High performance hardware
The Doogee S98 has opted to install the Helio G96 processor, ideal for gaming, being a chip that will perform with any task that is put to it. The speed of the processor is linked to that of the GPU, which is the ARM Mali G57 MC2, with performance of all titles on the Android system.
Supporting the power of the CPU, there is the RAM memory that goes to 8 GB, it is more than enough to move various applications and video games. The storage is 256 GB, this section at the end is vital if you want to store information, from photos, videos, documents and much more.
Four integrated sensors
El Doogee S98 bets on three rear sensors, the main one is 64 megapixels, it will offer the best photos thanks to the built-in sensor. The second is a 20-megapixel one, it is night vision and will take photos in situations with low light or without it, the third is an 8-megapixel wide angle.
Already in the front, the Doogee S98 comes to incorporate a 16 megapixel selfie camera. The lens is suitable for all types of photos and videos in high resolution. The night vision sensor is accompanied by 2 infrared lights on the side, ensuring a clear image every time.

It will charge quickly with a 33W charger, enough to fully charge it in just over 40 minutes. Wireless charging is another option, it is 15W, a fairly important speed if we want to do it by this increasingly universal method.
Certification to resist
It has passed IP68 and IP69K certifications with flying colours., the S98 is waterproof from a depth of up to 1,5 meters and drop-proof from a height of 1,5 meters. It has also passed MIL-STD-810G testing, meaning it can be used in extreme weather conditions.
With this, it promises to be a resistive smartphone, but without losing design, which guarantees it to be an option for any user who is looking for a high-end phone. Doogee S98 thus has IP69K, IP68 and MIL-STD-810G certifications, three of the most important.
It resists high-level pressures, so if an object falls on top of its weight, it will hold it without messing up, since it is a resistive-type terminal.
