Doogee Fire 5

The Doogee Fire 5 features a rugged build with an IP68 ingress protection rating, allowing it to withstand submersion in water up to 1.5 m deep. The device measures 176.5 mm in height, 82.5 mm in width, and 18.7 mm in thickness, resulting in a total volume of 272.295375 cm³. At 389 g, it sits on the heavier end of the scale, consistent with the reinforced construction its ruggedized design demands. The phone does not support a folding form factor.

The Doogee Fire 5 uses an IPS LCD touchscreen measuring 6.6″ with a resolution of 720 x 1612 px and a pixel density of 269 ppi. It supports a 90 Hz refresh rate and delivers a contrast ratio of 1500:1, contributing to reasonably defined image reproduction. The display does not include branded damage-resistant glass, and it lacks support for HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and Always-On Display functionality. There is no secondary screen present on the device.

The Doogee Fire 5 is equipped with an octa-core processor running at 4 x 1.6 GHz and 4 x 1.2 GHz using big.LITTLE technology, built on a 28 nm process with a TDP of 3W and 8 threads. It comes with 3 GB of DDR4 RAM running at 933 MHz across 2 memory channels, supporting a maximum memory bandwidth of 7.464 GB/s and a maximum memory capacity of 6 GB, while internal storage stands at 64 GB on eMMC 5.1. Graphics are handled by the PowerVR GE8322, an integrated GPU with 4 execution units, 128 shading units, a base clock of 550 MHz, and a turbo clock of 800 MHz, supporting DirectX 11, OpenGL ES 3.2, and OpenCL 2. The chipset also features integrated LTE and 64-bit support, with an L3 cache of 0.512 MB. Benchmark results include an AnTuTu score of 154,000, Geekbench 6 multi-core and single-core scores of 725 and 164 respectively, Geekbench 5 scores of 2,956 multi-core and 901 single-core, and PassMark scores of 1,327 overall and 478 single-core.

The Doogee Fire 5 features a single-lens 13 MP rear camera with a CMOS sensor, supported by phase-detection autofocus, touch autofocus, continuous autofocus during video recording, and a quad-LED flash. Manual controls include exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance, while optical zoom is not available and neither is optical image stabilization, laser autofocus, or a BSI sensor. The rear camera supports HDR mode, burst shooting, slow-motion video recording, in-camera panoramas, and timelapse, though it does not shoot in RAW format, record HDR10 or Dolby Vision video, or capture 360-degree panoramas. On the front, there is an 8 MP camera with an f/2 aperture, though it lacks a dedicated flash, a multi-lens arrangement, or an under-display placement. Neither 3D photo and video recording nor dual-tone flash is supported on either camera.

The Doogee Fire 5 runs Android 15 as a free and open-source operating system, supporting multi-user access, voice commands, offline voice recognition, phone tracking, and on-device machine learning. Privacy controls are well represented, covering location privacy options, camera and microphone access management, clipboard warnings, and app tracking blocking, though cross-site tracking protection and Mail Privacy Protection are absent. The interface supports dark mode, dynamic theming, theme customization, widgets, customizable notifications, notification permission controls, a media picker, full-page screenshots, split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture mode, Live Text, sharing intents, and an extra dim mode. Users can also offload apps, run games while they are downloading, check battery health, and use a child lock. Features not included are Wi-Fi password sharing, focus modes, Quick Start, and the ability to use the device as a PC, and direct OS updates from the vendor are not provided.

The Doogee Fire 5 is fitted with a 13000 mAh removable and rechargeable battery, making it straightforward to swap out if needed. It supports fast charging at 10W and comes with a charger included in the box, while wireless charging and reverse wireless charging are not available. A battery level indicator is present to help users keep track of remaining charge.

The audio configuration of the Doogee Fire 5 is notably limited, as it lacks a 3.5 mm headphone jack and stereo speakers. On the wireless audio side, none of the advanced Bluetooth codec standards are supported, including aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, and LDAC. The device also does not include a built-in radio.

The Doogee Fire 5 supports Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) and Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, and GPS with Galileo, alongside a cellular module accommodating two SIM cards. Download speeds reach up to 300 Mbit/s and upload speeds up to 150 Mbit/s, though 5G is not supported. The device uses a USB Type-C connector running USB 2.0 and includes an external memory slot for expandable storage. A fingerprint scanner and accelerometer are present, while a gyroscope, compass, barometer, infrared sensor, and heart rate monitor are all absent. Additional features such as HDMI output, DLNA certification, ANT+ support, 3D facial recognition, iris scanner, motion tracking, optical tracking, crash detection, emergency SOS via satellite, and a built-in projector are not included, and no stylus is provided in the box.

The Doogee Fire 5 includes a video light, which can be useful for recording in low-light conditions. The display is flat rather than curved and uses neither sapphire glass nor an e-paper panel.
