  Overall Bad experience - eSIM functionality and sensors are disastrous

  If you're buying this phone for the eSIM functionality - don't.
  
  eSIM:
  This phone comes with android 12, but the eSIM management software is some proprietary doogee software. After downloading more than one eSIM (if you somehow managed to even download a first one, because most aren't supported, ex. Airalo), the phone goes into a restart+reset bootloop. The phone keeps switching between the eSIMs, and the phone will restart with a "factory reset" message. Once the phone has booted up, within 30-60 seconds it will crash and restart again and keep doing that until and if you manage to disable eSIM functionality. Its impossible to delete any eSIM off of it. None of the normal options work (via eSIM menu, via android settings, via factory reset) and Doogee plainly said to send the phone in for replacement as they weren't able to offer a solution after 4 months of emailing with them, providing videos and having tried virtually everything.
  
  Sensors:
  - The fingerprint sensor completely died after <6 months of use. While it worked, it would often unlocked with fingers not added...
  - The proximity sensor has been malfunctioning since day 1.
  - The ambient light sensor as well as all gyro/accelerometer sensors etc, only work randomly. If you open an app that reads the sensors values, they will only update randomly once every couple minutes and then work for ~10-20 seconds. This means, even if you have auto-rotate on, your screen won't rotate at all until your sensors actually decide to turn on.
  
  Camera:
  - The white balance of the camera is very bad - most pictures come out with very bad colors due to that. Only using Pro mode and changing the WB manually allows for OK pictures.
  - Any picture which is taken when there isn't full daylight turn out crap - you get vertical lines, unbalanced colors and lots of noise.
  
  GPS:
  The advertisement is all crap - the GPS on this phone under-performs, is inaccurate and jumps all over the place.

  Pros

  • Longlasting battery
  • Rugged

  Cons

  • eSIM
  • Screen brightness
  • Sensors
  • Camera
  • GPS

  Very impressed with general performance and really happy with the battery, sensors and main camera.

  I bought the phone for work purposes. I was interested chiefly on camera, dual GPS, resistance y performance. I was about six months searching a phone that convinced me. Finally I opted for the Doogee V30 due to impressive price-quality relationship. In my personal opinion: The main camera is amazing; the nigh vision has less range than expected, but has a great quality to take close night pictures; the dual GPS is suppressively precise; I use the phone along three days with the GPS always on (however, I don't play games neither use any social networks); the phone works flawlessly and smoothly; I use a lot the custom button and I find it very useful; my phone has a small factory defect a non-functional pixel) for which I am trying to recover some money instead of using the warranty; the shocks are easily marked on the leather of the back, for me this is not a problem, because I use the phone in the field and the falls are inevitable, I prefer to see war marks rather than break my phone, but for other people is something to consider. Finally, I would like to receive an update to Android 13 soon.
  
  Conclusión: I have experience in rugged phone for daily and working life, and I believe this phone, together with its variants (Doogee Vmax and Doogee S100), are currently the best price-quality option.
  
  Doubt: Only I can't not sure about the phone durability, something that we never know until some years have passed. I expect this phone to last me more than four years and that Doogee's planned obsolescence policy is more coherent than other brands. It is my first Doogee's rugged phone, and I know nothing about Doogee's phones durability. Does anyone have experience with other Doogee's phones and know about their durability?

  Pros

  • Battery
  • Main camera
  • Sensors (finger unlock, dual GPS, face unlock)
  • High performance
  • Custom button
  • (¿?) Durability

  Cons

  • Night vision (only in far distances)
  • Shocks easily marked on the leather of the back.
  • (Personal case) Small factory defect
  • (Temporal, I expect) Android 12 instead Android 13
  • (¿?) Durability

  • 9.8
  • Screen9.7
  • Performance10
  • Camera10
  • Connectivity10
  • Battery10

  Rugged phone

  Obviously is heavier comparatively with my previous device Umidigi Bison. However, it doesn't matter because of the fast charging and the long-term autonomy of the battery. And indeed the GPS locates the satellite very fast. Also, Greece carriers don't support WiFi Calling. And most important the fingerprint sensor is almost faulty.

  Pros

  • Battery
  • L5 GPS

  Cons

  • Fingerprint sensor

  • 7.6
  • Screen7.7
  • Performance7.0
  • Camera7.0
  • Connectivity9.0
  • Battery10
