Doogee S118 Pro

: Known Reliability Issues

User reports suggest the S118 Pro

has a higher chance of encountering issues that detract from its usability, compared to the more tried-and-tested S118

design.

 

    Front Camera Freezing: This is a frequently cited issue. One user reported that the front camera "almost always freezes". While a firmware update reportedly solved the issue for another user, it indicates a recurring software optimization problem that may require manual intervention or be present in older stock.

    Speaker and Microphone Failures: Some users have experienced premature failure of essential components. One review on versus.com mentioned their speakers failed and both microphones stopped working shortly after.

    Inconsistent Build Quality: While both phones are rugged, some S118 Pro

    units seem to have minor physical vulnerabilities. A user mentioned the charger disassembling easily, and the screen chipped from a pocket-height fall in a way they didn't expect from a rugged phone.

    Firmware/Software Instability: General user sentiment in tech forums suggests that Doogee's firmware, particularly on newer Pro models, can be buggy upon release. Issues like the Facebook app freezing or the phone heating up during video calls have been reported post-update. Doogee S118

: A More Stable Alternative

The standard S118

benefits from a more refined and established platform (Helio G99 processor and related firmware).

 

    Proven Durability: The S118

    has been shown to be an "absolute tank" in drop tests, surviving multiple impacts onto concrete with only minor scrapes, indicating a reliable physical build.

    Fewer Reported Bugs: The S118

    generally has fewer widespread, recurring software bugs reported by users compared to the Pro version.

    Reliable Performance: The 4G Helio G99 processor provides stable performance for daily use without the heating issues sometimes associated with the S118 Pro

    's 5G chipset under heavy load.

 

If 5G is not a factor for you, spending the extra $60 for the Pro version introduces potential reliability headaches that you would avoid by sticking with the robust and stable S118
