DOOGEE New Upgraded Series of triplex Mobile Phones, BLACK

Love the look and feel. Not supported by my carrier

The phone is really nice. Obviously high quality.

The product advertisement clearly states that it will not work with the AT&T network so I knew that going in. I however have T-Mobile so I decided to give it a chance. When I popped my T-Mobile sim card in, the text message I got said that it was only partially compatible with the T-Mobile network and that coverage and data speeds would be limited. That's all fine and good. I drove around a little bit and it maintained 4G LTE connection and sending a bunch of test text messages worked out just fine.Data even worked just fine although a bit slow to load. I was able to stream youtube and things like that.The Speaker are AMAZING. This gets loud and the sound quality is excellent and again....LOUD.The problems are when you try to install apps on the phone. Waze installed, Facebook, FB Messenger, Youtube came preloaded, Netflix, HBO Max, TikTok, the Walmart App, Target App pretty much all of your basic apps installed no problem. I got to Instagram "This app is not compatible with your device". Of all the things to not be compatible with it says IG is not compatible, but you can install Uber, and FB, FB Messenger and all the other slew of apps I threw at it.The next problem arose as I started to install the games I usually play. All my games installed no problem. Lords Mobile, Pokemon Go, Suvivor.IO and many more installed just fine. But all the games are sluggish. Pokemon go has a distinctive lag that registers your movements half second to a full second later. It also hangs when accessing things like your Pokedex or your backpack. Things that don't happen on my Iphone 12 Pro Max or my Iphone X, or my Iphone 8. I understand that these are flagship products and cost 5x more, but they advertise this phone as being fast and powerful and able to multitask. This is clearly not the case with some apps.Youtube is almost perfect so far, but it still does lag as you are swiping, or if you are changing videos.Facebook loads and swipes through content flawlessly.The phone is HEAVY. I've only had the phone for 3 hours and my hand is sore because the phone weights just under 1 pound. It's a huge change from my Iphone 12 Pro Max.The screen looks pretty decent, but it requires a heavy touch for it to do anything. Light soft touches don't register so sometimes you are wondering if you pressed login and it's just lagging or if it actually registers your input.The smart button on the left side of the phone is touched way too easily. When holding the phone you accidentally press it all of the time. Most other phones do not have buttons on the left side in that position. Thankfully, the smart button is unbound out of the box. You have to assign the smart button a function for it to work.The camera resolution is quite good and it takes detailed pictures.As I use this phone more, I will update this review. So far, it does certain very very basic things well, but it does not perform well on the higher end. Do not compare this to a flagship device. It doesn't even come close.

It's heavy as hell as well.
