Design and Display
Although featuring a plastic body you would expect to see on a cheap device like it, the Doogee HomTom HT3 is certainly not your average budget device in terms of look.
You could easily mistake this for a mid-range device if looks were everything. It is pleasantly svelte at just 7.5 millimetres and has elegant curves in the right places.
The Doogee HomTom HT3 sports a 5-inch display with curvy 2.5D glass and a resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels. This is an IPS panel, so you should expect impressive wide viewing angles.
Camera and Storage
The Doogee HomTom HT3 comes with a capable-look 8-megapixel rear-facing camera with flashlight and autofocus. This is paired with a 5-megapixel selfie camera on the front.
On paper, these are impressive shooters for a phone at this price, although their high resolutions are made possible through interpolation.
Doogee Mobile provides decent onboard storage of 8GB capacity for holding your shots, videos and all. Interestingly, you will be able to extend storage capacity by up to 64 GB using a memory card – that’s more than is possible with the more expensive, although still-budget Doogee HomTom HT6.
Performance and OS
A quad-core MediaTek MT6580 is placed in charge of task execution on the Doogee HomTom HT3. The CPU is clocked at 1.3 GHz. It gets support from 1 GB of RAM to enable some level of enjoyable multitasking and gaming.
Android 5.1 (Lollipop) is the operating system of choice here and that offers great value for money in terms of capabilities and features you get to enjoy.
The HomTom HT3 offers dual-SIM dual standby functionality. It has juice supplied to it by a powerful 3,000mAh battery rated to deliver runtime of up to three days.
Pricing and Availability
Doogee HomTom HT3 is not yet available in Nigeria. When available, you can buy it at leading online stores in the country. Doogee HomTom HT3 Price in Nigeria is expected to range from N12,500 to N20,000 depending on your location in Nigeria.
