. The software slightly improves the quality up to 8 MP. Of course, the pictures lack sharpness and detail. The image is decent for 5 megapixels. You shouldn't expect more from a cheap device.
The HDR function improves the situation, allowing you to get rid of blurriness a little. There is also a macro mode in the Dugi X5. The smartphone is capable of taking good pictures of text, but only in good lighting. Actually, the entire operation of the camera depends on the amount of light. In ideal lighting, the image vaguely resembles 8 MP. Although in most cases the photo corresponds to cheap devices.
The device is capable of recording videos in Full HD quality. However, in reality, the video, like the photo, turns out blurry. It is especially problematic to photograph objects in motion.
The front camera also corresponds to the price. A 2 MP matrix was installed as the front camera. The front camera is suitable for video communication and in some cases for photography. The user can take a self-portrait only in good lighting.
Display
The Dugi X5 phone will really surprise you with its screen. The manufacturer equipped his brainchild with a 5-inch display. Of course, other budget phones have a similar diagonal, but a resolution of 1280 by 720 pixels is very rare. It is almost impossible to notice the “cubes” on the screen.
There was also the IPS matrix, which is familiar to modern devices. The brightness and visibility of the Doogee X5 is significantly better than that of devices using TFT technology. There is a slight distortion of the picture when tilted, but a budget device can be forgiven for this. There shouldn't be any problems with brightness either. Of course, on a sunny day the regulator will have to be set to maximum.
The display has one unpleasant feature. The device's sensor supports only two touches. This should not affect work, although difficulties may arise in games.
Autonomy
The device is equipped with a 2400 maH battery. Although the capacity declared by the manufacturer is still slightly different from the real one. In reality, the phone's battery is only 2200 maH. But even this difference did not affect the excellent autonomy. The smartphone will “live” with minimal use for two whole days. Calls, working with the Internet and small tasks will drain the battery within a day. Watching a video drains the Dugi X5 much faster. The smartphone will only work for 6 hours when playing videos.
Memory
The manufacturer installed a whole gigabyte of RAM in the Dugi X5. The characteristics are suitable not only for everyday tasks, but also for games. Usually, 512 MB is found in cheap devices, but, apparently, saving on the camera and design allowed the company to “fork out” and increase performance.
Things are going well with native memory as well. The phone received as much as 8 GB from the manufacturer. A little less is available for use, only 5.5 GB, the rest of the memory is allocated for the system. There is also a flash drive slot for expanding the volume. The device supports cards up to 32 GB.
Hardware
The processor of the "Dugi X5 Pro" is much more powerful than that of its brother without a prefix, but even the regular model has something to surprise. The device operates under the guidance of the MTK chip familiar to the Chinese. The 6580 processor model is a slightly cut down version of the 6582. The phone has four cores, each of them operating at a frequency of 1.3 GHz. The frankly weak Mali-400 MP is responsible for the graphics.
Despite the stripped-down version of the chip and a weak video accelerator, the performance of the Arc X5 is decent. The device can handle most programs. There will be no problems with games either. The only thing the user has to do is set the graphics to minimum settings.
Equipment
The low cost of the device is indicated by its delivery set. In the box, the buyer will find the X5 itself, an AC adapter, and a USB cable. This is the whole package. The price of the device will have to include the necessary gadgets. For example, the user will need a headset, a case for the Dugi X5, and possibly a flash drive. The user cannot do without additional protection of the device, because the quality of the material is low.
Connection
The phone is capable of operating in 2G and 3G networks. The device also has a GPS module. The smartphone supports two SIM cards, but when making a call, one of them is disabled. Not without the usual Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
System
"Dugi X5" has Android 5.1 OS installed. The system works stably and is well adapted to a smartphone. The manufacturer installed its own shell on top of the OS. Fortunately, there were no “Chinese programs”. There is also little interesting, a regular system, without any features or additions.
Price
The price of "Dugi X5" is especially attractive. The cost of the device ranges from 4 to 4.5 thousand rubles. For such an affordable price, the buyer receives a powerful, albeit unattractive device. The ability to install two SIM cards and powerful hardware hint that the phone is an excellent choice for work and calls.
Positive reviews
The main advantage of the device is the presence of a large, bright display. The screen attracted buyers with a quality that is rarely found in cheap devices. HD resolution is sufficient for watching videos, playing games and surfing the Internet.
The filling of "Dugi X5" is also of interest. Reviews noted that the smartphone is fast. In games, the hardware also shows its best side. For example, “Asphalt 8” on the X5 starts and works without any problems. Although the user needs to lower the settings to a minimum.
The amount of memory is also unusual for an inexpensive phone. The user has a whole gigabyte of RAM at his disposal. The device was not deprived of built-in memory either. The available 5.5 GB with the ability to expand with a flash drive looks good even on mid-range devices.
I was especially pleased with the Android version. The system has significantly expanded the selection of installed programs. Users noted the unobtrusive shell; at least there are no applications in Chinese.
Most of the owners chose the "Arc X5" precisely because of its low cost. The price is more than affordable, and almost anyone can afford the device. The requested 4 thousand rubles for such a device looks simply ridiculous.
Negative reviews
The main disadvantage of the device is its camera. Although you shouldn’t expect good quality pictures from a public sector employee. The usual 5-megapixel matrix does not stand out at all from the background of other devices. The camera lacks sharpness, detail and brightness. Only with good lighting can you get a successful shot.
The design of "Arc X5" is also downright bad. The material is not of the best quality and the rectangular body is reminiscent of cheap models produced a few years ago. Despite the price, the manufacturer could make the X5 more interesting or at least round the corners. Users are also upset by fingerprints on the device. The phone case is a “magnet” for dirt and fingerprints.
Bottom line
Although the Doogee X5 has many shortcomings and weak points, the device is definitely a success. Against the backdrop of minor problems, the advantages look even brighter. A modern system, high-quality display, hardware - they smooth out all the shortcomings. Once again the company managed to surprise. Creating a cheap and powerful device requires considerable skill.

At the front, proximity and light level sensors are installed on the front panel in front of the display. The panel is equipped with an additional camera and an auditory speaker. Directly below the screen there are touch buttons, typical for devices on the Android OS, but they are not backlit.
At the bottom end of the device there is a microphone and an audio speaker that provides loud sound. The top end of the Doogee X5 is equipped with two connectors: for connecting a wired stereo headset and a MicroUSB connector. On the right side of the smartphone there is a power connector and a volume key.
The back of the device is made of matte plastic, which quickly collects fingerprints on its surface. However, in the white version of the gadget they are less noticeable. The back cover is slightly larger than the front cover and covers the sides of the smartphone, so it seems that the screen protrudes above the body. But if damaged, it is easy to replace and get a new gadget. To remove the cover, you need to apply moderate effort, since the manufacturer does not provide a groove for this action.
The device is available in white and black colors. In white it looks quite elegant. This option is chosen by women, and the black Doogee X5 is preferred by the strong half of humanity. The smartphone is comfortable to hold in your hand, although it feels a little thick.
Smartphone display
The use of IPS technology in the manufacture of a smartphone can significantly reduce the strain on the user’s eyes and provide a natural color palette. The device display has good viewing angles. It is readable even at a large angle, which will certainly surprise owners of budget phones. The resolution of the device matrix is 1280x720 pixels, which provides a bright and rich color palette and clarity of the picture. The brightness of colors in the device is adjusted automatically. When the device is tilted, the colors remain saturated and do not fade, and the image is not distorted. The touch screen has a fast response to touches and presses. The brightness level of the display is independently adjusted by the light sensor built into it.
Doogee X5 hardware
The smartphone has an MTK6580 processor. It completely copies MTK658, but its production is much cheaper. The device of this model does not support new generation networks. This option is provided in the Doogee X5 Pro version, which supports OTG and work in 4G networks. Doogee X5 Pro is more productive, and the amount of RAM in it has been increased to 2 GB. The amount of internal memory has also been doubled to 16 GB.
Smartphone camera
The device has two cameras: the main one and the front one with 5 and 2 megapixels, respectively. The main camera produces good quality images in daylight with clearly defined details. Focusing in the camera is automatic. The camera features of the device include “panorama”, “photo” and “beautiful face” modes. When you select the last option, you get a picture with an even complexion, free of imperfections. The “gesture snapshot” function is activated when the user shows a certain gesture to the phone. The Doogee X5 smartphone has a bright flash that can be turned on/off. Switching cameras from one to another is done with one click of a button.
Autonomous operation of the gadget
According to the manufacturer, the battery capacity of the smartphone is 2400 mAh. With average use, the device can operate for approximately one and a half days without recharging, which is made possible by being equipped with an energy-efficient processor and optimized software. Of course, the lifespan of a smartphone depends on the intensity of its use. When playing video, the gadget can work continuously for 6.5 hours.
Doogee X5 network communication support
The device operates on traditional frequencies and is supported by domestic operators. To access the two SIM cards that the device is equipped with, you will have to remove the batteries. The operation of network communications: wireless Internet, radio module and others is stable and does not cause any complaints. GPS navigation also works well, quickly searching for satellites. Doogee X5 does not support GLONASS.
Smartphone interface and operating system
The manufacturer installed OS Android 5.1 in the phone. When connected to the wireless Internet, the system updates correctly, notifying its owner that updates have been downloaded. The device menu works clearly and without brakes. Although the device is produced by a Chinese manufacturer, it has a completely Russian-language interface. It lacks Chinese characters and applications. Only some minor functions are written in English. Among the features of the device is support for gestures. By activating this option, you can display a certain symbol on the locked screen, after which the corresponding application will launch.
The device does not have any unique functions, but its user can choose a guest mode, which allows him to hide his contact list, photos and other personal data from strangers. In addition, the device provides quick access to various functions. The letter W drawn on a locked display will immediately open a window with SMS messages. The letter M is responsible for the inclusion of musical compositions. Those who want to turn on the camera will have to display the letter C on the screen, and when drawing a horizontal line, the user will have access to calls. The screen turns on by double tapping it.
The gadget's firmware contains the necessary programs, has two keyboards, the Documents To Go program, a file sharing application and a pre-installed Play Store.
Gadget volume
The main speaker of the smartphone is located at the bottom end. Although the speaker says "3D Stereo Sound", when you turn it on, you can't hear any bass or stereo. The main speaker has a fairly loud sound, which cannot be said about the earpiece speaker. If the user speaks in silence, then this is not a problem. But if he is in a noisy place, he will have to listen to the words of the interlocutor.
The Doogee X5 smartphone comes in a cardboard box, on the front side of which the company logo is drawn and the model name is written. The delivery set includes the device itself, charging and a USB cable. The charger is adapted to the European network, so no adapter is required to connect it.
