Design and Display
The appearance of the Doogee BL12000 Pro is pretty impressive. The design features metal and glass. We can see in this smartphone an attempt to reproduce something we have seen on some rival device. It sports a reflective rear that somewhat brings a device such as the Gionee S11 to mind. But this is one thick and heavy device at 14 mm and 300 g respectively, mainly as a result of the huge battery.
As for the display, the Doogee BL12000 Pro features a colossal 6-inch IPS panel with Full HD+ resolution of 1,080 x 2,160 pixels. This has an aspect ratio of 18:9 for better viewing experience.
Camera
The Doogee BL12000 Pro is a camera-focused phone that offers you not only dual rear cameras, but also dual selfie cameras. It packs a 16MP sensor and a 13MP sensor on the rear. Camera features include dual-LED flash, phase detection autofocus, and HDR.
You get another 16MP and 8MP sensor combo on the front. The selfie setup offers an amazing 130-degree wide-angle lens that enables you take more people into your shots. There is LED flash to brighten your selfies.
Hardware and Other Features
Looking at the configuration, it is safe to say the Doogee BL12000 Pro is ready for serious business. Compared to the Doogee BL12000, it comes with an upgraded octa-core MediaTek Helio P23 chipset that uses 16nm technology. This runs along at speeds up to 2.5 GHz. The 64-bit processor pairs with an ARM Mali-G71 MP2 and 6GB DDR4 RAM.
Onboard storage is 64 GB or 128 GB, depending on model, and is expandable. The Doogee BL12000 Pro boots Android 7.0 Nougat OS. It offers a fingerprint scanner for unlocking and security.
The unique selling proposition of the Doogee BL12000 Pro is arguably its humongous 12,000 mAh Li-Polymer battery. Doogee achieved this by combining two 6,000 mAh units. The juicer promises nearly 4-day runtime, or so they say. There is also fast charging support.

Doogee BL12000 Pro is not officially available in Nigeria and Kenya, but you will be able to buy the phone from a third party seller at Jumia via the Jumia Global soon. Doogee BL12000 Pro Price in Nigeria is expected to range from 110,500 Naira to 150,000 Naira depending on your location in Nigeria. Price in Kenya is expected at around 36,999 KSh.
