Doogee is back with two new rugged smartphones—the S118 Pro and S119. As expected from the brand, both devices pack massive batteries, durable exteriors, and hardware built for the outdoors.
While they share the same DNA, the two models take slightly different approaches when it comes to display, performance, and cameras. Here’s a closer look at what they bring to the table.
Doogee S118 Pro
The S118 Pro is powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 7050 chipset, paired with a whopping 24GB of RAM. That’s a surprising amount of memory for a rugged phone—even flagships don’t have that much—which is paired with 512GB of storage.
Up front, there’s a 6.6-inch Full HD+ display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. As expected, durability is a priority in a Doogee phone. It is rated IP68 and IP69K for dust and water resistance and meets the military-grade MIL-STD-810H standard.
On the back, you’ll find a 108MP main camera, a 20MP night vision sensor, and a 32MP front-facing shooter. Night vision cameras are a rare sight outside the rugged phone category, but they can be useful for low-light situations like camping or security monitoring.
For audio, the S118 Pro packs a dual-speaker setup. Keeping everything running is a massive 10,800mAh battery. Charging, however, is a bit on the slower side at 33W—reasonable but not exactly fast given the battery size. Still, a full charge will last significantly longer than your average smartphone.
Doogee S119
The S119 brings something unusual to the rugged phone category—a 1.32-inch rear secondary display. It can show notifications, call alerts, battery status, and even custom watch faces. A secondary display is rare in smartphones, especially rugged ones, but if you’ve ever wanted one, here’s your chance.
The device is built around a 6.72-inch IPS panel with a Full HD+ resolution. However, the company is still sticking with a waterdrop notch, which feels a bit dated in 2025.
Under the hood, it’s powered by MediaTek’s MT8788 processor—yes, that’s literally the name—paired with 8GB of RAM and 16GB of onboard storage, expandable up to 2TB.
The MT8788 is a 4G-only SoC with four Cortex-A73 and four Cortex-A53 cores, all clocked at 2GHz. It’s not exactly built for gaming or intensive tasks, so don’t expect flagship-level performance.
Software-wise, both the phone runs Android 14 out of the box. That’s a bit outdated for the 2025 phone while Doogee hasn’t shared any details about its update policy either.
Like the S118 Pro, the S119 packs a massive battery, though slightly smaller at 10,200mAh. And it supports the same 33W charging, which should keep things going for a while.
As for cameras, the S119 features a 100MP main sensor, a 20MP night vision camera, and a 5MP ultra-wide lens. Durability features include the same IP68, IP69K, and MIL-STD-810H certifications.
