Doogee has a new smartphone on offer, namely the Doogee S41 Max, which is said to be impervious to damage if it comes into contact with sand or water. It has the typical triad of IP68, IP69K and MIL-STD-810H certification, which also includes protection against accidental drops. The low price point means that compromises have to be made in performance; the Unisoc Tiger T606 does not use a particularly fast computing chip. However, the RAM is decently sized at 6 GB and the internal storage is a rather comfortable 256 GB.
The internal storage can be expanded using a memory card, but only if the dual SIM function is not used. The smartphone only supports connection to LTE networks, but as numerous mobile networks are supported, it is fit for global use. The S41 Max is equipped with a 5.5-inch screen with a resolution of 720 x 1440.
The inbuilt battery has a capacity of 6300 mAh. The main camera has a resolution of 13 MP, the front camera 8 MP. At a weight of 262 grams, the Doogee S41 Max is relatively light, but 16.2 millimeters thick. NFC is supported and, as is typical for outdoor smartphones, the battery is configurable. Android 13 is used as the operating system.
The smartphone is listed for direct import at a price of $119.99, not including import taxes or customs fees. Other devices from the manufacturer are also available via Amazon.

I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.
Growing up in regional Australia, I first became acquainted with computers in my early teens after a broken leg from a football (soccer) match temporarily condemned me to a predominately indoor lifestyle. Soon afterwards I was building my own systems. Now I live in Germany, having moved here in 2014, where I study philosophy and anthropology. I am particularly fascinated by how computer technology has fundamentally and dramatically reshaped human culture, and how it continues to do so.
