The pictures of the Doogee S89 Pro were always a bit bluish, colorless and overexposed at the time, so I was curious how the comparison would turn out this time. So I put the whole thing up against my iPhone 13 Pro Max, although it’s certainly not a completely fair comparison due to the price difference. But a smartphone also grows with its challenges.
Let’s start on the outside first and look at the scene with the afternoon sun and the snow. Not quite easy through the slightly reflective snow but, it went quite. However, the overexposure is still there, which suggests a tuning error by the manufacturer. This could certainly be corrected via firmware. But even the gamma value is still clearly too high.
Even indoors with artificial light, there is permanent overexposure. It has already been seen in the outdoor area that the electronics sharpen and overdraw strongly. This is even more noticeable here with the background. While it looks nice and crisp at first glance, it misses the original by miles, which captures the iPhone much better. An exaggerated sharpness is created here, which is perhaps supposed to prove something, but cannot. Too much post-processing, but even that could be corrected if only the AI didn’t exaggerate so energetically.
The portrait mode is almost perfect, even on the contours. However, the color saturation is somewhat lacking here as well, and the sharpening is visible (though not as distracting). So this is not much worse than the iPhone for now.
The macro in room light, on the other hand, goes completely wrong. While the iPhone despairs a bit of its own (insufficient) light sensitivity, the AI adds some details (see writing on the spice grinders) and everything is recorded a bit noisy overall, the Doogee V30 does not even know a real macro mode and flattens everything AI-softly into the picture. Nothing is noisy, but you can hardly recognize anything, unfortunately. This is such a middle thing of lost focus and bokeh, but out of focus even though the flower center (pistil) was manually selected.
And the zoom? Which zoom actually? Visually, nothing works at all, and electronically, well, yes. So don’t. We see that we see nothing. It is therefore better not to use the optical zoom, it is a wasted effort.
Finally, we come to the advertised highlight and NightVision, which is not available on the iPhone. The two IR diodes are sufficient to illuminate a normal-sized, completely dark room well and to produce noise-free images. Outdoors, it doesn’t reach very far, but you can still see quite well around 10 to 15 meters, then the pixel rain comes. We see once a picture of the V30 with IR and without any light in the room and once with ceiling illumination. Also pay attention to the tile tattoo, which seems to be magically erased. 😀
Photos and videos – interim conclusion
The front-facing camera is a thing of its own, because it is just good for selfies in WhatsApp and a bit of Messenger video. For real photos, this is nothing. Skyping is actually quite good, even though the camera distorts slightly like a frog’s lens and blurs extremely.
The video recordings go up to 4K, but the real 20 FPS is nothing to really get excited about now. Full HD is better then, because the 1080p is quite ok. But there is also far too much AI at work in the videos, and you can feel the same slight overexposure and strong overdrawing or over-sharpening as in the photos in every detail. This is a real shame because the rear cameras do a pretty good job in themselves. But you can’t correct the overexposed areas afterwards. Gone is gone, unfortunately. This not only applies to videos, but also to “normal” photos, which the Doogee V30 manages quite well overall, but still cannot set any standards. Hardly any macro capability and no real optical zoom that can convince.
