Verdict

The DOOGEE X98 is an entry-level 4G smartphone running Android 12, primarily aimed at basic daily use. Key hardware includes a 6.52-inch HD+ IPS display with a 720x1600 resolution and a MediaTek Helio A22 quad-core processor. It features a base memory configuration of 3GB physical RAM (marketed as 8GB with 5GB virtual expansion) and 16GB of internal storage, which is expandable up to 1TB via a microSD card. Photography is handled by an 8MP main rear camera (with a 2MP depth sensor) and a 5MP front camera. A 4200mAh battery provides power, and the phone supports dual SIM functionality and face ID for unlocking. Pros are its very low price point, large screen, modern Android 12 OS, and flexible storage expansion options. Cons include performance limitations, as the processor and low physical RAM can struggle with demanding apps and heavy multitasking, and the camera quality is considered basic.
