Just thought some of you might be interested in a bit of a review.
This is for you Android guys (ie samsung type phones), die hard apple iphone guys can look away now...
My last phone was a oneplus 5T, which has been good to be fair, now 2 years old. Got this cause it was slightly cheaper than samsung but with the same fast cpu at the time. I will say this about oneplus, their phones are top notch, good value, charge VERY fast, like 0-50% in about 15 minutes or less (thanks to a 4amp charger), zero bloatware on the phone out of the box(nice). Has no wireless charging and for me the usb c charge port always fills up with dirt of some sort from the farm, then I can't get the cable in. so have to poke around with a pin to clean it out before charging, every couple of weeks. A right pain. Battery is 3300mah and lasts 1-2 days depending on work.
But decided new phone had to be similar, but with wireless charging, tougher, big battery(although the oneplus was OK on this), waterproof, good value.
There are alot of top notch, latest processor spec tough phones coming out of Honk Kong at the moment. From AGM, Doogee, Blackview, Ulefone, to name a few.
Some with 13000mah batteries (=60 days standby time), Often at reasonable money too.
So after some searching online, ordered a Doogee S95 Pro from Hong Kong with extra clip-on battery.

Anyway, slightly nervous about ordering from there, but thought, give it a go.
was about £389 delivered (was in USD) (not a bad price for their flagship model)
Phone delivered the other day, without drama, (took awhile, but old phone was working, so not an issue)
Battery is 5150mah, with a clip on magnetic battery for another 3500mah on top should you get caught short.
Can be left in 3 metres of water for 4 hours. 1000 drops from 2 metres high on to concrete.
Works fine, just enter your google account details and all phone contacts and emails etc come down from google servers, easy enough...
Wireless 2amp charging, seems reasonably fast.
Battery last several days easily, probably go for over a week with the clipon extra.
All ports covered over by strong solid rubber covers, so no dust/water issues there.
Hopefully will never remove them, because will always charge wirelessly.
Seems quick, not much bloatware, Chunky with all that protection around it, which is reassuring.
Fingerprint scanner on the side for unlocking(if that's your thing) slightly harder to use than the oneplus's one on the back, but get used to it with practice.
There is also the AGM x3 which is a recent processor phone, which is a bit less military like and more standard looking, but with waterproof and is still tough, but maybe not quite so. with wireless charging. I nearly went for that, so def 1 to consider.
So, pleased with the phone and slightly sad to let my trusty oneplus go, prehaps keep that in the car as a sat nav...
