Wireless charging capability,
beefy battery and bundled utilities make this handset an impressive all-rounder

smartphone vendors are jumping on the rugged device bandwagon, which isn't
surprising as competition in this arena is still sparse.
Doogee
has just released a flagship model called the S60 -not to be confused with the
Cat S60, or the Lenovo S60 -which couldn't have been more stereotypically
designed. The specs and pictures that accompanied its launch point to the
return of the classic `man's phone'.
Like
many of its competitors, the designers opted for the classic octagonal chassis
usually associated with ruggedised smartphones. The S60 is one of the heaviest
smartphones at 285g, which is almost twice the weight of the Apple iPhone 8.
Finding the right balance between portability and ruggedness is an ongoing
process, and Doogee seems to focus more on the latter using a combination of
metal (aerospace-grade aluminium) and high density polycarbonate plastic to
increase this device's resistance to shocks. The screen, a 5.2-inch Full HD IPS
display, is covered by a Corning Gorilla Glass 5 overlay which should protect
it from scratches.

The flagship smartphone got best-of-breed hardware innards. It packs the
Mediatek Helio P25 backed with 6 GB of premium LPDDR4 memory and 64 GB of
Samsungsourced f lash memory for storage.
The
camera sensors are Samsung and Sonysourced as well; the rear 21-megapixel rear
21-megapixel model can only record in full HD despite the Mediatek P25 CPU
supporting 4K.
The
S60 is unique amongst rugged smartphones as it bund les both NFC and wireless
charging, potentially allowing you to bypass the on-board physical ports
completely. Note that it doesn't come with a wireless charger, though. The S60
is a largerthan-life phone, so it's a bit of a handful to handle compared to
.the typical much lighter smartphones out there
