The Doogee Blade GT Play is equipped with a 5800 mAh rechargeable battery that is non-removable and supports 18W fast charging. Wireless charging and reverse wireless charging are not available. The device includes a battery level indicator, allowing users to monitor remaining charge at a glance.

The Doogee Blade GT Play includes a built-in radio but omits a 3.5 mm headphone jack and stereo speakers. On the wireless audio side, none of the high-quality Bluetooth codec options are supported, meaning aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, and LDAC are all absent.

The Doogee Blade GT Play supports 5G connectivity with a maximum download speed of 2770 MBits/s, alongside dual SIM capability and Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) and Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac). Bluetooth 5.2 and NFC are both present, while the device connects via USB Type-C with USB 2.0. For navigation, GPS, Galileo, a compass, and an accelerometer are included, though a gyroscope, barometer, and motion or optical tracking are absent. The fingerprint scanner handles biometric authentication, as 3D facial recognition and an iris scanner are not supported. There is no external memory slot, no HDMI output, no infrared sensor, no ANT+ support, no heart rate monitor, no built-in projector, and no stylus included. Emergency SOS via satellite, crash detection, and DLNA certification are also not featured.
