[Whip]

Hi everyone,

I have been looking at these three phones but I just can't seem to make up my mind. Any feedback on the devices would be appreciated. Any issues and problems that you aware of and is there any support on the devices as in updates ect?

Thanks so much.

Replying from my S60 - very happy and no issues other that wireless charging is not great (with fast charger the phone gets very hot and still charges slowly)

This phone is seriously indestructible ;-)

My S50 is working out great. When I got it there were already 2 updates that I had to do. Doogee releases update a few times in the first year or two. After that the support shifts focus to the newer models. But it doesn't take long for custom roms to start appearing. As far as being tri-proof, I'm confident that they are. I have yet to have one fail because it got drowned in a water trough or fell out my pocket while riding on.

As far as support if it breaks? Well not much unfortunately. Their support staff do answer emails very quickly. I've never had one fail so I haven't had to go that route, but then I change my phone every 8-12 months. When paying between R1.5 and R3.5K I am happy with 8 months. This lets me change phones 3 time in 24 months and still not go over R11K (the cost a a good phone atm). And I have decent specs all the time.

My DG700 had a rough time and I broke the glass when I wiped out and it went flying 50m down the road. On a second occasion I cracked the screen. It still works but the battery was tired and I killed it on the range. My T5 I bent then broke one of the battery connection pins on the phone so I loses contact with the battery. It still works but and drop and the battery disconnects. It's in my drawer as a spare. The Mix was my previous phone and I have passed it onto my son. It's just over a year old and is like new. My wifes X5MaxPro (not a rugged phone) she dropped and cracked the corner of the glass (not on the screen). I use that on my drone's RC and I got here a Xiaomi 4A locally as a stop gap. She will be getting the BL7000 soon. I've had a bunch of older ones too but they have long since been disposed of.

The S50 is a better spec phone and sleeker than the S60. But the S60 is more rugged (but chunkier) and has wireless charging and NFC. Can't speak to the BV phones.

If you are not looking at a tri-proof phone the BL9000 is coming soon and looks like a wopper:
Android 8.1
9000mAh Battery / 5V-5A / Quad-core Flash Charger
12.0MP+5.0MP / SONY IMX486 Camera / Dual PDAF / 1.25μm
Helio P23 Octa-core / Power-efficient Processor / 6GB+64GB
5.99" FHD+ / LG Screen
Nano SIM+Nano SIM or Nano SIM+TF Card
2G (GSM: 850/900/1800/1900MHz)
3G (WCDMA: 900/2100MHz)
4G (FDD: B1/3/7/8/20)
10W Wireless Charging / NFC

Thanks for the comments guys. [MENTION=405304]Dairyfarmer[/MENTION] I definitely need a rugged phone, I am in the agricultural industry and a Samsung won't last with me. I do like all three phones. Was leaning towards the Bv9000 and S60 due to the FHD screens, but I do like the specs on the S50.
