Doogee has a good reputation for making, but affordable if over-engineered ruggedised phones, and the S89 Pro doesn’t stray far away from those paths.

This already substantial design is made even larger by a hard plastic protective case that comes preinstalled.

More certain is that this is the first Doogee design to ship with a 65W charger, something that the 12,000 mAh battery will need to recharge quickly. According to Doogee, using this charger the phone can get 15% of its power back in 20 minutes, which would infer that a full charge would take around 2 hours and 15 minutes.

The downside of having so much battery is that this is a heavy phone that exceeds 750g, making it not something you would ideally put in a jacket pocket.

Available in Volcano Orange and Classic Black colour schemes, and back of the phone has two glowing “DOOGEE Eye” used to indicated a message when the phone is placed face down. And, you can set the colour of these eyes and how they animate.

Internally, this is yet another Mediatek platform, the P90 octa-core processor with the IMG PowerVR GM 9446 GPU. While this isn’t the most powerful SoC that Mediatek has made or IMG GPU, the platform is power efficient and workable for most tasks other than serious gaming.

A highlight is the camera cluster that combines a 64MP main sensor with F/1.8 optics with two 8MP Samsung-powered sensors for Wide angle and macro photography. And, if those weren’t wonderful enough, it also has a 20MP Sony IMX350 sensor set for night vision mode.

Captured images and video can be viewed on the 6.3" FHD+ DotDisplay, protected with   Corning Gorilla Glass that has a natural resolution of 1080 * 2340.

As you might already suspect, this phone is fully IP68 and IP69K rated, enabling it to cope with being immersed in water to a depth of 1.5m for up to 30 minutes, and dropped onto concrete from 1.5m without breaking.
