what's happening everyone my name is Alex and welcome back in today's video we are checking
out the latest rock device from doogee called the s97 pro like most rock devices that we've
been seeing from doogee over the past few years this one is shock proof and waterproof so this
one will survive certain drops but if you do drop it the wrong way there is a good chance that the
screen will still break but if you do have the phone in water nothing will happen to it so you
could take showers with it if that's what um you want the phone is powered by the mediatek helio
g95 that's paired with eight gigs of ram and 128 gigs of internal storage and for those of
you that like benchmark scores this device gets an antutu benchmark score of just over 250 000
and with a score like that you kind of know that the device will perform well for pretty much any
application that you're going to be using with it the phone can also take an sd card so on the left
hand side here we have the slot for the sim card so this phone can take two sim cards at the same
time or a sim card and an sd card at the same time looks wise well the phone looks like most rock
devices that we've been seeing over the past three four years so we do have a lot of plastic we have
some type of rubberized plastic and on the corners here on the sides we have some metallic plates
on the left hand side here we have a customizable button and another button that i'm not sure what
you can do with it because i haven't found any options in the phone for the second
button on the side and on the other side of the phone we have the volume buttons
the power button and a fingerprint scanner the fingerprint scanner does seem to work pretty good
it takes about half a second from the time you touch it until the screen gets unlocked the
phone also supports face unlocking if you don't want to use that fingerprint scanner at the top
here we have a laser range finder so there is an app on the phone and you can point the phone but
the building or something and it will tell you the exact distance from the phone to that particular
object so this could come in handy if you are into construction and you're using the phone
forum work basically at the bottom we have a usbc charging port that's covered by a rubber flap
and we also have the holes for the speaker so that is the only speaker
available and even though the speaker gets quite loud it's some still one speaker overall so no
other um holes for any other speaker and another top here on the front we don't have a second
speaker i guess this is a quick example so you can hear how that speaker at the bottom sounds like
on the back of the phone we have a variety of cameras as well we have the main camera we have an
ultra wide camera we have a macro camera and another camera that's used for portrait mode
pictures and of course on the front of the device and we have the selfie camera now like most budget
friendly phones if you do have plenty of light the pictures will turn out quite decent of course
they're not going to be as good as the pictures that you're going to get from a samsung galaxy s
21 or an iphone 12 but for a budget friendly phone i feel that the daytime pictures do look quite
decent now as as soon as it gets dark the picture quality decreases quite a lot even though we do
have a night mode available in there but the picture quality is not anywhere as good as you'd
get from a flagship but for daytime pictures isn't good enough i'm gonna say moving on to the front
of the device here we have a 6.4 inches ips panel that has a 720p resolution now in 2021 getting an
ips panel with a 720p resolution i kind of find it unacceptable you can find a lot of budget phones
that have amoled screens with a higher resolution so for doogee's flagship for this year because
the s97 pro is kind of like their flagship they should have definitely included a better screen
on this phone at least the screen gets brighter than most other rug devices that i've seen in
the past so at least that's a good thing because you can still see it outside in direct sunlight
but yes i wish the resolution would have been higher and a better quality screen basically would
have been nice to have moving on to some better things about it well inside it we have a 8 500
milliamp hour battery that will keep the phone going for a couple of days and about 10 to 12
hours of screen on time so pretty decent battery life on this device it also supports 33 watt
fast charging so it only takes a couple of hours to charge this from zero to 100 then there is a
fast charger that comes in the box and on top of that it also supports wireless charging 10 wattage
wireless charging so it will take a while if you charge it wirelessly performance wise just
as i was expecting the s97 pro does well for pretty much anything that you are gonna do and
you kind of know that when you get an antutu score of over 150 000 the phone will perform
well so it doesn't matter if you're scrolling through your facebook feed or writing a text
message or even playing games the phone will do good for anything of course it's not gonna be as
fast as the samsung galaxy s21 but this is not a slow phone by any means there is also an nfc
chip inside it and that means that you're going to be able to make payments to the phone using
google pay i've also tried the gps unit in it and it takes about three to five seconds to find your
locations so using any navigation app shouldn't be an issue of course we have a variety of bands so
this one can be used in most places in this world and we do have a lot of sensors that are available
to quickly conclude this video the doogee s97 pro is pretty much an average phone that's just
like all the other rugged phones that we've been seeing over the past three years i'm gonna say
so nothing that's special about this one sure we have that laser rangefinder that's something
that i haven't seen on any other phone but is that enough to make you buy this phone
it is entirely up to you so overall this is a pretty average phone it is a decent phone but
pretty average and nothing spectacular about it i wish to have had them dual speakers maybe a
3.5 mil audio jack and so much more and a 1080p screen would have been nice and as well alright
guys hopefully this video was useful thanks for watching and i'll see you in the next one
