Lets see what we have got in the segment of specifications in more detail:

DISPLAY
HT6 sports 5.5 inch IPS capacitive display with HD resolution of 1280×720. Display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3 such that you don’t have to worry about the screen protectors anymore. It makes display break resistant, scratch resistant and also water resistant. Above that HT6 uses higher contrast ratio for bright and detailed images. Display renders high color Saturation Screen which makes the display more visible even under direct sunlight. Although HD resolution on 5.5 inch display is not the best combination but HT6’s display is unique in its own way providing amazing visual experience with nice viewing angles.
PERFORMANCE
DOOGEE HT6 is powered by 64-Bit MTK6735 Quad Core chipset clocked at 1 Ghz which is a bit down. It comes with Mali-T720 GPU along with 2 GB RAM+16 GB ROM. Processor is really underclocked but still general performance is way upto the mark. No lags while browsing through apps and during daily usage were found but when it comes to heavy usage or high end gaming you won’t be able to play high end games at max settings although it could be at medium or low settings. Games like Fifa 14, NFS Most Wanted etc are playable. But for your daily usage HT6 will never disappoint you. 2 GB RAM can handle multi-tasking with ease. HT6 is a decent performer with high end gaming possible at low settings.
SOFTWARE
HT6 is running on latest Android version 5.1 lollipop out of the box which is a plus point since most of the other devices available around this price tag are running on version 5.0.1 or 5.0.2. We already know that android 5.1 lollipop was a big game changer when it was introduced, lots of new features were added like Smart WiFi, improved battery backup with the power saver option, bunch of new transition animations etc. Android Lollipop provides a very smooth and easy UI and amazingly smooth performance.
CAMERA
HT6 has 8 Megapixel Sony primary camera (SW 13MP) with fast focus for crystal clear clicks everytime. 1080p videos can be recorded @30fps. Images clicked are very much decent and is decorated perfectly with the natural colors, but low light images are quite a dissatisfaction. Flash does’t lit up too much such that wide area could be covered. Images captured in low light contains dull colors. But the camera’s performance is good at the price point which is being delivered. So Primary camera performance is decent all over.
Secondry camera is 2Megapixel (SW 5MP). Its Performance is also pretty good. It comes with a Beauty software pre-installed with the camera app dedicated with features like whiten teeth, smooth skin etc. HD 720p video can be recorded by Front camera. Low light images are not so good but still are acceptable.
Overall Camera performance is just above average.

Where To Buy From?
1 Comment
This device has 6250mAh massive battery, that is very cool. But for other specifications, I prefer Bluboo Maya, it carries 2GB RAM, 16GB ROM, 13MP camera and Android 6.0 OS, only needs $70.
