Doogee Blade GT: New smartphone with many rear LEDs is reminiscent of Nothing Phone (2)

The company Doogee has showcased a new smartphone. Although not yet available worldwide, the Blade GT is already listed by the first retailer and should be purchasable as an import. Internationally, many other smartphones from Doogee are available from online retailers. The phone currently is listed at US$359 on the company’s website, but you aren’t able to make an order yet.

The ultra-slim body, measuring just 10.5 mm (0.4 in), is a feature highlighted by Doogee. This figure needs to be considered in conjunction with the phone’s tough design. Rugged smartphones tend to be significantly thicker, but they also usually boast a much bigger battery than the 5,500 mAh battery in the Blade GT. According to the company, the Blade GT has received IP68, IP69K and MIL-STD810H certifications and can withstand an impressive temperature range. The Blade GT is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7050 SoC, a fairly modern processor that supports 5G connections and thus doesn’t pose any major limitations in this regard.

The phone is equipped with a decent 12 GB of RAM, 256 GB of storage, and Android 14. The 6.72-inch display offers an FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The main camera has a 48MP resolution. The speaker is rated at up to 1.5 watts. Doogee has given special attention to the phone’s back, decking it out with several LEDs that can operate in various modes. These LEDs can be used for different types of notifications – a little reminiscent of the design of the Nothing Phone (2).

I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.

After graduating with a bachelor’s degree in environmental engineering, I moved from Singapore to Cologne in 2014 and began pursuing a career as a freelance translator. Much of my translation work focuses on science, engineering and technology. My fascination with computers and mobile electronics began when I was young. And I have fond memories reading countless tech and gaming magazines. Working with Notebookcheck gives me the opportunity to incorporate my personal interests into my professional work.
