The color tone in the images is also a fairly natural detail, especially in outdoor photographs.

There is also a 16MP telephoto camera that can capture great photos at 4x optical zoom and the photos come out fantastic. There is also a 50MP ultra-wide camera that can capture images with a wide field of view and its detail levels are comparable to the main camera. The color tone is also quite natural.

The fourth sensor is the 64MP infrared night vision camera, which is accompanied by two infrared LEDs that illuminate the scene for the night vision camera to capture.

Conclusion

The Doogee DK10 is a premium rugged smartphone that doesn’t shell out a few euros to get the best performance, be it screen, chipset, camera or battery. Every part of the smartphone is uniquely designed to deliver the best possible performance. The camera performance is by far the best part of the smartphone. We shouldn’t expect top performance from a rugged smartphone. It has a quad camera setup that includes all the camera lenses and even infrared cameras. These are proper cameras with the right hardware to provide stunning photos.

In fact, it is more expensive compared to other Doogee smartphones, but it also comes with more capabilities and performance than their other smartphones. Its camera performance is through the roof. The price is also justified considering everything it offers. Its only real competition is the Ulefone Armor 23 Ultra, which offers almost everything this smartphone has but at a much higher price. A drop in cost also comes with a drop in performance, and in this case, it’s camera performance. So with this smartphone, you win on cost but lose on camera performance. However, the final decision is up to you, so it is better to choose a smartphone based on your requirements and needs.
