Design and Display
You have in the Doogee S30 a device that should withstand rough handling. It parades a rugged design with a metallic body. Doogee S30 features a Kevlar fibre cover that makes for toughness and great handling. It boasts IP68 certification, which means water and dust will not penetrate into it easily.
You will find a 5-inch IPS display on the front. This has HD resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels. With Full HD increasingly available, that might look insufficient. But you should still expect decent image quality.
Camera
Doogee also seems to intend the S30 as a more affordable device offering dual rear camera design. The phone combines two 8MP sensors; another source claims the second has 3MP resolution. Normally, you can expect better quality shots with this setup.
Doogee S30 shoots HD (720p) videos at 30 frames per second. Camera features include optical zoom and autofocus. A 5MP snapper with an 87-degree wide-angle lens caters to selfies.

Onboard storage capacity stands at 16 GB. This is expandable using a microSD card. The device boots Android 7.0 Nougat operating system.
