There are tens of rugged smartphones on the market already and there are a handful of gaming smartphones too. What we do not have is a rugged gaming smartphone and that is where the Doogee S70 comes in – a phone that merges both categories.
The Doogee S70 comes with a 5.99inch full HD+ display that is shatterproof and has support for glove touch. It is powered by an Helio P23 processor clocked at 2.5GHz and has a Mali-G71 MP2 GPU. There is 6GB of RAM on board along with 64GB of expandable storage.
The phone has a one-touch gaming mode that clears all other running apps and tasks and directs all power to whatever game you are playing. Doogee also says it has a metal cooling module on the back which improves cooling efficiency.
With the Doogee S70, one should be able to take great cameras too. There are dual cameras on the rear a 12MP Sony IMX363 f/1.8 1.4m sensor with dual PD autofocus and a secondary 5MP sensor for capturing depth of field details. The front-facing camera is a 16MP f/2.0 wide-angle sensor.

It also has support for 24W fast charging and wireless charging. The Doogee S70 is waterproof and dustproof and can even withstand pressurized waterjets. It is also MIL-STD-810G certified, has NFC and a fingerprint scanner, and will run Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box
Doogee will sell the phone with a gamepad that can be attached to the phone. The gamepad is similar to that sold with the Black Shark gaming phone has it only has controls on the left side.
