DOOGEE X5, 5 Inch 3G SIM Free Unlocked Cell Phones - 6.0 Android Dual SIM Mobile Phone With HD IPS Display - MT6580 Quad Core - 8GB ROM 5MP Camera Bluetooth 4.0 - GPS Xender Smartphone - Black

For the first few weeks the phone was fine. Then despite the fact I'd not installed any apps onto it rogue apps started appearing, some of them multiple times. After a bit of research I managed to install a firewall to prevent them being installed and I installed Firefox (as the pre-installed Chrome was acting suspiciously and couldn't be removed). All was OK for a week or two until I got an SMS saying thanks for joining some dating site at £4.50 per week. I ignored it, thinking they wanted me to text STOP at premium rate, but then my credit disappeared a couple of days later.Going to throw the phone away, it's going to be too much trouble if it keeps subscribing me to premium rate SMS's.

Hello I would like to tell you about this nice smartphone Doogee X7 that I received quickly. The first impressions are very good because I received the smartphone well packed in a nice box and well protected in the latter.At the level of the content-the 6-inch smartphone-a transparent protective shell / another aluminum shell-the AC adapter-the USB charger-a screen protector with a wipe to clean the fingerprints-the user manualAs a preamble I would like to make a small remark, the battery of the smartphone is already preinstalled but a small plastic prevents the phone from turning on the first time, so it will be necessary to unscrew the shell to remove the small piece of plastic! I would have preferred that the manufacturer warn us in his user manual because I almost returned the smartphone seeing that it did not turn on.Then I would like to go around the owner, the smartphone has a nice 6-inch screen with a good resolution of 1280 * 720. The viewing angles are excellent because the screen is of a quality comparable to that of a high-end smartphone. The screen is bright with good color management. It is a capacitive touch screen that responds well to my solicitations. It is multipoint and it is able to recognize 5 points so it is very satisfactoryOn the front panel there is a 5 megapixel photo sensor. On the sides are the ignition button, locking / unlocking, volume adjustment buttons. On the top you can see the jack and the mini USB jack. On the back side we have the Sony 8 megapixel photo sensor with its flash. The smartphone comes with a quad core MediaTek MTK6580 processor supported by 2 GB of ram and 16 GB of storage memory. The bottom of the smartphone features the microphone and the back contains the speaker which is not exceptional but good c Is better than nothing. On the front panel you can see a touch button corresponding to the menu and two other touch keys which correspond respectively to the return and multitasking keys. The features are more than correct because the smartphone is placed with its price in the category of mid-range.When you open the phone, you can see that you can insert two Sim cards, which is quite practical: a professional card and a personal Sim card. It is a standard Sim card that you must insert into the smartphone so it ' Does not accept micro sim or nano sim.The battery capacity is 3700 mAh and this battery works wonders on this smartphone because you can practically use it for 2 days without having to recharge the phone which is rather rare with the current smartphones.The smartphone also features a GPS and bluetooth functionality. If the Bluetooth works without a problem, the GPS is quick to pick up the signal but it will fix only 8 GPS on the 13 available. Nevertheless we do not go too quibble for a smartphone less than 100 euros.The finish is superb on this phone and I appreciated that it is rather light (only 247 grams with the shell). The back of the phone is made of aluminum so the smartphone shell can easily scratch itself. Luckily the manufacturer has thought of everything and the silicone shell protects the back of the smartphone while leaving slots to access the buttons..At the storage level, we can see that the Android 6.0 Marshmallow system takes a lot of space but the 16GB internal memory is enough for normal use of the smartphone. On the other hand for a more intensive use with many applications and multiple photos, we will quickly saturate space so I strongly recommend the use of a micro SD card of 32 or 64 GB with this smartphone.I also appreciated that the phone can be adjustable and really responds to the finger and the eye. Simply tap the screen of the phone twice so that the screen lights up. Similarly, you draw a C with your finger and the camera can activate automatically from the standby mode of the phone: it is impressive!At the camera, we arrive at the strong point of the smartphone. First of all it has many adjustments like the possibility to improve the facial beauty, to activate the mode panorama and the quality of the photos is there. Sony's 8 megapixel sensor works wonders. The photos have a nice sharpness even in low light and the respect of the colors is satisfactory. In addition the autofocus is correct and the fast start, if we really had to blame something is the flash that is not powerful enough to my taste. The photos are a bit strange with this last so I advise you to activate the HDR because it improves the brightness of the photos. The video mode is more anecdotal because one is limited in resolution and fluidity (only 30fps). Unfortunately, the camera of 5 mega pixels in the front does not impress me, it will be just correct for the selfies and some conversations in video conference.The score on Antutu is 24,984 and it's really a great feat for this mid-range smartphone. Internet browsing is fluid and it has no problem managing the many pages that can be opened. I noticed no slowdown when I zoomed in or out of the internet pages.This smartphone even allows to launch some games, I was able to launch color switch and I was able to play some parts and it was very fluid. I was able to play a few hours at the last game versus Zombies Heroes and I can assure you that the game runs smoothly without any slowdowns or jerks. I was able to chain 3 parts without seeing the time spin so the experience was really pleasant especially on the 6 inch screen.In the end, if you are looking for a smartphone with a very good value for money, the Dogee fulfills its role fully. Internet browsing is done without worry, so if you want to watch youtube videos on its beautiful capacitive screen multipoint. The pictures are also of good quality. Ran that the smartphone is quite a bit limited for games greedy and we do not have digital recognition which is a little shame. For everything else, less than 100 euros, I recommend.I loved- Nice screen of 6 inches- interchangeable shells- Good autonomy- Fluid and fast for most applications- Quality CameraI did not like-mode video is disappointing-no fingerprint sensor

Bought 2 phones one for me the other for my partner had to abandon mine after 2 weeks and switch Internet off on my partners as both were plagued with some sort of spam random Web pages opening pop up messages unusable when Internet on, my girlfriend doesn't even use Internet but both phones bombarded with exactly same thing not a coincidence don't waste your money

This phone has been a nightmare and constant headache for me ever since i bougt. It comes with inbuilt malware and the phone is ridden with full page ads and pop ups every second wich is impossible to get rid off nomatter what you do. Apparently its in the inbuilt apps from the manufacturer. I have had to abandone the phone and seek another quality one out. apart from this it is a good phone

Phone performs very well for the price. But its riddled with spy and adware by default with no clear way to disable. Had to install a firewall to keep it under control. Malware auto downloads and installs apps, generates fake notifications and seems to have added me to junk sms lists. Very intrusive.

WORST PHONE EVER! the ads are inappropriate and pops up every 5 seconds. The phone downloads many different apps automatically and duplicates other apps on the phone so you have to be cleaning it many times a day. Awful!Phone also gives bad feedback sometime when you are on a call.

Damn phone keeps turning itself off every few min's, ads and games keep appearing, absolute rubbish.

I bought it as a backup phone when mine broke and at the end i end up using it as normal. Photo quality is not the best, but considering its price it's a great deal.
