This rugged Android with a 22,000mAh battery made my iPhone 17 Pro Max look puny

The Doogee S200 Max proves you can have extreme durability and performance in one package (but don't expect a lightweight device).

I usually have to wait a bit for a smartphone to complete its housekeeping tasks after first turning it on and setting it up, but this handset was straight to business, and effortlessly handled running a myriad of apps and browsers with dozens of tabs open. You don't get the cinematic punch that you get with an iPhone or latest Samsung Galaxy, but even that's wasted on social media because images and videos are compressed and downscaled to conserve storage space and bandwidth. Everything is packed into a tough outer that's rated for IP68/IP69K and MIL-STD-810H, and it can resist immersion in six feet of water for a day, drops from over 3-foot, dirt, dust, humidity, and pretty much anything else Mother Nature can throw at it.
