DOOGEE V Max S 5G Unlocked Rugged Phone,Dual Camping Lights,22000mAh Battery,Android 14,24GB+256GB/TF 2TB Rugged Smartphone,108MP+16MP,6.58”FHD+120Hz IPS Screen,Dual Unlock/NFC/WiFi6(Titanium)

I picked up the DOOGEE V Max S mainly for hiking and off-grid trips, but it’s ended up becoming my everyday phone. This thing is built like a tank but doesn’t feel like one in the hand. The rugged body feels secure, and knowing it’s waterproof and drop-resistant means I can stop worrying about every little bump or splash. The dual camping lights are more than just a gimmick — they’re incredibly practical. I’ve used them for night hikes, in tents, even during a power outage at home. The brightness settings and SOS mode are a great touch. The battery is absolutely wild. I’ve gone four full days without needing to charge, even with regular use — GPS, streaming music, taking photos. And when I do need to top up, the 33W fast charging brings it back to life quicker than I expected for a battery this big. Plus, I’ve actually used it to charge a friend’s phone on the trail, which felt like a bit of a superhero moment. Performance-wise, it's surprisingly smooth. The Android 14 interface feels clean and fast, and the 24GB RAM (seriously!) means apps launch instantly, and I can juggle everything from navigation to social media without a hiccup. The 6.58” screen is sharp and bright, and the 120Hz refresh rate makes scrolling feel buttery. It’s a solid display for watching videos or reading on the go. What really stood out though is the camera setup. The 108MP rear camera takes shockingly crisp shots, and the 20MP night vision is more than just a novelty. I captured clear wildlife shots at night that I couldn’t believe came from a phone. All in all, the DOOGEE V Max S is a powerhouse made for people who live hard and play harder, but still want a phone that feels current and capable every single day.

This phone is certainly heavy duty, it feels very durable in hand and has loads of features. The screen is beautiful and definitely on par with top smartphones, and is bright, and colorful and you can tell it has a fast refresh rate. It doesn't bother my eyes that are pwm sensitive. The rear camera is really nice and takes clear photos and videos, and has night vision and several other options. The selfie camera is decent, the provided camera app isn't as good as others you can download from the app store when it comes to selfies. This has been my experience with most phones though. It does do a decent selfie, but if you zoom it looks blurry. The battery capacity of this phone is really nice, it does increase the weight substantially, and this phone comes in over 1lb in hand, which can be a lot and cumbersome. It makes using the camera and other things a little more difficult than something lighter, although it's not too terrible. It may not fit most phone tripods or be held well in the gripper, as they're usually made for lightweight phones. The features are great though, and overall I'm impressed by this brand and phone for its value in comparison to other phones I've tried. The flashlight feature is bright as well, and definitely could be a good camping or hiking, sports, work phone that you don't have to worry about damaging, although it won't go in your pocket, you'd need a bag or a decent belt with a clip to attach it. It's a great backup choice and definitely could be great for emergencies especially when out and about.

I’ve been using the DOOGEE V Max for a few weeks now, and I’m genuinely impressed. The 22,000mAh battery is an absolute game-changer — I easily get 4–5 days of heavy use without charging! Perfect for travel, camping, or anyone tired of carrying power banks. The phone feels rugged and solid, clearly built for tough conditions. It’s heavier than most phones, but that’s expected with such a massive battery and durable design. Performance-wise, it's smooth and responsive, great for everyday use, multitasking, and even some gaming. The screen is bright and clear, and I love having dual SIM support + expandable storage. The camera is decent — very good for casual photos and videos. If you're looking for a powerhouse phone with insane battery life and rugged build, this is it. Highly recommend!

This phone is an absolute tank. The 22,000mAh battery lasts me almost a week—seriously impressive. Great for camping with those dual LED lights on the back. It's big and heavy, but that's expected with all that power. Super smooth performance with the 120Hz screen and plenty of RAM. Cameras are solid, and the night vision one is a fun extra. Perfect for outdoorsy folks or anyone tired of charging every day. Definitely worth it if you need durability and insane battery life.

This phone worked for about 6 months with no problems and I really liked it! But after taking it into a steam room with me one time, some condensation showed up in one of the camera lenses. I decided to wait and the condensation went away. But about a month later my camera started to malfunction. Lens became stuck in selfie mode and I could not change it back. Tried to download other Android camera apps to work around it but all of them were blurry meaning there was a hardware issue. This is getting a one-star review mainly because I tried to reach the manufacturer x two emails to two different email Addys on their website. No response at all. Frankly, I was surprised. I think it's the first time I've never been able to contact a manufacturer... After a lot of stress I did not need right now (I have stage 4 cancer, I live alone and in the middle of making additional medical appointments) I was able to use the Assurant protection policy I purchased, but they typically don't cover your product before the one year mark d/t the one year manufacturers warranty that comes with the phone. A BIG thank you to Amazon customer service! They always cover my back every time! 🏆 Doogie, you can do much better and you need to stand behind your product! This phone was supposed to make my life easier and be more reliable. Instead, the only time I expose this indestructible phone to some steam, it TANKS. Very disappointed. You have lost my trust and my future business.

I am sick and tired of Apple, Google, and Samsung force feeding me phones that are so thin you can use them to slice cheese, but have batteries that don't even last 24 hours. No matter how many times I've said this, no one listens: I WANT A BIGGER BATTERY NOT A THINNER PHONE. I was on a Pixel 9 and got fed up with having to carry a power bank with me, so I got this. It's incredible. Battery lasts literally days, with regular use. And I love that it's not slick like a bar of soap - to me it's peak stupidity to buy a phone that's pared down to razor thin, then put a case around it. I can handle this phone comfortably with no case, and it stays put when I put it down somewhere. My Pixel 9 was like a slice of glass - completely slippery, and a total pain. Obviously this is intended for people who wear cargo pants, not Oscar de la Renta dresses. It's a brick, and it takes up room. But well worth it. I am currently using it with two AT&T SIMs (one personal and one work).

Very good, A little heavy in hand to hold for long periods of time but very functional

I absolutely love this phone but, it does NOT work on verizon wireless. So I moved the phone number to tmobile but they suck where I live so I returned it. The battery life on a single charge is die for. I sure wish it would have worked because I would have gladly kept it.
