What we like about DOOGEE S97 Pro (8GB + 128GB)

  • Exceptional battery life with a massive 8,500mAh capacity that can last 3-4 days on a single charge
  • Unique built-in professional laser rangefinder capable of measuring distance, area, and volume up to 40 meters
  • Extremely durable, rugged build with IP68/IP69K ratings for water and shock resistance
  • Solid mid-range performance with Helio G95 chipset and 8GB of RAM for smooth multitasking
  • Supports 33W fast charging and 10W wireless charging
  • Affordable value proposition compared to other professional rugged smartphones

What we don't like about DOOGEE S97 Pro (8GB + 128GB)

  • Large, heavy, and bulky design (approx. 0.5kg) making it uncomfortable for long-term one-handed use or pocket storage
  • Low screen resolution (HD+ 720p) which lacks the sharpness of Full HD displays
  • Weak and tinny single mono speaker with poor overall audio quality
  • Reports of glitchy software, unpredictable reboots, and lack of long-term Android updates
  • Mixed camera performance; while the main sensor is decent, secondary lenses produce lower quality images
  • No 3.5mm headphone jack and some reports of poor connectivity/GPS issues

Verdict

The Doogee S97 Pro is a highly durable 4G rugged smartphone featuring 8GB of RAM, 128GB of internal storage, and a specialized built-in laser rangefinder capable of measuring distances up to 40 meters. It is powered by the MediaTek Helio G95 octa-core processor and sports a 6.39-inch HD+ DotDisplay protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5, all housed within a reinforced body certified with IP68, IP69K, and MIL-STD-810G ratings for extreme resistance to water, dust, and drops. Main advantages include its massive 8,500mAh battery that supports 33W fast charging and 10W wireless charging, alongside a versatile quad-camera system led by a 48MP Samsung sensor. However, the device is notably heavy and bulky at 350 grams, lacks 5G connectivity, and its screen resolution is limited to 720 x 1560 pixels (HD+), which may feel underwhelming compared to standard high-definition displays.
