Doogee’s new Note series is here and it’s focused on practicality over spectacle. The Doogee Note 56 Plus is an accessible smartphone designed for users who want dependable performance, long battery life, and a modern display at a fair price.
A Clean, Lightweight Design
For all it has to offer, the Doogee Note 56 Plus is slim and fairly light. With an 8.45 mm profile and a weight of 195 g, it’s easy to handle and use all day. The design is straightforward but subtly stylish, with a matte finish that doesn’t attract fingerprints and a number of mature colors to pick from — Cosmic Purple, Obsidian Black, Natural Color, and Forest Green.
It’s a budget-friendly device, but it avoids the glossy or overly plasticky look.
Large 6.56" display with a 90 Hz refresh rate
We live in a time when 60 Hz screens just don’t cut it. The good news is that anything north of that instantly feels and looks smoother. The Doogee Note 56 Plus uses a 6.56-inch HD+ panel with a 90Hz refresh rate, offering noticeably smoother scrolling for an entry-level device. Brightness and sharpness are respectable for the class, making it suitable for browsing, reading, and casual video watching.

A battery built for real usage
Remember our comment about the phone’s thin build? Well, it happens to hold a gargantuan 6150 mAh battery. That’s pretty big, even by flagship standards, and can easily stretch into two-day territory with normal use. Perfect for people that want to be on the go and not constantly worried about battery percentages.
When you are low, you can top it up via 18 W fast charging. You can also share that big battery via 5 W reverse charge.
The battery is silicon carbon tech, rated to maintain its properties for at least 1,000 recharge cycles or 4 years.
The core Android experience
The Doogee Note 56 Plus ships with Android 16 out of the box, including with all the Gemini features that it provides — easy research and studying, live translate, there for any question you have. Furthermore, the phone has its own set of features:
Dual System mode allows partial separation of files and apps between two system profiles
Private Space to keep your secrets secret
Split Screen for instant multi-tasking
Super Clipboard for easier copy and pasting — find items that you copied in the past, too
Game Space to optimize performance and block pesky notifications

Underneath the hood, you have 256 GB, expandable further via microSD card. The phone has 6 GB of RAM and a portion of its fast storage reserved for virtual memory expansion up to 48 GB. There are two other variants — the Doogee Note 56 and Doogee Note 56 Pro, which come with 64 GB and 128 GB storage at lower price points.
The camera essentials
The Doogee Note 56 Plus is equipped with a 50 MP Omnivision sensor for its main camera. The front features an 8 MP selfie camera.
The camera features fun filters to play with, Pro Mode if you really want to get in there and manually set up a shot, AI auto mode, smile detection, and a dedicated Night Mode. Plus, the selfie side still gets a Portrait Mode!
