Doogee have released details of the Doogee Turbo Mini F1, a sub $130 phone with LTE and 64 bit Mediatek processor.
Doogee have released details of their first LTE smartphone, along with the annoucement of the the launch of their new ‘F’ range of phones. Previous Doogee devices adopted the ‘DG’ name, but this latest phone comes under the new ‘F’ range. DOOGEE say this is because of ‘fast’ 4G LTE .
The Doogee Turbo Mini F1 is already creating quite a stir as the phone will cost below $130 internationally and manages to use a 64bit MT6732 processor with native LTE support. We’ve seen other low-cost LTE phones before but most have gone for a MT6582 with MT6290 chipset, based on older 32Bit architecture.

According to the official specs the Mini F1 will support FDD-LTE Band 800/1800/2100/2600MHz （B1:2100，B3:1800，B7:2600，B20:800MHz）and WCDMA 850/900/1900/2100MHz, meaning that it could work in North America along with most European countries. This is actually quite a big step for DOOGEE and we ought to see other Chinese brands offering similar frequency support.

Other specification details include a 4.5-inch display, Mediatek Hot Knot and a BAK battery for longer battery life.
At such a lower price we do see just 1GB RAM and a qHD display, but the Mini F1 is sure to prove popular for users wanting an affordable LTE phone with good network support.
We’ll bring more details as we get them.

this is actually a very big step and its brimming with the dilligence of foresight!
i expect big , flagship companies to Follow in the footsteps of this!
qHD display? That can’t possible be right.
What makes you feel so? It does have a qHD screen.
A sub $130 phone with 1GB of Ram I would have expected a 1080 or 720p screen.
Ah that makes sense. Perhaps a few months before the MT6732 gets to the same price as some older MTK chips and that’ll hold true hopefully 🙂
how pricey is mt6732 as compared to the older chips?
Not privy to the raw numbers but I’m pretty certain it’s around 1.5-2x the price of say the MT6582 right now. With time prices should come down, and $80 MT6732 should be a possibility in the near (5-6 months) future.
I ABSOLUTELY agree!
Please list all China phones with B20:800MHz?
what is BAK battery?
This is a very similar base body as the DG 2014 Turbo just with a different camera. I have the 2014 and its a very solidly built phone. Doogee is a very excited brand to watch in the future.
