Meet S60 Lite Smartphone
Doogee S60 Lite is an affordable rugged smartphone you might be interested in, especially for those on a budget. The device is a much cheaper variant of Doogee’s rugged flagship device the S60. A combination of Aluminium Alloy and Polycarbonate formed its rugged back. The device is IP68 certified offering water, dust and scratch resistant. It can survive from drops and forceful impact without a scratch.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. Other features of the Doogee S60 Lite are Gyroscope, Coulomb-meter, Baroceptor, Hi-fi speakers and still provide 3.5mm audio. Other fast buttons are typical rugged smartphones like PTT, camera, and SOS.
