DOOGEE Y300 Review: The beauty specs – a terrible force!

Review is dedicated to stylish smartphone DOOGEE Y300 with metal casing, the drive to 64GB, and Android 6.0. In addition, the stated thickness of the device just 6.7 mm. We turn right to the technical specifications, once a manufacturer has created such an intrigue.

PACKAGING DOOGEE Y300

The cardboard box has a charger, cable, headset, transparent plastic pouch, spare film on the screen and the hero of the festivities. Yes, even the instruction in Europe.

APPEARANCE DOOGEE Y300

The unit is gorgeous. Metal housing, milling, fine lines, rich colors of the display … what happened? Some of the leaders smartfonostroeniya made the order, and then refused to take? One way or another, but the review was a light, slim and very stylish device.

EASE OF USE DOOGEE Y300

I constantly kept Y300 both hands, afraid to drop. He is very thin and smooth, but then I remembered the plastic cover and it was a little easier. I believe that it is comfortable to hold in a graceful female hand. And the owner is to be left-handed, otherwise the power button closes corny palm.

The display is bright rich colors, with a diagonal grid of pixels almost not visible. The touchpad works exactly. Pasted film does not prevent finger slip on the glass. Gestures are played on the first try.

The manufacturer has not forgotten about the event display. It is located to the left of the earpiece and intrusive enough when necessary.

To demonstrate the size I made a couple of shots in the bag, with a smartphone LG G2, with poverbankom Xiaomi 5000, with a ruler, and other items.

PERFORMANCE AND HEATING DOOGEE Y300

The body is heated evenly and quite a bit. SoC MT6735 fully understood and has no dark spots. In this device, the performance of the processor and graphics card fits in the statistics.

SOUNDING DOOGEE Y300

The headphones sound different songs I liked. A little peculiar, but the female vocals reproduced in great detail. In some compositions, the scene felt. Heavy compositions served with good pressure, but only on the average volume. And high impedance headphones are not welcome here. And now about the features. As used in this review Xiaomi Piston 3 headset and headphones Sennheiser HD 380 PRO not work correctly with this smartphone. Here is a list of problems:

• The connector can not be before the end of the embed – sound disappears headphones
• Headsets microphone does not work
• On the headset does not work volume keys
• In the “Radio” can not bring sound to the speaker

Problems disappear when using native headset. I was sure that it was because of the slot with support OMTP standard. But no, dear headset complies CTIA standard. It’s all in non-standard length of the plug. How to fix it – I do not know. The photo demonstration jacks (left to right): native headset, Xiaomi piston 3, Sennheiser HD 380 PRO.

The sound of the speaker I liked. Though he does not reproduce the entire frequency range, but listening to pleasant. Volume is quite enough for a small room sound. “Out of the box” in the audio settings included the effect of increasing the speaker volume and sound without becoming noticeably quieter.

WI-FI, BLUETOOTH AND GPS DOOGEE Y300

Wi-Fi module is only supported by a range of 2.4 GHz. Reception quality is decent. Connection speed of 64 Mbit \ s transfer rate of 35 Mbit \ s.

In bluetooth files are transferred without problems, and the sound of the headset is not cut off.
Good to see and GPS module. Quickly determine the coordinates and confidently held the position at the level of three meters.

EXPANSION CARD DOOGEE Y300

Interesting move taken by installing a memory card of 32 GB in the appendage to the built-in 32 GB drive. He calls it «64GB capacity». If you install the card again, the system will ask which of the drives use the default. And yes, the memory card using the site of one of the SIM cards.

THE BATTERY AND AUTONOMY DOOGEE Y300

The company promises a non-removable battery is 2200 mAh, which is about 8140 Wh. For the tests used a powerful charger and tester to calculate the amount of energy transferred. Charge Schedule Oddly enough, the unit charge for two hours. Judging by the testimony of the tester, smartphone consumed 9784 Wh. If we assume that the loss amounted to about 10%, we get a figure close to the battery parameter – 8800 Wh.

Autonomy – a critical parameter for any smartphone. charge consumption in standby mode, it turned out to be minimal. Within 20 hours, he has run from 16% to 7%. It turns out that per day idle discharge can be about 12-15%. The result is impressive. And if you pay attention, that in the settings you can specify the schedule off your smartphone, you can be 10% more and save. According to my calculations, if during the day to listen to music, make some calls, the charge can last for 48 hours. If you constantly talk on the phone, but to sit on the Internet, then you can only rely on time autonomy. Upon reaching 15% of the discharge events indicator flashes red.

USING DUAL SIM CARDS DOOGEE Y300

The carriage can install the SIM card operator + nano is a micro the SIM format. With this arrangement, the action turns out quite laborious. This is not supplied clip.

In the settings you can specify the operator card data, make calls and send SMS. You can smeit color and name SIMs. Then the sixth version of OS has brought nothing new.

During a call with the microphone voice conveys all the noises and rustling, noise reduction is not seen. The earpiece volume average. Caller’s voice sounds a little distorted and muffled. Microphone headset native operating satisfactorily, taking a call button is activated.

RADIO DOOGEE Y300

Radio unexpectedly delicate. a list of local stations was set up in five seconds. Accepted names of the stations and the sound is noticeable stereo effect. With the withdrawal of a speaker can be difficulties, but I have already described.

CAMERAS DOOGEE Y300

The main camera takes pictures resolution 2592h4608 points that correspond to 12 megapixels at a ratio of 16: 9. The manufacturer claims that the hardware-resolution camera is 8 MP. The resulting images have traces of intensive treatment with extremely high values of clarity and contrast. With this result, autofocusing is difficult to assess. The flash helps when shooting except that lecture notes, so the letter gets a little clearer. I tried to find out that so greatly affects the image quality, because everything in Superior One camera settings have been disabled. I suppose that the outcome may affect the program Beauty Makeup, but a good idea comes late.

The front camera takes pictures at a resolution of 2160h3840 is about 8.3 MB. But using a 5 megapixel matrix. This one camera is no different from most of its neighbors. Sharpen images small, colors shots causes depression, but even in low light can still be something to see.

THE OPERATING SYSTEM DOOGEE Y300

It was interesting to see Marshmallow in this device. I can not say what contribution was made by the OS in autonomy, but with all the performance is excellent. The interface is pleasant and easy to use. There is a OTA update function, but during testing of new versions to come. Additional program a little, but they are. Also set by Google (Play, Maps, Calendar, Gmail), there are DG Xender (file transfer), popular Barcode scanner, Documents To Go and interesting Beauty Makeup (addition to the camera with a set of uluchshayzerov appearance).

SUMMARIZING DOOGEE Y300

A very controversial smartphone. I was sure that the manufacturer of the high rate of autonomy failed miserably. And nuances with headphones and quality of the main chamber pushed to greater scrutiny of other parameters. In general, if the picture is not your strong point, you are using the headphones are not so often, and you are left handed – the smartphone a success!

PROS DOOGEE Y300:

• good build, materials
• nice look
• the quality of the display and touchpad
• autonomy for this battery
• Android 6.0 + OTA update
• capacious and fast memory card included

CONS DOOGEE Y300:
