The OP says the primary use is Pokemon Go, a phone missing the accelerometer and compass required by Pokemon Go seems a glaringly weird choice, doesn't it?

You are quite a strange person who is almost evangelical in pushing the super cheap (sometimes crap) Chinese unknown phones who gets rather excited and shouts troll at anyone who dares to disagree.


If I just wanted to say it's a crap phone I would have mentioned the fact that phones like these have no usable warranty, no UK support network for spares and repairs and also just linked to all the one star reviews on Amazon...

Here's a few:



Probably just easier to screenshot page 1

I for one, had owned variety of phones and currently still have 4 of them. All are made in China, some with better names, some with lesser and can tell anyone, that paying double for the same spec phone is not sensible anymore.

All i can see, you copying and pasting "opinions" of what you've read on, with a bitterness towards value for money counceus people.

Once again, if you keep on dreaming in affording flagship models and will pay up that sort of money-grubbing possible to understand as why you'd pay for waranties etc.

Your endlessly promoted Motorola phones are very probed to be breaking down and customers facing atrocious time and service from repair center, although even those are overpriced.

Based on time you spend on this board(trolling), I doubt dole pays you enough to afford even that one.

I did held up from responding to your flaming post direct message to you having fallen of a toll horse and named as a troll, but that is exactly what you are doing, hence do not address me in the future and be a man, do respond to the posters with question, as what you would know for sure- from practice.



This is feedback and image without your intentional distortions​, in making a screenshot from most critical reviews, that represents feedback in relevance and time posted.

£60 worth a phone, keep that in mind and see how many poster have responded in thread being satisfied with lesser known (still made in China) phones, as actual users.

@Atasas, I don't know what your issue is with @d123 (and don't care so don't bother justifying it) but sticking a screenshot on which shows 33 5* reviews and 15 1* star reviews is not supporting your claim that the Doogee is particularly good. And it certainly doesn't confirm either way whether it would be suitable for Pokemon Go.

I have owned hundreds and sold tens of thousands of phones. Do you have an actual experience in the mobile industry other than owning a variety of cheap tat?

My experience in the industry has been posted on this forum in the past, which includes working directly for networks and

in retail.

I have imported a number of the cheap makes, not one had a satisfactory QC rate, we were seeing OOB failures of around 1 in 5 handsets from the likes of Dooggee, UMI, Prestigio...

Not everyone is on the dole like you, my friend. I have plenty of time on my hands now as I sold my mobile phone shops and a phone repair centre for enough to mean I don't have to work full time anymore.

I currently use a Samsung S7 and an iPhone 6s Plus just FYI, but I wouldn't recommend my choices here, as they would be unsuitable for what the OP has said they require.

I'm sorry you appear to be in a financial position that means your only choice is the extreme bottom end of the market.

Calling out bad choices is not trolling, it's just called good sense.

I was clear that I posted page 1 of the reviews, that number of bad reviews (and reports of faulty units and poor service) is unacceptable.

Even by your standard 33 good and 15 bad is still more than 30% unacceptable rating. A decent brand would be 5-10% maximum unacceptable rating.

Let's have a look at a phone you apparently don't like, the Moto G4, currently on Amazon it has 997 5 star and 105 1 star, near enough the more normal 10% rate...

Sometimes, it might be reasonable to suggest a super bottom of the budget handset, other times doing so when it obviously doesn't meet what the person is asking for is just poor advice, possibly even the favourite word you love, trolling...
