Fyi, they are not the best, cheap price, but constant restarts, lack of support. Incoming calls, ring but no answer button. Battle to get reception, especially when moving for example Uber. (Speaker not working out the box, replaced due to 7 day exchange.)

The 2 Doogees I bought are going in the bin.

I am smartphone less because my Doogee fell in the water in June. It was the Y9 Plus model. It never froze on me. I could play demanding games like F1 and PES 2020 without any trouble. The only thing wrong was the camera. Almost useless at night and not impressive during the day. Here is the thread when I bought the phone

Are Android Phones the Same?

N30 and X95 , thanks for the offer, however I like to sleep at night, so I don't give /sell people junk. I really am very disappointed in both phones. The X95 can even open YouTube without freezing and crashing / restarting. A few WhatsApp messages, then the next incoming, crash. Halfway through a phone call, crash. I reset the phone, hard reset, clears the bootloader cache, no help. A family member had covid issues, and we tried to phone them, however the X95 just world not work without crashing 2-3 min into the call.


The N30 , refuses to switch to mobile data, when out of wifi, only when you get connected to wifi, then all the data functions work again, ie email, what's app ect. The few times it does connect to mobile data, it looses reception for no reason. Tried both sim slots, crash, freeze for no reason. Screen response issues. Reset, hard and soft, solves for a bit.

Support from Cash crusaders is non Existent, after the 7 day exchange period they don't even whant to know you.

I do prefer as close to stock android as possible, but these are a waste.

Both those got entry level processors. Not sure how you can blame Doogee?

Not really. Scanning through Takealot and looking at the Vivo Y20 my Doogee N20 Pro is cheaper with double the storage, 2gb extra ram, better processor, camera, screen etc. Only the battery is a bit weaker.

Nice. I stand corrected.

Made with decent oversight, doesn't matter where you make something. In China, my manufacturing experience has shown, if you whant. $2 pen they will make one, if you whant a $100 pen they will make one as well. It doesn't matter where you make something.

Doogee can be blamed for releasing a phone to market that doesn't really work. Entry level processor or not. My ex wife got her 8 year old daughter a Hisense from Pep for R700. Entry level phone. Besides being slow it works without crashing or restarting. So it works normally.
 
Redmi 9A is the biggest load of crap phone. Won't get Redmi again. My LG that also had 2GB RAM was MUCH better.
