The company Doogee introduced a new secure smartphone S60 Lite. As the name suggests, this is a “lightweight” version of the conventional S60. We became aware of not only technical characteristics, which are still enough for comfortable use but also the cost of the novelty. The similarities between S60 and Lite version Despite the price tag is more democratic, Doogee S60 Lite adopted many features of the older models, including the appearance and design features. Massive, impact resistant, waterproof and dustproof casing consists of metal and polycarbonate inserts, thus, the degree of protection shell corresponds to the standard IP68.
Design
Doogee S60 Lite is made in a rugged case with a combination of aluminum and polycarbonate inserts, which serve as additional protection for impacts. The smartphone also has protection against water and dust according to the IP68 standard, so it can be at a depth of more than one meter for half an hour. Like the standard S60, the Doogee S60 Lite has an IP68 rating for water, dust and shock resistance. This is thanks to strong and sturdy metal and plastic joints, while the back consists of an aluminum cover and polycarbonate plastic, you know, there are plastic parts? Yes, in the Wireless Charging section. Perhaps this is why there is no design difference with Doogee S60, so no more hassle to do testing that will waste time and research money.

Features
Another different part is the rear camera which becomes 16 Megapixel with PDAF, OIS, and Dual LED Flash. While the front camera remains 8 Megapixel. The connectivity sector has also declined, with the Doogee S60 Lite no longer supporting the Global LTE 4G network, meaning that it is just a majority FDD and supports 2/3 parts of the world, including Indonesia. So this Lite version cannot use 4G networks in the United States. Here also provide NFC as a point of excellence, then 3G, wi-fi b / g / n, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS, A-GPS, GLONASS and unfortunately still use Micro USB 2.0 but with OTG.
