Speaking on the provisions for tough terrains, we have IP68 and IP69 rating for water and dust rating. We have reinforced edges that help reduce the shock impact that arises from drops. It also helps reduce the impact on the display.

Upfront, we have a single 8MP camera with an aperture of f/2.2 and a 90-degree field of view.

Hardware and Software
The performance makeup of the Doogee S86 Pro is basically the same as that of the regular S86, except for the fact that it features a higher 8GB as opposed to 6GB RAM on its less premium sibling.

The other performance facilitators include a MediaTek Helio P60 processor, an ARM Mali-G72, and a non-removable 8500mAh battery, paired with a 24W fast charge.
