The DOOGEE MIX is a tri-bezel-less smartphone that needs no introduction. The reason is simple. A glance at it and you know it is DOOGEE’s take on the Xiaomi Mi MIX. From the name to the design save for some new additions, the DOOGEE MIX can be summed up as a smaller sibling of the Mi MIX.

Doogee’s new smartphone has a lot going for it. It has a 5.5-inch display so its a lot smaller than the Mi MIX. There are also dual cameras on the rear and its $200 price tag is about a third of the price of the Mi MIX. It will also be the first phone to sport the new Helio P25 processor.

The use of the Helio P25 is a decision that was carefully thought of and a press release from Doogee explains the reason why they settled for the chip.

Dual Cameras

The Helio P25 was released as a successor to the Helio P20. It’s major upgrades are its higher clock speed and 12-bit Dual ISP specially designed for dual camera phones. The latter is the reason why the Doogee MIX has two 13MP rear cameras.

The rear cameras on the Doogee MIX work in the Monochrome + RGB format allowing more light in when taking pictures. It also has a bokeh effect preview that can be adjusted in real time. The Dual Image Signal Processor gives the Doogee MIX a faster shutter speed and better HDR images.

Power Consumption

The Helio P25 offers a 25% reduction in power consumption. This will translate to a longer screen-on-time for the Doogee MIX when paired with its Samsung AMOLED screen. The battery capacity is currently unknown but we presume it should be enough to last a whole day.

The Doogee MIX for release in May although there is no specific date yet.

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and Doogee’s new phone does exactly that. It is an imitation of the Xiaomi Mi MIX. The phone not only shares a similar design to the triple bezel-less Xiaomi Mi MIX but is actually called the Doogee MIX.

Doogee says the MIX will have a 5.5-inch Super AMOLED display supplied by Samsung. Due to the lack of bezels on three of its sides, it’s overall size will be smaller than that of the Mi MIX but almost the same as that of the iPhone 6. This small size makes the Doogee MIX more comfortable to use.

A real-life leaked image of the Doogee MIX shows us that the phone has a regular earpiece at the top of the display instead of the piezoelectric ceramic driver used in the Mi MIX. The lower bezel houses a physical home button that doubles as a fingerprint scanner and also has a front facing camera sitting at the bottom right corner. Other promotional images reveal a dual-camera setup on the back.

For the rest of the specs, the Doogee MIX is expected to launch with a Helio P25 SoC. There will be 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. A higher-end variant will be powered by the Helio X30 and will have 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.

There is no info on battery capacity yet neither is there a possible price or launch date too but it will probably be above the $200 mark. The Doogee MIX will be available in three colors: black, light blue, and a dark blue version that appears to have a reflective back.
