Frameless smartphones are the trend of this year. Following Xiaomi, each manufacturer tried to distinguish itself with the concept of its own device with the front side occupied as much as possible by the screen.
The most interesting among all for the Russian buyer were the frameless smartphones Bluboo and Doogee. Both have an attractive price, cool appearance and advanced hardware. But if the second one is already known, then the Blueboo smartphone is still a dark horse.
Which frameless smartphone to choose, Bluboo S1 or Doogee MIX?
Specifications
First, let's compare the specifications of the devices. Although they are similar, everything is not so clear, even at first glance.

Appearance
This is the most important difference. Doogee Mix is built around a stylish metal frame.
The Bluboo S1, on the other hand, is made of glass and uses reinforced fiberglass for strength.
Display
Both bezel-less smartphones use the same form factor. And the most popular display size today is 5.5 inches.
However, Doogee MIX is equipped with a screen with a resolution of 1280 x 720. With such a resolution, the AMOLED matrix becomes a disadvantage: the PenTile becomes noticeable.
The Bluboo smartphone is equipped with a higher quality FullHD display. In addition, the panel used is produced by the Japanese factory Sharp, a trendsetter in high-quality displays.
Performance
As for performance, everything is simple: both smartphones are powered by the Helio P25 single-chip platform. Each comes with 4GB of RAM, but the Doogee Mix has a 6GB option. Everything else is identical.
Autonomy
There's a downside to the Blueboo S1's high-quality display. Both smartphones are equipped with batteries of similar sizes. The Blueboo screen consumes more power than the Doogee MIX.
Therefore, the Doogee smartphone works almost 20% longer than its analogue.
operating system
Both smartphones run the latest version of Android 7.0. There are no proprietary add-ons - the engineers made the right bet on the AOSP assembly of the system.
Both Doogee and Bluboo have an extensive team, so Russification is present. And she's fine.
Camera
Another difference between smartphones is their cameras.
Bluboo S1 is equipped with an advanced dual main camera module. It includes a 13-megapixel Sony with interpolation up to 16 megapixels and a 3-megapixel module with a wide-angle lens. The front camera is represented by a 5 megapixel module.
Doogee Mix works with a dual 16+ 8 MP module, and the front camera is the same 5 MP.
The main difference is not in megapixels. Doogee uses a second camera for exposure metering. Blueboo is equipped with a more advanced system that replaces optical zoom.
conclusions
Both smartphones are very good: modern design, cool performance and a fashionable frameless display. Doogee Mix is better in some ways, especially if you need 6 GB of RAM.
Blueboo is better in some ways - the stylish glass case gives it additional protection and a unique appearance.
