Display Comparison
The Nothing Phone (1) features a 6.55-inch display capable of reaching 663 nits of peak brightness, providing good visibility outdoors. While the Doogee Blade GT’s display specifications are not provided, its focus on battery life suggests a potentially less power-hungry panel, though likely at the expense of peak brightness. The Nothing Phone (1)'s display is a key strength, offering a vibrant and easily viewable experience, while the Doogee’s display remains an unknown quantity.
Camera Comparison
The Nothing Phone (1) boasts a dual 50MP camera system, focusing on photo and video capabilities. Details regarding the Doogee Blade GT’s camera are absent, making a direct comparison difficult. However, given its price point, it’s reasonable to expect a less sophisticated camera setup. The Nothing Phone (1)'s emphasis on image processing and sensor quality likely provides a superior photographic experience, particularly in challenging lighting conditions. The absence of details on the Doogee’s camera makes it difficult to assess its capabilities beyond basic functionality.
Performance
Both devices utilize 6nm chipsets, but the architectures differ significantly. The Doogee Blade GT’s Mediatek Dimensity 7050 employs a dual-core Cortex-A78 setup (2x2.6 GHz) alongside six Cortex-A55 cores (6x2.0 GHz). The Nothing Phone (1) uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G+ 5G, featuring a single Cortex-A78 core (1x2.5 GHz) and a tri-cluster of Cortex-A78 cores (3x2.4 GHz) plus four Cortex-A55 cores (4x1.9 GHz). The Snapdragon 778G+’s more numerous high-performance cores *suggest* a slight edge in multi-threaded tasks, but the Dimensity 7050’s higher clock speeds on its A78 cores could translate to better single-core performance. The Doogee’s chipset is newer, potentially benefiting from optimizations. Neither device specifies RAM type, but LPDDR5 is likely on both.
Battery Life
The Doogee Blade GT’s 30:21h endurance rating is a standout feature, indicating exceptional battery life. This is coupled with a 1300 cycle lifespan, suggesting long-term battery health. In contrast, the Nothing Phone (1) offers a significantly lower 108h endurance. The Doogee’s 18W wired charging is slower than the Nothing Phone (1)’s 33W wired charging (50% in 30 min, 100% in 70 min), which also includes 15W wireless and 5W reverse wireless charging. While the Doogee prioritizes longevity, the Nothing Phone (1) offers greater charging flexibility and speed.
Buying Guide
Buy the Doogee Blade GT if you need a phone that can reliably last through two full days of heavy use, or if you frequently engage in demanding tasks like gaming or video editing. Buy the Nothing Phone (1) if you prioritize a unique aesthetic, faster charging speeds (including wireless), and a more polished software experience, even if it means compromising on battery longevity.
