Is A £50 Smartphone Worth It? | Doogee X95 Budget Phone 

I remember when 50 dollar phones were complete shit. This honestly isn't half bad

Did buy one for my granny. Since she doesn`t use anything "fancy" the battery lasts her like 3 days. Its kind of a phone you buy for a old person or a really young kid to learn and dont worry if they gonna break it

No, serious now. This phone is really feature packed and a great deal. I mean £50? That’s what I call a bargain. I’m very surprised. Great review.

No doogee's were harmed in the production of this video.

For a young kid, this is ideal, no risk of them being robbed for a new iPhone, which you see spoilt little kids with.

Actually refreshingly basic. No gimmicky features to bloat your experience.

I'm on my second Doogee phone and I'm very impressed. I can't remember the model of the first on but the one I'm using now is the BL7000. That's a 7000 mah battery which lasts ages,although I can see a decline after two years. It cost about £150 from an eBay seller. There's no way I would stump up hundreds for an iPhone. This does all I need.

"Samsung Billie Big Bollocks Ultra..." 😂👍

Great unboxing and hands on review as always

Hi it's nice you showed us the Sim Card and sd card tray on this phone, I think everyone should show is on all of the videos!! Nice work

Quite incredible what £50 will buy. Sure it's no flagship but for people that don't live on smartphones all day long. I'm thinking of my parents, it would probably be a sound device for them, as well as children getting their first phone. Amazed they even put a triple camera lens effort slapped on the back.

I like how the nav keys are stolen from the old samsung experience based on android 7 and 8

Been using this as a secondary phone and as an IP camera through Alfred. It's great for that. Also it is fairly easy to massively improve the experience by using custom app replacements. I used a different launcher and widget (Niagara + KWGT) and it feels almost premium. Lightroom or Open Camera will substitute the camera app very well. Of course it is still slow and the speaker sucks, but for £50 I can't complain at all.

I love your channel and genuine reviews which are also very funny!! Please keep it up!!👊👍

A well-specced phone for 50 quid, it's better than the first smartphone l bought years ago, a Huawei G620s. I might get one of these as a second / backup phone for going out etc.

Unbelievable value. This is worth it!

I'm surprised by how good this is

I'm not sure that you can expect that much from a £50 smartphone. Bear in mind that this phone is 10 times better than my HTC Wildfire I had back in 2011. It shows you how far technology has progressed that you can get any smartphone so cheap

I come for the comedy and stay for the phones!! 😀

Something like that is all a lot of people need. Like a lot of my workmates I use my phone for calls (yes people under 50 ,they do that as well ) Texts,a bit of messaging ,e-mail and to catch up on the news/football scores. Phones these days ,apart from low spec ones, Motorola E's, low end Huaweis etc ,are very clever,massively powerful and do all kinds of things that are great if you need those features.....but not everyone does. Some turn their noses up at the cheapies but those who buy them know what they're capable of and it's all they want from a phone.

Only just recently found you RU-vid channel and recently bought the doogee phone it's ok for online banking and watching RU-vid, spent my remaining money I saved during lockdown on booze.

Chris. Would you be interested in viewing the Unihurtz Jelly 2, I’ll be preordering one before the end of the month

Very good review , good communicator

I love your voice (accent) what a great voice U 've got for real.

Hi it's nice to see a very cheap phone of the Doogee and the sim tray, at £50 for my gran and grandad. Woow dark mode! face unlock 🔓 No NFC. It's nice you show the Sim tray!! keep the good work Peace&Love

Pretty staggering for the price, tbh. Great phone for the kids.

This phone is so perfect for beginning with android developments with that lower price 👍

Amazing review you helped me spend my pocket money on this. One thing though get rid of the music and turn the brightness down

where do you get all your wallpapers from? theyre always so AWESOME!

This guy is using phone reviews to flex his inner weeb power level.

GREAT GUY. BRILLIANT REVIEWS.

Ok so in the past few years I've been rocking budget phones like this. I went from iPhone 5 to the first doogee mix, which was goodneith AMOLED screen and small bezel. I wanted to support their brand so I then moved to doogee mix two, main sell was dual selfie and that's it, was nothing like the first mix. Anyway, so knowing that both those phone had fake additional cameras, or perhaps they were depth censors, I decided to movie onto umidigi f1 play, it was good for 2day battery 5000mah, nice full screen with tear drop front cam. All these devices had shit camers, they are good for media consumption and long batter life. I got the Umidigi f2 for my girlfriend, great batter, bad camera good for media and medium weight gaming. I decided enough is enough and wanted to go back to a flagship with 2012 pricing and good cameras, so I'm currently using the REALME X50 PRO, it's good, really good across the board. The ONEPLUS NORD seems like it's taken a few ques from it after watching their reveal yesterday, maybe just coincidence. I got my girlfriend the Huwai P30 pro purely for it's cameras. Moral of the story you get what you pay for but smartphone companies are just taking the piss out on its consumers because we eat everything up.

$60? Dayum thats enough for me and my scumbag's activities. XD

Great video,keep it up!

I'm presuming that you could put a different launcher on there if you wanted more customisation

I came for the tech but stay for the anime backgrounds

Not too bad for 50 quid! Although I can't take a phone completely seriously when it's named like that, first I thought it was pronounced "dodgy" lol

Great video. Have a look at Samsung A01 and maybe make a video on it thanks 😊

Have tried several doogee phones. Not for sale in any shop here in Norway. But all phones had Norwegian language. The first and cheapest was an x10, slow, needed high quality signal to work properly. But absolutely ok for 25£. Then a doogee shoot 2. Nice phone with nice size on the battery but it had a defect screen from the beginning, sad story. Then a x20, great phone but after 3G was given the emergency companies the phone became outdated. Then a LTE Y8. The Y8 can not be updated for some reason. Works ok still. When I see the x95 I think I am going to try this one too....For sale on aliexpress for 620,- Nkr

Hi, i love your channel. I like how tell the price of device in both the usa and uk. Can you keep doing this? I'm sure im not the only one in the usa who watches your videos.

Nice! Photos are probably better than the new super budget Ilford or Agfa 35mm film cameras.

this can be really useful when used as an mp3 player lol!

Nice for the price point and I would say makes a good phone for going away on trips when you don't fancy taking your £1000 phone out😳😱

Tech u saved my life. love u

7:15, I see you like your own video there.

It also has an active FM tuner. But the battery is not removable friendly ( the Leagoo M12 battery is removable friendly and has a better CPU for about the same price ).

A Pocky pin device.. "Pass it to my offspring"?😂😂😂... Tbh you vocabulary and excellent references are one of the reasons I check you out(no homo though👀) As you say, Cheers mate😁

Also that face unlock is just a simple image, most old phones have that feature. I has it on my old 4.1 android HTC phone.

Wow! That 2mp telephoto is surprising

Your wallpapers are 😍😍

Good for a Backup phone :-) Where did you see it as £50 in UK Chris ??

Does that include a charger?

Hi there. How does it deal with GPS? Is it OK for navigation, do you think?

They've literally sold out on Aliexpress (from Belgium) but are available from China with the usual looooooong delay. Only other time I've seen a similar priced phone is Tesco Outlet on ebay

What’s the call quality like on this phone and does it handle emails well?

Not a bad phone considering the price. I mean, anyone buying a £50 phone for the camera deserves to be disappointed tbh. It is, as you say, a good idea if you wanna take it to a festival or on a camping trip (not to detrimental if it is lost or stolen). It’s also a good idea for an elderly relative or for a back up phone.

The thing about Android you can download a launcher on the downside the I don't think Google cam works well with the mediatek chips

Hi can you mention an important thing with budget phones nfc or can you use scan card payments which i think is good to use.

I may get that phone. A backup phone is always welcome.

In my experience I found I need to spend at least £100 for a decent performing smartphone. Without freezing all the time or apps struggling to perform.

I have like £100 budget on a phone and this helped

Vivo u20 or redim 9 . Which one is good I wanna buy one

Thanks for this review. My current smartphone is about to die and I'm not due to an upgrade until January so I needed a basic cheap phone to last me for a bit. Ordered one from Amazon and I should have it by tomorrow, with a 20 percent discount code I got the phone for £55.99, which is an absolute steal. However, the phone has Android 10 Go, which limits it a bit, but I found at least two custom roms for the Doogee X95. Lineage 17 and a AOSP custom rom, which I will attempt to install. You also mentioned that this phone has only micro USB, but it has a 10 Watt charger and the phone supports fast charging as well. But if you want a phone in the same price range, with similar specs and it has the modern USB-C connection, I can recommend to check out Oukitel C19. But thanks again for another brilliant review.

What wallpaper r u using tell me?

Pretty amazing that we can get phones like thos for so cheap like wow

hi , how do you activate the fast charge ??

What was the geekbench 5 result?

This review made me buy one.

*I'd really appreciate if you will do a review of the Realme X50 pro player edition cause I haven't seen a lot of review from this underrated smartphone.And I think It can really compete against poco f2 pro in terms of performance.*

The camera tech doesn't look too bad for the price. I have a galaxy a11 and it was 220 Canadian and it has about the same quality..

can you please give link for the £50 / $60 version of the Doogee X95? thanks

Where can i get those fabulous background pictures

It's an older phone but you should look at the Umidigi Power, I've been using it for 7 months and no complaints even for a £90 phone, only possible complaint is power and it doesn't come with a galley app but the Simple Gallery app is a quick perfect fix, good cameras and battery life with a FHD screen

seems it has exactly same monitor with nokia 5.3. I wonder if this monitor shape is standardized in low and mid price range phone (i think this is a good news as the screen repair costs should be cheaper)

First great video mate looking for a new phone too haha what you recommend ?

Support 👍👏 from Malaysia 👍

HI I bought a Doogee X95. My LATOP cant detect it when I connect it with a USB Cable. Please assist. I need to transfer videos from the phone to the PC. Its only charging the phone.

I spend more than this phone costs a month on my phone 😂😂😂

would you recommend upgrading from the s22 ultra to this?

I just bought it but is been and hour when I swich on says hello and yellow box Start I start its says checking for updates installing updates and I wait 1hour still rotation circle and battery is going fast low. Dont know what is wrong and how to set up anyone help here?

You can see the lag from just moving atound the home screen, grim

What about the call quality? If it's good, it could be used as a backup phone

Pls give the buying link of the every product you review and unboxing

For this price it is great!

Nice review. Try Ulefone next.

It looks like a Nokia X20 which has 128mb internal memory & 6gb RAM, & the same pull out sim, memory card tray. I suppose you could defeat the face recognition security by sticking a photo in front of the camera?

Great for weekends away to festivals or stagdos

Could you suggest the best camera for concert photo/videos ( bright lights/ dark shots)? Both high end and budget (£500 mark) that would be much appreciated as I'm lost in the jungle of phones

Where fo u get those awesome anime wallpaper!

So big fan of Cowboy Beebop myself!

I'm using a jio phone next here in India . It costs 40 dollars . It's just great . Only con is , it's carrier locked

Can anyone tell me if the Doogee x95 has a charging led and notification led? I bought one and there is no led showing at all. Thanks

Does it connect to wifi well?

Which is the loudest cheap phone please

Waiting for Moto G 5g plus....❤️

Where is it available for £50? Its £69.99 on Amazon.co.uk

Where do you buy it?

hello Do you have a mainboard for doogee x95i I should definitely buy it

You should probably get a custom android launcher for this phone.

hmm seems this has gone up to £85 on amazon now. still worth it at that price?
