Only one, no OTG, although the seller stated this option and it is in the engineering menu. But it looks like you need to change the firmware to “custom” to activate it (that’s what 4PDA says).

no (considering the price)
Everyone, when choosing a smartphone (and making any other purchase), wants to purchase the best, top-end model. But this is not always possible for the most prosaic reasons - the prices for such gadgets in the current situation are simply astronomical. So you have to make a compromise, choosing the most suitable option among devices in the mid-range, budget and ultra-budget segments. Just a representative of the latter came to us for review.
What is this?
DOOGEE X5 Max is a purebred Chinese smartphone. With a price in our stores of around 2000 hryvnia (approximately ten percent of the average cost of a flagship phone), it is equipped seriously enough to compete on an equal footing with mid-level models from AAA manufacturers (or even emerge victorious from such a comparison). There is a 4000 mAh battery, a fingerprint scanner, Android 6.0, support for two SIM cards, a gigabyte of RAM and many other goodies.
What is in the box?
While most manufacturers reduce size and simplify packaging under the banner of caring for the environment, DOOGEE simply saves on it. Agree, it’s better to get a less pretentious box than a smartphone with Bluetooth 3.0 instead of 4.0. The smartphone's equipment is minimal, although not exactly budget-friendly. At least DOOGEE did not skimp on the charger - judging by the labeling, it is designed for a current of one ampere. This is especially true when you consider the large capacity of the battery used in the gadget.
What does DOOGEE X5 Max look like?
What else they saved on when creating the DOOGEE X5 Max smartphone was the design and materials. The appearance of the device, frankly speaking, is not outstanding - an unpretentious variation on the theme of the now popular “black rectangle with a silver border” solution. The designers tried to reduce the noticeable fullness of the case by making this border narrower, but the weight of under 200 grams is not able to hide such tricks. The edging, of course, is not metal, but made of painted plastic. There are no retractable hatches on the side ends. Slots for SIM cards and memory cards are hidden behind a removable back cover.
The front panel is completely covered with glass and factory adhesive film. The latter has moderate oleophobicity and a noticeable “mirror” effect when viewed from the side. You can consider it an additional measure to protect your private data from individuals who like to look at the screens of other people's smartphones.
The DOOGEE X5 Max uses matte plastic for the back panel. It should look good in your hand. But if your palms are dry, the phone becomes slippery, like a wet bar of soap. Even with a cursory examination of the device’s appearance, it is impossible not to notice that in addition to the usual camera and flash, on the rear panel there is also one of the smartphone’s attractions - a fingerprint scanner (still a rare option for devices in this price segment).
Having squeezed the DOOGEE X5 Max smartphone in your hands, you begin to suspect that the edging is still metal - it is very resistant to external influences. The answer lies within. Looking into the battery compartment, you notice the aluminum frame hidden inside. It is this that provides the body with solidity and additional stability.
How is his screen?
The five-inch screen uses an IPS panel with a resolution of 1280x720 pixels. There is an air gap between the matrix and the protective glass, which slightly impairs the readability of the screen in the sun. The backlight level has a more noticeable effect on readability. In this smartphone, at maximum power it is not very high, so under bright light, the colors on it fade noticeably. But the minimum brightness level is very comfortable when using the device at night. But the screen still has one noticeable drawback. Not even at the screen itself, but at the touchpad - it only detects two touches. In most programs this is not so critical, but in games there may simply not be enough “controls”.
Does DOOGEE X5 Max have enough performance?
The MediaTek MT6580 quad-core processor used in the DOOGEE X5 Max phone does not boast of extreme power. This is clearly visible in the tests. But in everyday use, slowdowns are noticeable only in toys (although playing Asphalt 8 with light slow mo is a pleasure - you navigate all turns perfectly). A gigabyte of RAM is more than enough for everyday activities. On average, the system, social networking clients and Skype eat up about 79% of RAM. So there remains a constant supply of 200 megabytes of RAM.
What is the operating system version of DOOGEE X5 Max?
This model is new enough that we immediately get Android M. The basic interface is slightly modified - the list of programs is not displayed on several screens, but with a scrolling ribbon. Otherwise, we have ordinary Android.
Although if you delve deeper into the settings, it becomes clear that quite a lot of nice features have been added to the operating system itself. So the options included a QR code scanner (which is usually installed as a separate program), a tool for setting up a fingerprint scanner, a turbo download mode, smart gestures and smart unlocking.
What do these options give us? A QR code scanner is not required in a special presentation. Therefore, let's move on to setting up the biometric scanner. To use it, you must first set up unlocking using a PIN code or graphic password. The process of registering a fingerprint is relatively long - you need to swipe your finger over the scanner many times so that the program can obtain the most complete information. In the future, this allows her to “recognize” your papillary pattern at any inclination and direction of finger movement. In addition to unlocking a smartphone, a fingerprint can also serve as a key to access programs or websites. In this case, you also need to set an additional PIN code for “emergency” access without fingerprints. The scanner can also be used to control some programs (simple one-button actions, such as switching tracks, or like a camera shutter button).
Turbo downloading is an interesting function, but in our realities it is not yet relevant. Its essence is that when downloading files from the Internet, both the mobile Internet and Wi-Fi are used simultaneously, summing up the bandwidth of both channels. But this only makes sense on 4G networks. The increase in speed from connecting to a 3G channel is not worth the money spent on mobile traffic.
Smart gestures are close in practicality to using a fingerprint scanner to control programs. With this option, the same swipes and scrolls are available, only not by touching the scanner, but by waving your palm in front of the front camera and proximity sensor.
But smart unlocking is a really interesting feature. Usually, to call a program or perform an action, you need to “wake up” the screen and only then launch the desired program. And with “smart unlocking” the application is launched directly from the inactive screen. It is enough to draw the desired symbol on the switched off display and we immediately find ourselves in the program we need. Unfortunately, there is no way to independently set a pair from the application and the activation sign - their set is preset and cannot be changed or expanded. The list includes basic system programs: camera, web browser, file manager, music player and phone. In addition, “smart unlocking” allows you to control music playback, as well as “wake up” the phone by double tapping the screen.
Are there many pre-installed programs?
I'm glad that DOOGEE did not overload the smartphone with unnecessary software. The basic package contains only Google services and a couple of its programs. Moreover, their selection was so severe that there was no place even for a weather widget. Of course, this is not a problem on a smartphone, because you can always install the program of your favorite weather service.
What programs, according to DOOGEE, turned out to be so useful that they were able to get into the firmware? In addition to a keyboard with support for Burmese and other Asian languages, we get the Documents To Go office suite, the Parallel Space program for separating work and home accounts, and the proprietary DG Xender file sharing utility.
Actually, the last two programs are of greatest interest. Parallel Space allows you to keep multiple accounts in the same program on your smartphone. Just launch this application and add what you need: work email, social networks with a group administrator account, or even install some Tinder or Lovetime in a special “hidden” mode (the program will not appear in the list of applications outside of Parallel Space). Access to additional accounts can be password protected to protect data in case of loss of a smartphone or annoying interest from your significant other. For ease of use and management, there is a built-in task manager and a utility for tracking the volume occupied by additional accounts. In general, the program is interesting and useful not only for separating work and personal life.
DG Xender is a complete software combine. Typically, manufacturers divide the functions implemented in it between several applications, but DOOGEE decided not to multiply the icons. This program combines direct export/import of smartphone settings and a file transfer service between this phone and other smartphones and computers under one roof. Interestingly, it supports both work through an existing Wi-Fi network and a hotspot. You can only transfer photo and video files to your computer. But when performing operations with another Android smartphone, you can transfer programs and documents and entire folders - the main thing is to also install DG Xender on it (it is available on Google Play).
How does the DOOGEE X5 Max shoot?
Surprisingly, the DOOGEE X5 Max phone claims to be a faithful friend who does not like to take pictures. In this model, the main and front cameras are equipped with 5 MP sensors with support for interpolation up to 8 MP. Of course it would be better to have the full 8 megapixels without software processing, but budget dictates its limitations.
The camera has quite a lot of settings - color effects, manual exposure adjustment, and selection of ISO, contrast, brightness and other basic parameters. You can also activate burst shooting, time-lapse video, self-timer, voice memo recording, smile snapshot, and face detection in the frame. But all this is hidden in the depths of the settings. In quick access you can only select a mode (normal, beauty and panoramic shooting), activate the HDR mode, take a photo by gesture, control the flash and switch between the front and main cameras. If they made a convenient interface for all the camera’s capabilities, then it would not have a price. And so - there is good potential that needs to be presented correctly.
The quality of photos and videos is simply excellent for a device in this price category. The camera performs well in both bright sunlight and artificial lighting. Where it has a difficult time is at dusk - here the automation can give noticeable failures.
How is he at work?
In terms of telephone performance, DOOGEE X5 Max is doing well. The speaker is loud and clear, the microphone does not distort the voice and intonation. The ringing can be heard even in the subway (this is if you set a normal melody instead of the default one). The vibration alert is noticeable, although it is partially neutralized by the internal metal frame.
Interestingly, the dialer interface tries to adapt to the phone owner. You can fill in your favorite contacts yourself, or you can leave them to chance - gradually they will be filled with those subscribers with whom you communicate most often. The call list not only shows the time of the last connection with the subscriber, but also informs with icons about the number and direction of calls. A pleasant concern for those who prefer to use their smartphone for calls rather than launching mobile applications.
In terms of operating time, the results are very good. With normal use of the smartphone (20 minutes of calls, about an hour of social networks, ten minutes of navigation, half an hour of games, constantly active mobile Internet and Wi-Fi), its battery lasts for two days. He will be asked to charge late in the evening of the second day.
What features does DOOGEE X5 Max have?
The DOOGEE X5 Max smartphone is not without some nuances. There are surprisingly few of them, but they exist. So the camera application always starts in beauty mode. For selfies, this is a definite plus. But if you want to photograph not a person’s face, but some kind of document, building or landscape, then a filter that blurs out skin imperfections will only get in the way.
The second feature is related to the smart unlock function. In the same LG G2, a similar functionality works only if the proximity sensor is not covered by anything (that is, at least it is not in your pocket). And with DOOGEE X5 Max you can easily surf the Internet, take a couple of dozen photos, or even call your ex - all without taking it out of your pocket. So to speak, in hands-free mode. You can combat this problem with the help of a bookcase or by placing your smartphone in your pocket with the screen facing away from you.
Bottom line
To be honest, when I started reviewing this phone, I was extremely skeptical. But considering the price DOOGEE X5 Max in Ukraine and the implemented functionality - this is a surprisingly interesting and profitable purchase. Moreover, what is captivating is not only and not so much the technical characteristics, but the fact that the manufacturer did not cut down the smartphone at the software level (something that more eminent manufacturers do not disdain). So if you need to get the most features for your 2000 hryvnia, you should pay attention to the DOOGEE X5 Max phone.

Smartphones from the Dugi brand are like a breath of fresh air in the market, where many companies every month introduce new, but still approximately identical phones. The original Doogee X5 differs from its counterparts in its appearance - it looks somehow more powerful, heavier, although its weight - pay attention! - only 130 grams. Overall dimensions 72.2x143x8.8 mm.
Given its size and elegant, rounded corners, the Dugi X5 phone offers the user an impressive range of features and functions. So, you can use your smartphone alternately with two SIM cards at once, which is very convenient if you often go on business trips or travel - a local SIM card will solve all the problems with expensive communications in roaming in one fell swoop.
The smartphone runs on the latest Android 5.1 generation. You can feel whatever way you like about this operating system, but one cannot help but recognize its excellent performance and high operating speed. The phone has convenient touch buttons and a 5-inch capacitive multi-touch display. User photos, color images, videos and other visual content look great on this screen, because its resolution is 1280 by 720 pixels. With such a diagonal, this is the optimal combination.
If you want to buy a Doogee X5 in Moscow, you will also be glad that this smartphone has a good camera - 5 megapixels, LED flash. The device supports 3G and various wireless networks such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth. As for wired interfaces, the phone has a USB port and other necessary slots.
Dugi runs on a quad-core processor with a frequency of 1500 MHz, RAM capacity is 1 gigabyte. The built-in memory of the device is 8 gigabytes. It is clear that this space may not be enough, but the brand is in a hurry to reassure the user - the arches are equipped with a slot for a memory card, so you can easily expand the storage up to 32 gigabytes.
At the same time, the price of the Doogee X5 becomes a pleasant surprise (and even amazement) for those who are used to the fact that a good smartphone costs tens of thousands.
Video recording is supported in FullHD resolution. The video quality matches the price of the smartphone. The frame rate is only 22 per second, which does not have the best effect on the smoothness of the video. You can focus when shooting video only by tapping on the screen. The sound is recorded in stereo mode.
The front camera has a 5-megapixel HI 553 module and also interpolates pictures up to 8 megapixels. The quality is acceptable.
AUTONOMY
I think everyone is already accustomed to the fact that Doogee likes to exaggerate the battery capacity of its smartphones. Doogee X5 Max was no exception. 4000 mAh is declared, in fact we get less, but not by much - the tester showed 3640 mAh. The capacity is impressive and the battery can really be called long-lasting.
When playing videos via WiFi from YouTube, the battery discharges at a rate of 9-10% per hour. In real operating conditions, the X5 MAX easily lives without a power outlet for 1.5-2 days, and under light loads it will last even longer. The included charger is fair - it produces 1A, but for such a solid battery, of course, it is not enough. The smart takes a long time to charge – a little over 4 hours. However, there is still no point in using more powerful chargers, because... The phone does not accept current greater than 1A.
VERDICT
The Doogee X5 MAX now costs about 7-8 dollars more than the regular X5. With such a small difference in price, we get the latest Android 6, a fingerprint scanner, cameras that are adequate for the price, and good battery life. Disadvantages include the presence of a malicious file in the system, no flash and no 4G. But all these disadvantages are more than offset by numerous advantages and, of course, the low price of the smartphone. It turned out to be a decent ultra-budget product, a pure workhorse with a long-lasting battery.
