@@bensgadgetreviews 4:50 5:42 Hi Ben, I noticed you forget to cut these parts also in past videos. I think the most of the time is fine if you just correct yourself and continue talking without repeating the phrase, but of course it's up to you :) And do you have a video or an article where you discuss your travels (with rules and restrictions) between US, HK, Asia this year?

Good phone for someone working within the construction industry that needs a rugged phone for when at work.

Hello, I have been goin thru a bunch of rugged phones this past year. Last 1 i enjoyed was the s95pro. with the dual screen feature. I now am using the S96 pro. and am UNABLE to have or use or see options for the split screen.. On the s95 pro. all you had to do was hold the menu/app button on the phone it would split it, then allow you to open another app. That is not the same with this phone. TBH i may revert back to the 95pro if its not possible.. Does anyone here think they can help with this issue? THanks !

Night vision

[@linhvu7262]

Why do I see the information that s96 pro uses Helio G90T guys?

[@immanuelkantholz9033]

the Lumigon T3 had an IR camera years ago. So if anything, the doogee is the second phone with night vision camera.

[@willemprimo4230]

I have got it. It is a good phone. Very fast. Good 48 Megapixels camera. Night vision is amazing. Pitch black becomes visible. Really spooky, it will make u feel like a ghost 👻. May be used for night navigation if you are a bushcrafter or survivalist. Heavy, but you would expect it. Perhaps even not that heavy for a rugged, I am not an expert. All in all, a really good value for money. And about security...Only time can say, let's cross fingers 😂

[@sharrieflentz1035]

I love hiking and adventuring for waterfalls but the having a great camera on your phone plus battery is a must and I think this may be the first time I disagreed with you but I still loved the video

Does this phone has the Blinking Notification Light ? Thanks.

[@dmandman9]

[@charliebelize]

Ben, I enjoy your reviews but how is this the first phone with a Night Vision Camera. The CAT S60 had a FLIR (Forward Looking Infra Red) module built in it, back in 2016 and since then, CAT have also released the S61 and S62 Pro, each with FLIR enhancements. All three have similar if not better specs and are also completely ruggedised with MIL Spec and water proof. Did I miss something in your intro?

[@garychambers5930]

Thermal imaging and infrared night vision are different I have the cat s60 ,61, and blackview 9800 pro Witch all have thermal imaging I will be ordering this one soon

[@charliebelize]

Gary, yes are are right and so is Ben's claim. I had to do more research and found this article from FLIR: www.flir.co.uk/discover/ots/thermal-vs-night-vision/ Out of interest, which is the best FLIR phone of the 3 you already have please, I have the CATS60 already but was considering the Blackview 9800 Pro as it's on a Amazon Black Friday sale? Thanks in advance!

[@omw9965]

Important questions people complain on these phones that no reviewer covers::: once you download 10 apps or more from official Playstore does the phone freeze up now and then? headphone jack - what type of connector size & name is it? NFC does the NFC work with most major brand of apps --> even with newer version of android which most people are having problems with? The unremovable google search screen is not necessary to answer, Last question is why a high powered battery life phone always has owners making videos of it with battery life 10% or less? It's like a mechanic he works on cars fixing them but his car is always in need of repair lol...
