Although Dogee may not be as widely known as Samsung, Motorola, Apple and LG, it still deliver smartphones that rise above the expectations. And most definitely rise above their price tag. The Doogee F5 for example is comparable to Motorla’s X Play, but it is considerably more affordable. In other to convince you about this, we are going to present both devices to you.
Doogee F5 – specs, camera and features
The Doogee F5, as we already stated, is a 5.5- inch phablet. It features a full HD IPS OGS screen and has an impressive 82% screen- to- body ratio, which is pretty uncommon. It sports GFF full lamination, so the display is thinner and brighter than that of other similar devices. The body of the Doogee F5 is made of light metal, both for resistance and a premium feel and look. The Doogee F5 is powered by a 64 bit, MTK6753 octa- core chipset, combined with Mali-T720 GPU. The Doogee F5 includes 3 GB of RAM and 16 GB internal storage. The storage can also be expanded due to the TF card slot that supports up to 64 GB.
The Doogee F5 runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop and supports Wi- Fi, GPS, 3G and 4G wireless connectivity, alongside Bluetooth 4.0. The dual SIM, dual standby Doogee F5 also impresses with its dual cameras. The back camera has a 13 MP Samsung sensor. This promises to deliver incredibly crisp images. Thanks to the ISOCELL sensor also sported by the Doogee F5, the photo exposure is more accurate and the color range gets wider. Alongside the dual LED flash, these features will work together for delivering sensational quality images.
Other features of the Doogee F5 include a microSD card slot, micro USB port and 3.5 mm audio jack. The Doogee F5 also sports a number of sensors. It has a 360° fingerprint sensor, proximity sensor, gravity sensor alongside the ambient light sensor.

You can have the Doogee F5 with free shipping, for only $139.99.
Motorola Moto X Play
Motorola’s Moto X Play also has a 5.5- inch, full HD display, just like the Doogee F5. The screen- to- body ratio of the Moto X Play is lower than the Doogee F5’s, so this could be an advantage of the Doogee F5. Although the Motorola Moto X Play has a metal frame, its body is in the most part made of plastic. This doesn’t offer the same premium feel as the Doogee F5’s mostly metal body. The Motorola Moto X Play is also thicker than the Doogee F5, so it seems that this is also a section in which the more affordable device is a nicer option. The Motorola Moto X Play is powered by an octa- core Qualcomm MSM8939 Snapdragon 615 chipset, which probably is more powerful than the one featured by the Doogee F5. The GPU is also a better known Adreno 405, which might make a difference in the favor of the Motorola Moto X Play. There are only 2 GB of RAM included in the Moto X Play, which is less compared to the 3 GB RAM of the Doogee F5. The basic internal storage is the same, 16 GB, but the Moto X Play also has a 32 GB version. Both smartphones have microSD card slots, so their storage can be further expanded.
The Moto X Play also runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop, but unlike the Doogee F5, there is a great chance that the Moto X Play will soon get the Android Marshmallow update. Just like the Doogee F5, the Moto X Play supports Wi- Fi, GPS and Bluetooth, so communication certainly won’t be a problem for this device either. The camera system of the Moto X Play is way better than the one featured by the Doogee F5. It has a 21 MP back camera and a 5 MP secondary camera which deliver high quality images. The camera of the Moto X Play also offers phase detection autofocus, dual-LED (dual tone) flash.
Among the features of the Moto X Play we mention the water resistant coating, the fast charging feature. But the key feature of this device is its battery. The Moto X Play is equipped with a Non-removable 3630 mAh battery which should ensure a more than decent battery life. Compared to the 2660 mAh battery of the Doogee F5, the Moto X Play battery really strikes as being a lot higher capacity.
The verdict
Although the Motorola X Play clearly has a better camera and a higher capacity battery, we can see that the majority of the specs featured by the two devices are similar, if not even leaning towards the Doogee F5. The Doogee F5 is not only slimmer, and has a more premium look due to its mainly metal body, it also has a higher screen- to- body ratio. These all make the Doogee F5’s design better. When it comes to memory, the Doogee F5 is also better with its 3 GB of RAM. It may not have such a powerful chipset as the Moto X Play does, but the Doogee F5 clearly makes up to that with its price. It is definitely more affordable, with its $139.99 price tag than the $599 Motorola. It’s up to you to decide if the extra features of the Motorola are really worth to pay more than three times the price of the Doogee F5 for them.
