Ever heard of “Elasticity Arms” on a phone before? Nope neither had we, but Doogee are using them on their newest Doogee X6 and X6 Pro and here is a little info about what that actually means.
The Doogee X6 and X6 Pro are basically updated versions of the X5. The phones come with 5.5-inch displays, 3000mAh battery and a new side button design that Doogee claims improves the fit and feel of the phone while increasing the its service life.
Basically what the “Elasticity Arm” is is a flexible metal frame with buttons hidden beneath. The idea behind this is to improve the aesthetics of the phone, giving the metal side fewer gaps.
There is also the benefit of a longer service live too. Doogee say that this new integrated button design will mean that the physically controls will out last a more tradition design. With that in mind though, how often do you have to replace a phone because your power and volume buttons fail?
Gizchina News of the week
Its a small innovation, but a neat one that we expect to see used more more models that are launched through 2016. What do you guys think?
Time for Gizchinas daily Doogee advert….
In all fairness we’ve already had the daily Elephone plug….
Smh
Ironically the power button failed on my kingzone k1 after my wife knocked it flying out of my hands and the rest of the phone broke when I dismantled it trying to repair it!
lol … what happened ?
Both caught Sex-texting each other :p
lol … a very rare possibility !
I had that happen once very eerily similar only with a Zoppo.
stupid …
I wonder how much they are paying gizchina for these ads
I think is is a novel little innovation. I wouldn’t buy a phone because it had it or anything .. not sure I would deem it worth any extra money at all really, but it is pretty. and that’s what counts.
Why do chinese phone maker companies employ the same creative staff? We had an X6 from Vivo and now an X6 from Doogee. Not ot mention that Huawei “watch” with the stupid name of Z1. Just another Z1 in the line of Sony, Zuk, … who knows what … and Huawei. Can anybody explain their love of xyz and the constant aping of each other? Even the big ones seems to be so stupid!
Doogee should learn to make a phone that consumers want and are proud of and stop gimmicking about!
Doogee dose of the day
Deidre… Is that you?
what do you think guys? should we slaughter and rip to pieces the writer of thid article ? what do you think guys? WHAT DO YOU THINK GUYS???
“With that in mind though, how often do you have to replace a phone because your power and volume buttons fail?”
Was a common problem with the Ulefone Be Pro. I myself had to replace it because the power button stopped working.
No Thanks.
