Most rugged smartphones are typically thick and heavy. This is a tradition that manufacturer Doogee has consistently aimed to break with its Doogee Blade series. These phones endeavor to be slim and light, but still retain high durability and shock resistance, so they are “rugged phones” that also happen to look pretty.

The pinnacle of that quest was the 11 mm thin Doogee Blade 10, which fused stylish design with tough but light armor, creating a super-slim phone with a MIL-STD-810H certification. Now, the successor is called Doogee Blade GT, and it aims to further enhance the style that the company has been working on, modernizing it for the current world.

The back of the Doogee Blade GT features a multi-LED lighting segment to add a special touch of unique looks, fun, and visual interaction with the smartphone.



And it’s super-easy to use — the “Light Elf”, as Doogee calls it, has its own app pre-installed on the phone. Simply tap it, and you can very easily set how the LEDs will glow for notifications and calls. It can also light up for low battery or during charging, so you are informed about battery status even with the phone face-down. You can also light them up in specific patterns: Happy, Sad, Excited, Rhythm, OK, and LOVE. And they can be set up to pump and blink with the music the phone is currently playing. You can very easily adjust the LED’s brightness by tapping and holding on the app to get the brightness slider.
