On the rear, we have a camera module housing four cameras and an LED flash. Far Beneath the camera module, is the Doogee branding, which pretty much indicates its a Doogee smartphone.

moving upfront, we have a 6.1-inch LCD with a drop notch, as the slightly smaller 5.99-inch display on its predecessor. However, we have got a lower resolution at 720 x 1560 Pixels, as opposed to 1080 x 2160 on the S80. This display also has a density of 282 PPI.
