package Contents
DHL shipping methods come in a plastic bag in which there is a cardboard box filled with bubble wrap. Once you wade through the entire travel package and sheathing, you see a medium-size box with the Doogee DG800 Valencia. After opening it, of course, have a phone, charger, data cable, headphones, little documentation and the second the battery cover that does not have back touch. You could say that the packaging is superior, however headphones are terrible. Their sound quality is so low that Theky are not even for the emergency listening, and so the only use we can find is a handsfree.
Appearanceand workmanship
Although the phone is a typical structure of a rectangle with slightly rounded corners, looks very elegant. On the front you wount find any logo or the highlighted speakers or buttons, only the black edges of the screen and a small silver frame lining the entire perimeter of the phone. The edges around the screen are not large, as some Chinese phones often are, but they are average-sized. Even so, the phone can still be a little smaller. Underneath are then symmetrically placed three control buttons, but it never shines in the darkness.
The back you can describe twice because the phone is supplied with two covers. The first is always the same, namely white with a touch panel, and a second, optional diamond-shaped fluted and available in many colors. The second battery cover does not include the touch panel. On Both covers you see Doogee sign with the slogan, LED, camera and loud speaker.
Rear covers are in the form of trays into which the telephone plant. Take off is not a problem, but that does not mean that they were on leave. The phone is structurally good. After removing them, there are three slots - two SIM cards (mini and micro) and one for the Micro SD card.
Volume buttons are on the left side, while the open / closed button is on the right. Underneath is a microphone on the top of it's headphone jack and microUSB connector.
Design of the phone is very good, both covers look very good and still have plenty of colors to choose from. The phone is beautifully thin and the only criticism we have the smooth plastics, which literally hands glide.
Structurally phone is also well treated, nobody did not creak and is tough, at least to look at. "Crash" tests of course we did not try.
Hardware and Display
In theprice range will probably Valencia is going to be at the highest level by offering Mediatek MT6582 Quad Core 1.3GHz, 1GB RAM memory and 8 GB of internal storage, expandable with a microSD card. The display has a size of 4.5 inches with IPS technology and qHD resolution (960 x 540 pixels). The rear camera offers 13 megapixel and 8 megapixel front. Phone storage is divided into internal memory, which is 3.36 gigabytes, and the phone memory offering 2.76 gigabytes This bit unfortunate division solves the SD card and also be able to determine a baseline drive for writing.
Connectivity phone is standard, although nowadays already lags absence NFC and LTE fast network. 3G and 2G network is then a matter of course, as well as wireless technology Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g / n. Cheers Bluetooth version 4.0. Many welcome also Dual SIM, which is typical for Chinese phones. SIM cards work in Dual standby, which means that both SIMs are active, but when you receive a call on one SIM to the other can not reach you.
The camera is at the premium price category considerably, both front and rear. But it is important to also. We can say that very well, but not without problems. More in camera.

Display
Although the IPS display technology offers a nice qHD resolution 4.5-inch screen, which does a decent softness 245 PPI. Colour rendition is decent, as well as viewing angles, but the sun even at maximum brightness will be slightly squint your eyes to read what you need. For the display, we have little to complain about his reaction. It is often necessary to repeat clicks, as well as scrolling or zooming using multitouch. Doogee DG800 can handle only two fingers on the screen at once, which we consider nearly enough.
Performance tests (benchmarks)
Phone were subjected to two basic benchmark tests to verify the performance of the paper. As always, the results are approximate. Our test Valencia did not fare badly at all. See for yourself.
gaming performance
Numbers of raw performance testing has shown that in-class phone is a predator, and it also confirmed at the gaming test, in which we tried two very demanding titles.
Real Racing 3
The third part of the famous racing series Real Racing did not make any problems to the phone and even in dusty corners, where 2x more powerful phones sometimes have problems, we did not noticed reduced FPS.
GTA: San Andreas
In this game it is possible to set the quality of video output. That we automatically set to HIGH and the game ran beautifully so smoothly. We could, of course, and we tried to set on MAX in this case, we also noticed some glitches and it means that Valencia do not be afraid to venture into almost any game on Google Play.
connectivity
Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and data networks
With Wi-Fi during use, there were no problems and the strength of the signal we would describe as average, not the worst or the best, so you will not be disappointed or surprised.
Smart watches and other additional equipment we had no the opportunity to try, but the regular transfer files between devices run without problems.
Data network the phone and had no trouble switching between faster and slower networks, the question of a second.
USB OTG
The presence of USB OTG is better for Chinese phones already rule and thus there is also in our model. So thanks to a special reduction, which unfortunately is not included, you can view the contents of your USB flash drive or hard drive, or you can connect a keyboard or mouse.
GPS
With GPS it is for Chinese phones tricky, even for the better. At the moment we have three Doogee phones, two of which are currently Valencia. In two phones Navigation runs flawlessly and fixes possiton a few seconds, however, in just the test in Valencia we first fetch it took over an hour now and always struck fixation position for over a minute, which is quite a lot. It's better than other models, mostly those with older MTK processors, there may not navigation work at all. The solution faster fixation may be different applications, but they need to work ROOT. We can say that in most cases the navigation should not be a problem, since the search for information and exploring foreign reviews, we found that Doogee DG800 are navigation issues minimal.
Battery Pack & Life
Phone battery has a capacity of 2000 mAh, which is nowadays the average value and the word mean we can characterize an entire chapter and battery life. Doogee DG800 Valencia is in the intensive use of traditional phone one day and you'll have to use stronger even in one day at the end to save or find a drawer. But if only a few times during the day you call, send an SMS, the internet, read the message and you will find buses, so no problem getting on for two days.
Phone We also subjected to the test web browsing. Retrieving page Světandroida.cz we set every 15 seconds. Phone ran dimmed connected to Wi-Fi and of course the ever-lit display. The battery has run out for 3 hours and 14 minutes, which is average to slightly below average result.
user Interface
Android 4.4.2 please
Brand Doogee already gives to their newer phones latest version of Android 4.4.2 KitKat, which is definitely praise and another pleasant surprise is that Doogee with their old phones and updates take place even through OTA update. Immediately after turning on the phone correcting us one update added. Doogee DG800 Valencia offers mostly clean and fast Android, which is only slightly modified graphically, and I mean especially icons.
The speed and stability of the environment
Reactions phone are brisk and we were very satisfied, even during boot animations we noticed almost no jams. During our testing system once or falling.
software equipment
Recognition of drawing commands
On your phone, you can set the recognition of gestures in the drawing box. Then you while constantly displayed on the wheel, which you drawing box causes. Wheel you can put anywhere on the screen and then remain there. The application can then set what gestures to launch specific applications. It is a simple and functional way, but set more complex gestures means that you may get to him exactly imitate, so it's better to stick with wheels, ripples or sign for infinity.
The rear touch panel - Touch Back
Back Touch is one of the most interesting features of the phone and also very unusual novelty, because it almost will not find on other phones. The rear panel can be used for sliding over surfaces in maps, gallery, settings, and the web browser. This means almost everywhere. Furthermore, he can set up to run any application on double tap. Basically, you have to double tap, the camera, so anytime when running the screen at any time, you can immediately move into the camera. In it further back panel you use then - when pressing and holding the switch between the front and rear camera and when pressed take the picture. Photographing the rear panel is particularly useful to photograph the front of the camera. Back Touch works well, is accurate and has a fast response. However, its use in practice is not very practical. It is positioned so that your Fišer is always on it. This may sound great, but if you do not want to use the panel and you can have it on, so you will inadvertently affect the operation of the phone, you will constantly driven into the camera and take pictures of unwanted images. Of course if you do not use the back panel, so he simply turned off and will not bother you.
Contacts, phone and keyboard
Application caring for managing contacts and dialing is a classic like a pure Android and there is nothing to criticize, rather the opposite. Dialer supports T9, so it is convenient search contacts.
The keyboard also comes from a pure Android, so it is nothing to write home about and maybe you'll be better off with an alternative to Google Play. It surprised a message box that appears on the screen after unlocking the phone, unless of course you have some incoming SMS. If it's useful or annoying feature is up to you, but we did not mind.
Camera and video
On paper this phone is great - front offers superior 8 megapixel, back then 13MPx. Of course, auto focus, Full HD video recording and LED flash. How is the quality? It is the reasonably priced great, but a few ills we came.
applications camera
The environment the camera is hilarious, and generally you would it not be missing anything. You can capture images in many modes including panorama, HDR, live photos (something like gif) or in the beauty of the face. Telephone blade automatically, but can he dopomoct click on the display to the focus on a specific object. The application is not necessary to describe them, because if you did not comply, thanks to the Android version KitKat, you can download the official Google camera, which can be found for example in the Nexus.
resume
Our feelings after testing the phone are mixed. On the one hand you get the perfect device for actual folk money, and if you're not afraid to order from China, so much cheaper. On the other side of the phone has a few things that disappointed us. These little things mean problems with GPS, multitouch support only two fingers in murky conditions when shooting ou can see a gray stain in the bottom left corner. If you think that you will not be bothered by these things, or assigning them to a sort of compromise price, so do not hesitate. The phone is Android offers nimble with a decent camera performance and compact dimensions. Furthermore, we offer a lot of interesting cool features like rear touch panel, proximity control and the recognition of drawn gestures. The phone will be enough for the vast majority of games that you play fluently in addition, of course, will not disappoint even when surfing the internet or working with files.
Due to the two housings supplied in the basic package, smaller size, perfect front camera "selfies" and attractive appearance would phone is also recommended for women.
