Rugged phones are known to look a bit drab. A big, hulking armored device, mostly in black or gray, that’s purely utilitarian.
Well, with the Doogee V50 series, the manufacturer wanted to push that limit. Why not create a rugged phone that’s colorful and fun? Why not add features that are both useful and entertaining at the same time?
Doogee V50: phones with an AI Pet Companion
The new Doogee V50 and Doogee V50 Pro come with an AI assistant that can do things on the fly: translation, real-time information lookup, object identification via the camera, alarms and app control.

What sets it apart is that it comes in the avatar of an AI Pet Companion. A fun, cute-looking character that’s always there to help. On the Doogee V50 Pro, it even gets a permanent home — a small secondary screen on the back of the phone.
Both Doogee V50 phones are powered by the upper-class MediaTek Dimensity 8300 chip. Made to be responsive and dependable on your adventures, whether you need navigation, quick camera action, or to keep multiple apps active.

The main camera has a 200 MP sensor to capture your trek, with a dedicated 3x zoom camera that can go up to 50x digital.
But what sets Doogee apart is its inclusion of a night vision camera. The Doogee V50 has a 20 MP one, the Doogee V50 Pro upgrades it to a 64 MP night vision camera and also gets a dedicated camera button to get into it faster.
And yes, when we say Night Vision, we are talking full-blown IR tech for real nighttime visibility and imagery.
They also feature a POC Walkie Talkie system, which Doogee has incorporated in its professional smartphones before. Just like a walkie talkie, it allows instant communication between teams, but it’s over cellular or Wi-Fi, so there’s no range limit.
The two designs: RGB and speedy vs second screen and practical

The Doogee V50 is designed to have a sleek, speedy appearance, with flashy colors and a discrete star accent on its back. A LED ring around the camera module can light up with RGB, with different animations for notifications, calls, or music playback. It’s also useful to keep the phone visible when tossed outside, in the dark.
Doogee V50 Pro places a whole rear mini-screen on the back. That’s a ticker display that can show you notifications, battery status, a clock, or your AI Pet Companion. Its 2.06” diagonal is even big enough to use it as a viewfinder when you want to take a selfie with the 200 MP main camera.

Both of these models have massive 11,000 mAh batteries to keep the lights on during that long trek, camping trip, or road adventure. Memory options start at 256 GB + 12 GB RAM on the base Doogee V50, all the way up to 1 TB + 16 GB RAM on the Doogee V50 Pro.
The perfect headphone to pair: Doogee BoneBeat Swim Lite

The BoneBeat Lite is a sporty bone conduction band, which allows it to be completely sealed and IP68 water- and dust-resistant. Built for swimmers, but also perfect for other sporty activities. Since it leaves your ears completely open, you can still be fully aware of your surroundings while listening to your music, fitness app cues, or an audio book and doing your run.
They also have internal storage, so you can load the BoneBeat Swim Lite with .mp3s and use them autonomously.
