The Android 4.4.2 KitKat ROM running on the Doogee Kissme DG580 appeared to be a double-edged sword. While Doogee seem to have done a great job as far as optimization, stability and features go, they certainly didn’t when looking out for bugs.

Software:
First of all, the phone does only come with 8GB of internal memory, of which 4GB are usable for media files and 1.18GB for applications. While this is quite enough for simple apps, it certainly isn’t for some decent games. Now, while most phones do offer the option of moving applications over to the micro SD card, the Doogee DG580 doesn’t, which is totally not acceptable for anyone using lots of apps and games. Another serious bug is the pre-installed Doogee launcher, looking similar to MIUI, stops displaying the bar randomly, containing the app-icons that are displayed regardless at which home-screen you are. In the end this means that you can’t open up your phone dialer anymore, if you’d placed it inside of there. Workaround: Install another launcher. Luckily Doogee is offering OTA Updates for the DG580, which means these bugs eventually will be fixed sometime in the future.

Camera:
It features two 8 mega pixel cameras of which none is quite satisfying. Besides showing nice colors, there isn’t anything positive to mention about them. Images are blurred, noisy and the same applies to videos which in addition have a pretty bad audio quality. Finally the dual-LED flash is the biggest joke ever, as it isn’t even bright enough to even blinding you a tiny bit. They could’ve simply left the LED flash out at all and there wouldn’t be any difference.

Battery:
Not being a battery monster with only 2.000mAh of capacity, we didn’t expect much from the Doogee DG850. Yet we’ve been proven wrong. While the phone’s battery can’t do any magic, getting through the day with a fully charged cell is fairly easy with a few power saving measures thrown in. For a budget phone this is enough and no reason to complain. Plus, it has the bonus of featuring a replaceable battery. We’ve been a little surprised by the charging time, which is quite long at 2 – 2.5 hours (depending on the charger).

Conclution:
Doogee really managed to create a low-cost handset which is more than just a knockoff. While the Doogee Kissme DG580 isn’t the holy grail of the low-cost market, it still remains an impressive piece of kit with a very low price tag. If Doogee manages to fix the existing software bugs, this could become a very attractive handset for those with a small pocket. But for now you should seriously think about which features you need and which not. There are phones priced at a similar level, being less feature packed, yet free of bugs. You can live with the mentioned flaws? Fine, get yourself a DG580 and enjoy!
