With a huge num­ber of mod­ern smart­phones, it is some­times quite dif­fi­cult to make a choice. And the pop­u­lar­i­ty of the device is far from the last indi­ca­tor by which many of us eval­u­ate the qual­i­ty and char­ac­ter­is­tics of devices. After all, the more pop­u­lar a smart­phone is, the more like­ly it is that it com­bines qual­i­ty, long ser­vice life and the nec­es­sary char­ac­ter­is­tics. Anoth­er impor­tant indi­ca­tor, of course, is the price. That is why we looked at the most pop­u­lar smart­phones and chose those that have some­thing to sur­prise tech­nol­o­gy fans.

One need only take a quick look at this smart­phone to under­stand why it has attract­ed so much atten­tion — the pre­mi­um design and six-inch dis­play, per­haps, speak for them­selves. Doogee BL 12000 is a real mod­ern smart­phone at a very com­pro­mise price. But this does not mean at all that it is infe­ri­or to ana­logues in pow­er or char­ac­ter­is­tics. Inside is a pow­er­ful eight-core Medi­atek MT6750 proces­sor. The smart­phone is also equipped with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of inter­nal mem­o­ry, which means you can eas­i­ly run mul­ti­ple appli­ca­tions and eas­i­ly store music, pho­tos and videos on the device.
