I am looking to buy an Android smartphone when Cash Crusaders opens on Monday.

The brand is Doogee. The specs of the model I want to buy are

  • Andoroid 9.0
  • Front Camera : 16 mp Rear : 16 mp, 8mp & 8mp
  • RAM 4GB
  • ROM 64GB
The phone retails at just R2 199

Will this smartphone perform the same as a Samsung or HTC or Huawei with the same specs? I ask because of my experiecne with PCs. If they have the same specs,they seem to perform the same because they run the same operatin sytem
 
And the CPU?

Also, the customised version of the OS from the brand plays a role with all their bloat I think.

Doogee phones have adware. Not sure of the new models though perhaps you can test for us since I was also interested in buying that phone.

They don't have adware. Not for years anyway.

Been using them for many years without any problems. I would suggest installing Microsoft launcher as the Doogee one is a bit crap. Unlike Xiaomi, they haven't fiddled with the OS.

If they haven't fiddled with the OS that is a good sign right?

What experience have you had with Doogee? My wife, son and I have, for many years (5 in fact), only used Doogee. The first was the DG700 Titans 2. Not one has failed.

My last one I have just replaced, a S50, I have had for over 2 years. Other than a bit of trim stuck back on with Pratley's Steel, it is fine. Didn't even have a screen protector on it for the last 12 months. Maybe I'll post some detailed photos.
 
Also check the redmi phones, here is one from Xiaomi:

Looks like a great phone. Get it.
What model is it?

Doogee makes some awesome phones.

Also look at the Nokia's and Xiaomi Redmi's.

I am more interested in the 4GB ram and the 3 cameras at the back. A Xiaomi & Nokia will cost in the R4k.
