What we like about DOOGEE Note 56 4G (24GB + 64GB)

  • Performs well for daily tasks and basic gaming, offering a smooth experience for the price point.
  • Massive 6150mAh battery provides exceptional, long-lasting power, which is ideal for travel or heavy use.
  • Features a modern 90Hz refresh rate display, which reviewers note provides a smooth and clear viewing experience.
  • Supports expandable storage up to 2TB via TF card, offering plenty of space for media and apps.
  • Has a slim and lightweight design at just 8.45mm thick, making it easy to handle and carry.
  • Comes as a complete package including a TPU case, charger, and cable, offering good value for money.
  • Includes a 3.5mm headphone jack, a feature appreciated by users.
  • Offers additional features like OTG reverse charging, Face Unlock, and Dual SIM 4G support.

What we don't like about DOOGEE Note 56 4G (24GB + 64GB)

  • Issues with call quality have been reported, with some users mentioning that others couldn't hear them.
  • May have connectivity problems, with one user noting they only received 2G service on a T-Mobile network despite 4G capabilities.
  • Concerns about potential software bugs, freezing, and a lack of regular security patches or OS updates.
  • Some users reported general performance issues like the phone being slow or specific features (e.g., flashlight, GPS) not working correctly.
  • The camera setup is basic, with only an 8MP main and 5MP front camera, which may not meet higher expectations for detailed photography.

Verdict

The DOOGEE Note 56 4G smartphone is an entry-level device running the latest Android 16 OS and is powered by a 1.6 GHz UNISOC SC9863A Octa-Core processor. It features a large 6.56-inch HD+ IPS display with a smooth 90Hz refresh rate (720x1612 resolution), an 8MP main rear camera, and a 5MP front camera. A major pro is its massive 6150mAh battery, providing exceptional endurance, and its flexible memory configuration of 24GB RAM (3GB physical + 21GB virtual) and 64GB internal storage, which is expandable up to 2TB via a TF card. However, cons include its basic camera setup with modest megapixel counts, relatively slow 10W charging support, and a non-rugged design (despite the brand's rugged phone image) that is also not water resistant.
