Doogee T6 Pro: overview of characteristics and capabilities

The Chinese company Doogee made its debut on the market in 2013 and has been rapidly gaining momentum since then. At the moment, the company’s product range is represented by a wide variety of devices, from budget “dialers” to secure “business devices” in crocodile skin cases. Today we are reviewing the T6 Pro model; it occupies a middle position in the company’s lineup, but is no less interesting and can even pleasantly surprise in some aspects.

Introduction

Long-lived smartphones have firmly established themselves in the modern market and are not going to lose ground.
Almost all manufacturers offer their models in this segment. Some of them are trying to achieve autonomy by developing smart programs to save charge, intelligently control the operation of the SoC, and so on. Others act much more simply, acting on the principle “the larger the battery, the longer it takes to discharge.” In general, this is how it is. The Doogee company took exactly this path, releasing a smartphone, when creating which they did not think about weight or dimensions, but were generous with battery capacity. This is the successor to the Doogee T6 already reviewed in the laboratory.

And since a 6,250 mAh battery in a smartphone with a 5.5″ display is not so common, it’s worth finding out how effective such a solution turned out to be and whether it is not inferior to its predecessor.

The Doogee T6 Pro smartphone appeared in our laboratory thanks to the Chinese online store GearBest.com, which also runs a specialized section at our conference: the Gearbest.com forum on Overclockers.ru.

Technical characteristics of Doogee T6 Pro

Considering the price segment, the technical characteristics can be called quite good. Compared to the previous model, the manufacturer has improved the hardware platform and added more memory. And if you remember the positioning of the hero of the review, you can forgive the low resolution of the display and not the most modest mass.

Packaging and equipment Doogee T6 Pro

The Doogee smartphone comes in a medium-sized cardboard box. Structurally, it is a traditional box with a lid. There are no complaints about the quality of the material used - you don’t have to worry about the safety of the contents.

The design is dominated by white color, taken as the background. The front side shows the device itself, the model is indicated in the blue area below, as well as the display diagonal and battery capacity.

From the back you can see the main characteristics of the device. As is usual with many Chinese brands, the box is devoid of factory seals.

Inside we are immediately greeted by the device itself; it is recessed into a special stand-shape and firmly fixed in its place. A transport protective film is glued to the display, with a regular one underneath.

Below we find a small flat box with the delivery kit. In addition to the standard accessories, several more items have been added here.

The package includes:

• Power adapter:
• USB-microUSB cable;
• USB-OTG cable;
• Protective case;
• Spare display film;
• Clip for opening the SIM card tray;
• Technical documentation.

The packaging performs its function perfectly and will ensure the safety of the contents during transportation without any problems, and nothing more is required from it. A nice feature was the presence of additional accessories included in the package, thanks to which you do not have to buy a cover or film separately.

Now let's turn our attention to the hero of the review.

Equipment

The device comes in a thick cardboard box with a fairly minimalistic design. In the package you can find almost everything you need to service your phone: a USB cable, an adapter, and a bag with additional small items. A pleasant fact is that among the “little things”, in addition to a paper clip and an adapter for a SIM card, you can find an additional protective film for the screen, a cloth for wiping the glass, OTG and a simple transparent case made of soft polymer. The OTG cable allows you to connect external drives and even charge other devices. A simple case will be enough to protect your smartphone for the first time after purchase, until you purchase something more convenient. What was surprising was the absence of even the most primitive wired headset.

Doogee DG580 vs Thl T6 pro - a battle of interesting budget devices, review - comparison.

Greetings! I'm always thinking about how to make my reviews not only informative, but also interesting. Today is an experimental review in the “battle” format: a battle between two popular budget products that are in the same price category, but quite different in concept and technical characteristics. I will compare smartphones and give them a certain score, where 5 is the maximum and 1 is the minimum. And at the end I will summarize everything in a small table in which you will find out the final result. To avoid unnecessary talk, I’ll say right away that the Doogee smartphone was provided to me by the Banggod store for free to write a review; I chose the phone model myself. The second smartphone was purchased with my own money from the Coolicool store. I am writing this for information and in no way am I advocating for any store. Everything that will be written below concerns only smartphones, and everyone will decide for themselves how to use the information. Smartphones cost almost the same: Dg580 - $115.99, and Thl T6 pro - $118, both are positioned as budget phones, but their technical characteristics differ significantly.

Video review of Doogee Kissme DG 580

As you can see, despite the same cost, we have two completely different devices. But which one is better? I still don’t know about this myself, because I haven’t added up the amount of points scored. We will learn about this at the very end. Our battle begins!!! The boxes of both smartphones are made of thick cardboard, which perfectly protects the contents from damage. Both boxes have a simple, no-frills style, with the technical specifications of the device listed on the back. 4 points for each in the piggy bank, for the maximum there is not enough originality.

Equipment. Here doogee gets 3 points for 2 films (one pasted on the display + 1 spare), headphones, USB cable, instructions. Thl has, in addition to the above, a plastic cover - a bumper, for which it receives one point more (4 points).

Chargers deserve special attention. Both are not perfect, they have flaws, so they get 2 points. The charger on the DG 580 has a maximum charging current of 1000 Mah, which is quite good with a 2500 battery, but my keen hearing is very susceptible to the squeaking sound produced by charging. I couldn’t sleep in a room with a charging phone, I had to take it to the kitchen - I clearly heard the charge impulses ((My wife didn’t hear anything. The T6 Pro turned out to be silent charging, but its maximum current is only 500Mah, which significantly increases the time of full charging a smartphone.

Now that we've sorted out the equipment, let's move on to the appearance. It’s not easy to evaluate here, because design is a purely individual preference, so I won’t give ratings for this item. I won’t say which one I liked better either. Let me show you some interesting features. Dg 580 is a copy of the design of the popular One Plus One model. The frame of the phone has a metal-look edging; in my opinion, it’s chrome-plated plastic. Pleasant, slightly rounded shapes, original, rough back cover reminiscent of artificial stone to the touch. The touch buttons are in the usual sequence: menu, home and back - without backlight. The LED near the front camera is an event indicator. The buttons are located on different sides: lock on the right, volume on the left. The connectors are located on the top. For ergonomics, comfort, grip and tactile sensations I give the smartphone 4 points.

Thl T6 Pro inherited its design from T6S, which in turn borrowed it from someone else. In general, the design is also not original. Metal inserts on the sides, rounded top and bottom of the smartphone. Back cover with matte texture. The layout of the buttons and connectors is similar to that of the competitor, the backlighting of the touch buttons is also absent, but an event indicator in the form of a red LED is present. I give it a solid 5 for ergonomics; it fits comfortably in the hand.

However, I deduct 1 point from THL for the camera being too protruding. Carrying this phone without a case may result in a broken or scratched lens. The included case solves this problem and reliably protects the camera, but not everyone will use it.

photos of smartphones together for comparison

Let's look under the skirt up to the lid. The cover can be removed quite easily and is secured with latches. For build quality I give both phones 5 points. No creaks, backlashes, gaps - everything is very neat. Having removed the cover of the doogee, we will see a rather small battery, with a declared capacity of 2500 Mah. You can see 2 slots for SIM cards: standard and micro, as well as an expansion slot for micro SD memory cards. Under the camera we can see 2 LEDs for illuminating photos, videos, and also for use as a flashlight.

Thl hides under its cover a very modest battery with a capacity of only 1900 Mah, the same SIM card slots: standard and micro, and of course, memory expansion with micro SD cards. There is only 1 LED under the camera, but I won’t draw any conclusions just yet, the tests will show the real result.

Let's move on to the main section - using smartphones in real conditions, as well as tests. First of all, the impression of a smartphone is formed from the screen, so let's start with that. Doogee has a 5.5-inch display with a qHD resolution of 960 x 540 pixels. Many will say that for such a diagonal this is a small resolution, there will be a lot of grain, etc. But in reality, the screen surprised me: the pixels are not noticeable, the graininess is not large, and thanks to the IPS OGS matrix with a backing, the screen looks great! Viewing angles are excellent, colors are transmitted without distortion when changing the angle of inclination, the picture looks very rich. The brightness reserve is very large, but I would like to reduce the minimum brightness a little. On the street the picture does not fade. I give the screen 4 points only for its non-HD resolution.

Viewing Angles

Thl T6 Pro, with a smaller screen size, has a higher screen resolution - HD 1280 x 720 pixels. The matrix is ​​also made using IPS technology, but the screen is not OGS. Brightness is high, the minimum threshold is comfortable for night reading. Overall the screen looks great, for which it gets 5 points.

However, if you put both phones side by side, you won't notice much of a difference. Both screens perform very well. The only difference is the color rendering: in Doogee it is warmer, in Thl it is neutral. In the following photos you can compare the screens with each other.

Let's move on to performance. Here the advantage is entirely on the side of the Thl T6 Pro; it is worth noting that this is generally one of the most affordable 8-core processors. In the Antutu benchmark it shows amazing results for its price category! For performance 4 points (2 GB of RAM is not enough for complete happiness)

Additional information from Antutu

Doogee cannot boast of such impressive results, but its performance is sufficient for most modern tasks, viewing high-definition video content, comfortable surfing and games, including modern 3D games (the latest games may require medium or minimum graphics settings). Asphalt 8 - flew without problems on standard graphics settings. 3 points for performance.

Additional information from Antutu

To complete the picture, I’ll also post the results of the velamo benchmark. Here the performance difference is not so noticeable.

Both smartphones pleased us with a responsive 5-touch touchpad. The sound of the main speaker is also at the same level - clear and loud, without wheezing at maximum volume. Since they are equally good at this, I won’t give ratings. But where they differ is the launcher and other goodies. Thl has Android 4.4.2 installed with an almost standard set of gaps, there is no Chinese stuff, the only interesting thing is the multitasking window, when enabled we get an additional pop-up menu with some functions implemented in windowed mode (hello windows). 3 points is a good result.

But Doogee has seriously improved the standard Android 4.2.2. In addition to standard functions, the developers have added many original ones, for example, unlocking with a double tap, launching any assigned applications using a symbol drawn on the switched off screen. You can protect any folder, application, or even action with a password. The smartphone can be configured for one-handed use (the dial pad moves to the left or right). In addition, you can customize the pop-up menu by adding what you need to it. In general, they approached thoroughly. The only thing that spoils the picture a little is that all these additional functions are not translated and are displayed in English, while the standard Android functions are in Russian. Developers are constantly working on firmware and perhaps this will be fixed in the near future. For example, yesterday I received another firmware via wifi, promising to fix some bugs. 4 points (minus 1 point for undertranslation).

Screenshots with additional features described above

There is no Chinese here either, but some additional applications are installed that can be easily removed if desired. WiFi and GPS in the device work at the same level, I will characterize it as good. Now let's talk about the quality of communication, the quality of the conversational speaker - I liked the Doogee better, the speaker reproduces a more natural voice, the THL is like a barrel. I send 1 extra point to the DG 580. The microphones are good in both models, the interlocutor notes normal voice audibility.

Let's move on to the camera. We will compare the main camera. An 8 megapixel sensor is installed in both places. The cameras shoot at approximately the same quality; the pictures depend very much on the lighting. Focus drops around the edges, but overall the photo quality is good. Here are the pictures taken with the DG 580. Pictures without enhancements, taken in haste, without selecting the best ones. Weather: cloudy, snowing.

Here are more photos

And this is how the THL T6 pro shoots. The pictures were taken a few days before the snowfall. The weather is cloudy.

More photos

Some may think that Thl shoots a little better, but this is not the case. Upon closer examination of the photographs, absolutely identical flaws are visible, they just look more noticeable in snowy photos. For clarity, the following photos are for comparison in approximately equal conditions. (Doogee on the left, Thl on the right) View from the balcony

Artificial lighting in the apartment.

I give the cameras 3 points.

In complete darkness, both take pictures no matter, but Doogee has a more powerful flash. 2 LEDs versus 1 for Thl. In complete darkness, doogee takes the following photos:

But Thl can’t even focus in the dark, so the photo didn’t come out. I give THL 1 point for the flash, 2 points for the competitor (the LEDs are still not very bright).

Macro photography is amazing in both devices. Both text and pictures turn out very clear, focusing occurs from about 5 - 6 centimeters.

Macro photography examples

It was Dougie, and here is Thl:

But with the video, not everything is so clear. Here is a video recorded on a DG 580, Full HD resolution, 30 frames per second, cloudy, snowing:

Thl really upset me. When recording in full HD quality, the speed is only 15 frames per second.

For the video I give 1 THL point and 2 Doogee points.

The sound in headphones (not included) in smartphones is the same; it’s suitable for listening to music on the road. Of course, it’s a long way from HiFi, but with the help of a good player, such as poweramp, and an equalizer, you can achieve good results. I give both 3 points.

The last thing I would like to talk about, but far from least important, is the operating time on a single charge. Doogee has a larger battery - 2500 Mah, but also a larger screen size, as well as a less energy efficient processor, so not everything is as clear as it might seem at first glance. After conducting tests with the Antutu battery tester benchmark, I got these results.

Yes, a miracle did not happen and the larger battery showed the best result. However, the result is not much different. True, this is only based on synthetic tests. In reality, with active use, the Doogee DG580 lasts for a day, with about 30% remaining in the evening. In average use mode it lasts for 2 days. But the Thl T6 Pro in active mode does not last until the evening; in medium use mode it can last a day. For such a weak result, the smartphone gets a score, and its competitor gets 3 points.

Well, that's basically all. Instead of conclusions, let's compare the result. I organized all the data and put it into a table.

Thank you for attention! Respect, if you were able to master the entire text - I tried to shorten the review as much as possible and indicate only the necessary and important information. In the comments, ask your questions regarding smartphones, and also leave your wishes. I would also like to hear your opinion about the review format. Did you like this format or is it better to write as before? Let me remind you about smartphones (I indicated at the very beginning of the review): THL T6 pro was purchased at the coolicool store with my own money, Doogee DG 580 was provided for review free of charge. I am in no way promoting a purchase in any store, I have only provided you with information that you are free to dispose of as you wish.

Appearance

T6 Pro has a classic rectangular shape, strongly rounded at the edges. At the top of the screen there is a camera, earpiece and sensors; at the bottom there are touch buttons for “home”, “step back” and “menu”.

The power off and lock button is located on the right side of the device, just above are the volume buttons. The location of the buttons is quite convenient and familiar - you won’t have to adapt to something fundamentally new. On the top edge of the device there is a 3.5 jack for a wired headset and headphones, on the bottom there is a USB port.

On the left side there is a retractable slot for SIM cards and memory cards. The microSD slot is combined with the second SIM card slot. The “pallet” is made of metal and looks quite reliable.

On the back side there is the main camera and multimedia speaker. The body material is completely made of plastic. The quality of the plastic is quite difficult to praise; for example, the back panel of the device bends quite a lot under pressure. On the other hand, the rest of the device is assembled tightly, there is no play or creaking.

Supported by all modern smartphones and many mobile phones. Bluetooth v4.0 Bluetooth is a universal wireless interface for exchanging data between various types of devices at close range. Can be used for file transfer, audio streaming, network connection, printing and other purposes. The newer the version, the greater the speed and number of supported profiles. Navigation GPS, A-GPS, GLONASS For at least 10 years, smartphones have supported the geolocation function using data from satellite navigation systems. At the moment, these are the American-developed GPS, the Russian GLONASS, the Chinese BeiDou and the European GALILEO. As a rule, smartphones support the first two and optionally the rest. NFC No The built-in NFC module of a smartphone is mainly used for contactless payment in applications like Google Pay and Samsung Pay. Can also be used to read data from contactless cards, transfer files, etc. Read more here. Infrared port No Some smartphones have a built-in IR port. In the past, it was used to synchronize data both between two mobile phones and between a phone and a PC. However, now, due to its low speed, the infrared port is used mainly to control external devices in remote control mode. FM radio No Built-in radio receiver that allows you to listen to radio stations operating in the FM range. In most cases, it only works when headphones are connected, since the wire is used as a communication antenna. However, there are devices with a built-in antenna. 3.5 mm audio No Standard audio jack for connecting wired headsets and headphones.

Ergonomics

When you take the device out of the package, it seems incredibly heavy and it’s hard to believe that you can get used to its weight. It's safe to say that the T6 Pro is hardly intended for fragile girls. Moreover, the weight cannot be called abnormally large; the problem is rather in the non-standard balancing of the device. When you hold the phone in your hand, you get the feeling that the center of gravity of the device is more towards the display than towards the back panel. Because of this, the phone slips in the palm and you have to squeeze it a little harder than usual. Another extremely inconvenient point is the lack of backlighting of the on-screen buttons; in the dark you have to rely on memory. Of course, this is not a problem if you have gotten used to the device, but at the beginning of use it causes quite a lot of inconvenience.

Screen DOOGEE T6 PRO

The screen diagonal is 5.5 inches, the resolution is 1280x720 with a pixel density of 267 per inch. The image here is clear, the display displays all the details with good accuracy, but, as we have already said, upon close examination you can see the pixels. This is not bad, but not entirely good either, but this happens often in phones of this class.

DOOGEE T6 PRO display has excellent viewing angles, but there are complaints about contrast. There is a strong fading of white here, due to which the picture lacks bright colors. But, by the way, such a defect is not so bad. A picture with natural shades that is pleasing to the eye appears. But there is a good supply of brightness; in sunlight you can enjoy watching videos.

The sensor responds to 5 simultaneous touches, which is very good for a smartphone of this class. The kit does not include a protective film, so you will have to guess which one to buy.

Display

The phone is equipped with a bright IPS display with a resolution of 1280×720. At large tilt angles, the screen begins to barely noticeably turn blue, and there is almost no image distortion. The brightness of the Doogee T6 Pro screen can be compared to a low-power flashlight; “back to back” it is enough to read the screen relatively comfortably on a clear sunny day.

Even with the minimum brightness setting, the backlight hurts the eyes somewhat in low-light conditions. Fortunately, this problem can be easily solved by installing special applications.

Technological characteristics

Let's look at the main technological characteristics of the Doogee t6 pro smartphone

Iron

The MT6753 with the Mali-T720 graphics accelerator can hardly be called a very powerful solution, however, such hardware is quite enough to run most modern games. The device's response to commands is fast; no brakes or glitches were found during testing.

Software

T6 Pro runs Android 6.0 OS with a minimum of add-ons and add-ons. The system is intuitive and can be easily configured according to the user's wishes. When you first launch, some “blurring” of the desktop icons may be noticeable - the problem can be easily solved by installing any third-party launcher.

When you click on the “ScreenRecord” button in the control panel, everything that happens on the screen will begin recording into a separate video file.

The phone supports HotKnot, which allows you to transfer data by simply touching the display to the display of another compatible phone.

You can also configure additional gestures that help you work with the system, as well as special gestures for unlocking the device.

If you activate Float gesture in the settings, a translucent gray dot will be displayed on top of all windows; clicking on it will open a special rotating menu:

• The Float Music and Float Video buttons open a small audio or video player that will “float” in a window on top of other running programs.
• Clean Task clears RAM of running applications.
• Reading mode Read Mode prevents the screen from turning off automatically.
• Game Mode locks the touch keys at the bottom of the display to prevent you from accidentally touching them while playing.
• Lock Screen – lock the display.
• Gesture Recognize - launches the application based on the drawn symbol

Most mobile devices have built-in Flash memory, which is used as a storage for system data, the operating system, as well as user data - photos, videos, recordings and much more.

Operating system

A mobile operating system (OS) is pre-installed software with a well-thought-out interface for user control of device functions.

Battery

To operate autonomously, a mobile device requires a battery that powers all its components.

Screen

The screen (display) is the main element for displaying graphic information.

Main camera

The main camera, usually built into the rear of the device, is designed for creating photo and video content.

Front-camera

The front camera of a mobile device (selfie camera, rear camera) is a camera on the front part, which is usually used for video communication, recognition of gestures or faces, and selfie photographs.

Memory card

A memory card (flash card) is an external data storage device that is used in many devices to increase memory capacity.

SIM card

Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) used in mobile devices to identify subscribers in cellular networks.

Mobile networks

This is a system in which communication and data transfer is carried out between subscribers, the location of one or more of which changes. This section lists the supported mobile communication standards and frequencies.

Mobile network data standards

What data transfer standards in cellular networks are supported by the device, as well as their speed.

WiFi

Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) is a technology for wireless data transmission over a local network among devices based on IEEE 802.11 standards.

Bluetooth

Bluetooth (BT, bluetooth (z), “blue tooth”) is a short-range wireless network (up to 10, sometimes 100 meters) operating on radio waves to transmit voice and data between devices.

Sensors

Modern devices have many sensors that help in measurements, trigger functions, and make using the device more pleasant.

Audio

Audio - characteristics and capabilities of a mobile device in terms of sound.

Radio

The radio in a mobile device can be built-in by the manufacturer (catch local radio channels, no internet required, often works only with headphones (as an antenna), but not always) or installed as an online application (requires internet, but more channels and often better quality) .

Navigation and location

The location is determined by satellite navigation systems that track the device's autonomous geospatial location at multiple points. The most common satellite navigation systems are GPS, GLONASS, and the Chinese BeiDou.

USB connector

USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a serial interface for connecting peripherals to computers, smartphones, laptops and much more. The interface allows you to exchange data and power a peripheral device with energy, as well as connect several peripheral devices to one USB connector at once.

Headphone jack

A TRS headphone jack (or jack) is a common standard of connectors used for transmitting audio signals. By diameter there are jack (6.5 mm), mini-jack (3.5 mm) and micro-jack (2.5 mm). In mobile devices, the 3.5mm jack was considered the most popular and widespread, but recently they began to be removed, leaving only USB connectors, through which headphones are connected with a corresponding plug or using adapters.

Connection and synchronization

Options for synchronizing your mobile device and connecting it to other devices.

Browser

A browser is a browser program for viewing sites and their content on the Internet. Through the browser, you can open websites, search for information, download necessary files, watch streaming videos, play browser games, etc.

Audio file formats/codecs

Mobile devices support many audio file formats, as well as codecs for playing them.

Video file formats/codecs

Video file formats that the device supports and is capable of decoding and playing.

Connection

The gadget is equipped with a fairly good telephone module, the interlocutor can be heard clearly and loudly, and there is almost no distortion. The GPS is quite fast; there were no problems with navigation during testing.

The speaker of the device is loud, but listening to music on it is not very possible: high frequencies are too high, and low frequencies are practically absent. If you want to get normal sound from a movie, game or music, you should use headphones.

Battery

The 6250 mAh battery is perhaps one of the main, if not the most important, advantage of this device. Thanks to economical hardware, charge consumption is really low, even at maximum loads. For example, one level of playing Dead Effect 2 at graphics settings close to maximum drained the battery by only 6%. A couple of hours of walking around in Pokemon Go will drain the battery by about 25%. The battery reserve is consistently enough for at least two days of active use, or for a day, but at maximum load.

In the synthetic Geekbench 3 test, the phone lasted almost 13 hours, although there are results up to 15, probably the difference is in the “training” of the battery.

Doogee T6 review

Externally, the smartphone with a powerful T6 battery does not stand out from the general line of the manufacturer, released in 2020. The designers tried to ensure that the body of the new product had an ergonomic design - they rounded its corners and made the back cover somewhat cut off towards the side edges. It is worth noting that the thickness of the new smartphone is only 10.2 mm, which is very good for a device with a 6250 mAh battery.

Also, if we talk about appearance, one cannot fail to note the V-shaped edges, which also affect the ergonomics of the model. Thanks to this seemingly insignificant introduction, the developers managed to increase the comfort of using the device. It fits very well in the hand and does not slip out when working with the touch screen.

Camera

The T6 Pro has a SONY IMX214 13MP camera. In low light the camera makes a lot of noise, but using a special night mode and a little patience you can sometimes catch good shots. During the day, the shooting quality is much better: good color rendition, focus is achieved almost instantly.

Example of evening shooting:

Standard filters:

I was pleasantly surprised by the macro photography; the photos turned out quite clear, with good color rendition:

The 8MP front camera may also be a nice addition for some.

Examples of shots taken from the front camera:

Doogee T6 specifications

The new product will receive a powerful 4-core MT6735P processor with a clock frequency of 1 GHz and 2 GB of RAM. Of course, these indicators are very far from the characteristics of the flagships of more well-known manufacturers, but one thing is for sure - several tabs in the browser or a couple of running applications will not make the smartphone slow down.

For photography lovers, the T6 also has a pleasant surprise in store - its main camera will have 8 megapixels. But selfie lovers, of course, will not have a very sweet time, because the front lens will only have 2 megapixels, which is quite small for high-quality photography.

Separately, it is worth dwelling on the battery. The manufacturing company did not limit itself to just a large capacity of 6250 mAh. The device has the PumpExpress function from MediaTek, which will speed up the charging process and make it comparable to conventional batteries. It would seem that what else could be thought of, but the developers of Arc didn’t stop here either. According to them, the T6 will be able to charge other smartphones from its own battery. This will be useful for those who are constantly on the move.
