Doogee V Max is a rugged phone, big screen, powerful SoC, lots of RAM and storage, an impressive camera selection, 5G, and a big battery.

It is covering a design that uses the new MediaTek Dimensity 1080 SoC. An option increases the clock speeds and RAM capacity seen on the Dimensity 900 series and includes 5G comms.

But by far, the one headline feature of this phone is its 22000 mAh battery, a capacity that dwarfs that in other phones, including many rugged designs.

The obvious advantage of a battery this large is that it can operate for a week or more without a recharge. With management, this could be extended to a considerable time without mains power. That could be critical for a camping break or adventure holiday where the nearest power socket might be a long walk away.

Additionally, it also comes with a reverse charge feature which allows using the Doogee V Max as a power bank to charge other devices.

The front of the V Max is covered by a 6.58-inch 120Hz FHD+ display. The IPS display features include a 19:9 aspect ratio, 401 PPI, and a peak brightness of 400 nits.

It is protected from scratches by a layer of corning gorilla glass.

Even though the V Max is a rugged phone, it doesn’t skimp on its camera sets. Moreover, its primary camera is a 108MP Samsung HM2 camera sensor.

However, the second camera is a special one. This sensor from Sony is a night vision camera capable of taking pictures and videos in total darkness.

Thus, two infrared lights on the side make it possible. The final camera on the back is a 16MP ultra-wide camera with a 130° field of view. On the front, there is a 32MP selfie clicker from Sony.

As expected, it comes with the IP68 and IP69K ratings, MIL-STD-810H certification, a fast, responsive capacitance fingerprint sensor on the side, and four navigational satellite GPS systems (GLONASS, Galileo, Beidou, and GPS).
