The Doogee S200 is a heavyweight rugged phone - and I mean heavyweight. I weighed this beast at 369g, and it feels it in the hand. Bold, chunky, and the absolute opposite of unassuming as a phone can be. But then, that’s what you want from a ruggedized phone. You want it to feel like it can take a battering, survive a long drop.

On that score, the S200 certainly looks and feels the part. How does it measure up in terms of robustness and durability against the best rugged phones my team and I regularly review? I put it to the test.

Doogee S200: Specifications

Doogee S200: Design

There’s something delightfully futuristic about the design of the Doogee S200, with its hard lines and poker-straight cutaway edges. Like it’s been built by robots. Specifically, those created by Skynet.

The front screen is protected by the ubiquitous Corning Gorilla Glass - not the hardiest of all screens, but acceptable at this price. A 20MP front camera is centrally placed at the top of the display. Where the buttons and ports rest along the side, we have screwed-in alloy strips to offer extra protection to these moving (or rather, moveable) parts and resist bending under pressure. I quite like the feel of these buttons - they’re almost flush against the phone, thick in appearance, but with a soft, springy feel when depressed - so you know your press has been registered, even without looking. Better still, on the left side, beneath the dual SIM card port is a custom button, which can be personalized for three selected quick actions for one click, double-click, and long press. At the bottom, you’ll find the charging port, suitably covered with a rubber gasket to guard against dust and leaks.

Flip over the phone and the rear is equally aggressive in design. with the speaker and microphone shielded by aerospace-grade alloy casing cut with what look like exhaust ports of the sort you might find on a mobile workstation or gaming PC. Dominating this space is the 1.32in circular AMOLED screen. And it’s one of the best features of the phone. Bright and vivid, this display can be used as a clock-face, act as a compass, and more. Flanking this screen are three cameras and an infra-red flash lamp.

So, we know the S200 feels heavy in the hand, and with dimensions of 179.5 x 82.5 x 16mm (7.07 x 3.25 x 0.63in), you’re going to need large hands to fully wrap around the device. I have considerably average-sized hands, and found the most comfortable holding position was to have the phone laying flat against my fingers, with the tips peeking around the side. This isn’t the most secure hold, of course, but otherwise operating the S200 worked well in this position.

In terms of protection, the Doogee S200 is rated for IP68, IP69K, and MIL-STD 810. This is pretty standard for most of the rugged phones we’ve tested here, making it dust-proof, waterproof, and drop-proof.

Doogee S200: Performance

Running on Android 14, I found performance to be excellent. I’m always a bit wary of rugged phones, which can sometimes focus more on the hardware than the software. It’s all very well being able to hurl the phone at a brick wall or see it run over by a steamroller, but if operation is sluggish, it’s enough to make you want to cut it up with a chainsaw.

Thankfully, those issues aren’t apparent in the Doogee S200. Performance is smooth, apps open quickly, and I experienced no problems in everyday operation. But then, I expected good results here, since the phone is specced with a Mediatek Dimensity 7050 processor and 32GB RAM (my review unit came with the maximum 32GB, although 12GB RAM is the base amount - still more than enough to power most apps and general use).

The 6.72in screen here is also very nice to use. Boasting a 1080x2400 resolution and 1400:1 contrast ratio that is excellent in dark environments and outdoors in direct sunlight. It even features a 120Hz refresh rate, making it suitable for on-the-go gaming. There’s also a Game Mode, which sounds good, but does little beyond keeping your games in a library and turning off notifications.

In any case, I downloaded a handful of games to see if the phone could keep up when reaction time is a factor. Call of Duty Mobile played flawlessly here, as did Mario Kart Tour. These more or less mirrored tests on a Google Pixel 5. However, during Need for Speed: No Limits there were occasional frame-rate drops and lagging when the screen became busy or animations were too fast. Still, the high refresh rate is a nice extra where available to have, and much higher than you’ll find on most traditional phones. Just set realistic expectations here - you do not have a rugged Steam Deck in your hands.

Finally, the S200 sports a 10100 mAh battery. Not the biggest battery I’ve seen in a phone like this, and I would’ve liked to see wireless charging to round-out the package. But it’s good for general use, especially when combined with the 33W fast-charging.

Doogee S200: In use

As a rugged phone, the Doogee S200 performs exactly as you’d expect. I’ve hurled it down stairs and out of first-floor windows and drowned it in the bath, and it’s still chugging along. It’s rated to a 1.8m drop, which isn’t particularly high but offers some protection should it slip from a gloved hand. I tested out a drop at this height, and the phone survived as expected. I chanced my arm, tossing it higher, the phone falling further. There were no visible signs of wear, but I probably wouldn’t want to do this too often. The Doogee S200 feels rugged only up to a point. A rowdy brawler, but not a tank.

As a smartphone, it performs well and without issue. Connectivity, which includes Wi-Fi 6 and NFC, is also welcome. Out of the box, the phone is loaded with a range of apps and extras designed for on-site work. This includes Glove Mode, located in Settings, and the Toolbag App. It's here where you can access a range of essential worksite tools, such as compass, ruler, and digital spirit level. I particularly like this, as it means the phone is ready for the jobsite straight away, no messing about.

I quite enjoyed the addition of the rear circular subscreen. Though not a game-changer by any means, I appreciated the ability to glance at the clock regardless of which way I was holding the S200. Alongside the time, it felt very smooth swiping through the other options on the subscreen, such as music player controls and calendar. Disappointingly, as far as I could tell, there’s no way to customize which apps are displayed here. Through the MiniScreen Subscreen Settings, you’re free to set a range of clock faces - I went for analogue in this sea of digital - or make your own. It’s basic, but fun. You can also change how to wake the miniscreen.

I found the 100MP camera is nice - not the highest megapixel camera around, but distinctly higher than many devices we’ve tested from rivals like Oukitel, where 64MP is more common. Elsewhere, the night vision camera proved exceptional and, for many workers, I can see this becoming a go-to mid-range rugged phone for this feature alone. Gaming and media playback was good, with colors crisp and vivid on the fair-sized screen. However, I did find the speakers only adequate - these are the typical tinny phone speakers, the smartphone standard, with very little bass. Overall, in use, the Doogee S200 delivered exactly the sort of experience I’d expect from a phone of this price and in this category.

Doogee S200: Final verdict

The Doogee S200 is, very literally, a solid smartphone, built for rugged use. True, the specs aren’t the toughest and hardiest out there - and for genuinely hostile environments, I’d think twice about taking it on the job. However, for general use on worksites, or hiking and camping, the S200 is more than robust enough. Yes, it’s big and heavy - that’s part of its charm, alongside the cyber-futuristic mecha-style design, its sliced corners and exposed rivets on the side. If you want a phone that’s durable, built to go up against the elements, and still looks great doing it, there’s a lot to recommend here.

These days, my life is full of technology. Depending on the trip, I have my iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad Mini, MacBook Pro, my wife's iPhone, Kindle, kids' tablets, and a smart power station or two. That's a lot of internet-connected gear when on the go. Not only is it annoying to have to put in a new password for whatever location you are at, but it's also incredibly insecure.

Over the last few years, I have stopped connecting to public Wi-Fi, or Wi-Fi, which is not secure altogether. I'll frequently tether to my iPhone if I am just on one device. But, when I start pulling out multiple devices or if my iPhone cell service isn't excellent (I'm looking at you, Verizon), I look for a strong and probably ok public Wi-Fi and connect to it, but not with my devices, with my portable router. I do this, plus a VPN to help ensure that my information stays my information, and this little travel router is how I do it.

Can this tiny travel router compare with the best Wi-Fi routers out there? I put the pocket-sized TP-Link TL-WR1502X Wi-Fi 6 Travel Router to the test.

TP-Link Wi-Fi 6 Travel Router: Price and Availability

The TP-Link Wi-Fi 6 Travel router is available all over the place. You can find it on the TP-Links website, Amazon, or other retailers. When writing this sentence, the price is $60 for a single unit.

TP-Link Wi-Fi 6 Travel Router: Unboxing and First Impressions

When I opened the box for this router, I immediately noticed how simple everything was. This router seemed too small and too basic-looking to be able to do everything that it was doing. It's lightweight, with a sleek and durable build. The router, a power adapter, a USB-C cable, a quick start guide, and a simple ethernet cable came in the box.

The compact design is easy enough to tuck in any bag, pocket, or jacket. The unit as a whole can fit in the palm of my hand. Right now, I carry it with me daily in my backpack. And I'm particular about what I am willing to put in my backpack, so that's a big deal for me to tuck it away. I love the matte black finish and the built-in ventilation, as it helps keep the device from overheating.

Lastly, the port offering is impressive for a small unit, and the ports are placed great on the device, making it easy to use and work with.

TP-Link Wi-Fi 6 Travel Router: Design and Build Quality

As I have mentioned, this device is incredibly portable. Still, it's also quite sturdy, making it a great travel companion because I don't have to worry about it breaking on me. I've had this in my everyday carry backpack that goes everywhere with me for the last few months, and I have not had any issues with this getting damaged or slowing down. It keeps working and working great every time.

TP-Link Wi-Fi 6 Travel Router: In use

So far, I have gotten a lot of use out of this little travel router. I've had it with me for a few months now and am thrilled to have it. The older I get, and as time goes on, the more and more paranoid I get about my physical and digital security. In the digital world, one of the things I have sworn not to do anymore is to connect to networks that I do not know or do not manage myself. However, sometimes that is the only option. That's where my travel router comes into play for one of the many use cases I have it for. I can quickly flip a switch and connect to that coffee shop, VRBO, airport, or even airplane Wi-Fi with my router, throw a VPN on, and then connect with my devices. My work and sensitive information, like bank cards and sensitive documents, are accessible through my Macbook. It would be wild for me not to protect it.

Another way that I have been using my travel router is to connect non-apple devices to my iPhone hotspot or direct USB tether. Most of what I have with me on any given day is Apple; however, for the times that I am testing a different laptop, if I have the Nintendo Switch with me, a portable projector if the kids have a gadget or something like that, this makes it super easy to have specific travel Wi-Fi saved on their devices that they can connect to that isn't just always my phone.

I have noticed smooth and fast connections when using the Wi-Fi, even from a decent distance away. For example, we stayed at a VRBO rental a few weeks back. I did not want to connect to the provided Wi-Fi, so I connected the ethernet cables to my TP-Link Travel router and ran that as a main router for a week. It worked great across the entire home, with all my devices connected. It handled (up to) five iPhones, two MacBooks, eight iPads, two Apple Watches, and a sound machine/night light, all without skipping a beat.

The only gripe I have with this router is that it takes a minute to boot up, so if I am in a hurry, it can be frustrating to wait for it to boot up and get working. However, if that's my only frustration, that makes for a pretty incredible device.

TP-Link Wi-Fi 6 Travel Router: Final verdict

The TP-Link AX1500 Wi-Fi 6 Travel RoutWi-Filivers top-tier performance in a travel-friendly package. With its fast speeds, modern security, and versatile features like VPN and USB tethering, it's a must-have for anyone needing reliable internet access wherever they go. While it's priced slightly higher than some competitors, its advanced functionality justifies the investment for frequent travelers or remote workers.

Back in July 2023, I reviewed the Oakywood Custom Standing Desk. Almost a year and a half later, Oakywood released the upgraded version. They call this the Oakywood Standing Desk Pro. Its groundbreaking custom designing tool is now a staple in its product line, and the company has gone about upgrading a few areas of the aforementioned Oakywood Custom Standing Desk to make it an even better desk - believe it or not.

But before I delve into that, it's worth noting that as the desire and demand for ergonomic solutions in professional workspaces and unique home offices continue to increase, an issue in sizing continues to arise. Run-of-the-mill sizing doesn't always work for those unique basements, side rooms, corners of bedrooms, and dedicated home offices. They don't even always fit in professional offices.

So, Oakywood set out to solve that issue by using their custom sizing. They have this Standing Desk Pro if you need a "normal" to "large" desk. If you have a smaller space to fill, they have the Standing Desk Pro Mini. Both can be customized to fit your space and have the exact grommets, accessories, and colorways. There's something about getting to customize every aspect of your desk that is incredibly satisfying. All this customization comes at a price, but so does having a desk that doesn't fit - I'll let you decide which price you want to pay. Want to see how the new upgrade compares to the best standing desks I've reviewed? I put this one to the test.

Oakywood Standing Desk Pro: Price and Availability

The base configuration of the Oakywood Standing Desk Pro starts at $1,190 and can climb quickly when you kit it out with accessories and sizing. If I max out the pricing, I can get the Oakywood Standing Desk Pro up to $3,390 without accessories. Speaking of accessories, Oakywood sells great desk shelves, MagSafe stands, cable management, laptop stands, and desk mats.

Oakywood can ship globally, but remember that if you are customizing a desk, they need time to rally to build and custom-cut your desk and then ship it out. Those lead times can be up to 9 weeks, but customizing a hunk of beautiful walnut into a desk takes time to get it right. You can run to Target or shop on Amazon for a cheap desk or a desk now.

Another thing that is super impressive and shows the kind of company that Oakywood is is that they promote pricing transparency. They have a diagram that showcases just where your dollar spent with them goes, making you feel a bit better knowing that your money is going to a good place.

Oakywood Standing Desk Pro: Unboxing and First Impressions

Most of the time, my first impressions of a desk start when I get it and frequently as soon as I unbox it. However, based on the online editor tools, I can state my first impressions of this desk. I could not wait to get my hands on my custom desk, especially after trying the newer grommet options and choosing a solid walnut desk with complementing accessories.

The packaging was compact and well-organized, making it incredibly easy to unpack. This desk came in a box that was screwed shut and not just taped shut, which I appreciated knowing that it helped protect my custom desk. The boxes contained the desktop, adjustable steel frame legs, a control panel, assembly tools, and the cables needed.

Right away, I loved the premium finish on the wood, the robust build quality, and how easy this was to build. It took only minutes, unlike most desks, which take significantly longer.

Oakywood Standing Desk Pro: Design and Build Quality

I chose a Solid Walnut desk, though they also have solid oak, oak and walnut veneer, and black-stained oak. If you're interested in the veneer tabletops, they are finished with eco-friendly oil wax and are much lighter and cheaper than the solid wood variants.

All around, the desk is minimal, and I love that. It's a beautiful art piece in and of itself. It's a finely crafted piece of wood that looks good on its own, not to mention once it's staged with other beautiful gear.

The desk can raise and lower quickly and quietly, making it perfect for pretty much any space; no worries about whether it will be too loud.

Oakywood Standing Desk Pro: In use

This desk was exactly what I was hoping it would be. It's clean, professional, sleek, works great, is high quality, and looks gorgeous. This quickly became my dedicated iPad desk, which I shared with another team member. However, without getting too specific on my use case, what matters is that this desk works wonderfully. The grommet built into the desk is great for hiding cables, whether you have a desk shelf or not. Without it, it's a great cable catch, too. With a desk shelf, it works excellent to route cables where they need to go (like in the back of a monitor.

The controller for raising and lowering the desk is pretty sleek. It's a handle and display in the same piece. Lift the little knob, and the desk goes up; push it down, and you guessed it, it goes down. Within the knob is a display that reads out the height as well. What's brilliant is that you can move to a saved preset with a double click.

I'm 6'2" and the other reviewer that tried this desk is about 6'3". The Oakywood Standing Desk Pro not only can reach our preferred standing height, but it's also still stable at that height, which is terrific.

Lastly, I threw this desk on casters, which I do for most of my desks. Caster wheels make for a super easy transition if (let's be honest... when) I decide to change something up. I can roll the desk away from the wall, make my adjustments, and then roll it back. Or, in the case of a multi-purpose room, if that room needs to be used for something other than an office, the desk can roll right out without any worries or damage.

Oakywood Standing Desk Pro: Final verdict

The Oakywood Standing Desk Pro combines aesthetics, sustainability, and ergonomic functionality, making it an excellent choice for modern workspaces. Although its premium pricing and custom order lead times may not appeal to everyone, it's a worthwhile option for those looking to make a long-term investment in their workspace.

Standing desks have bloomed and become ever-so-popular over the last few years. There are so many companies making them, so many differ

The Eureka Ergonomic Arc Standing Desk is an impressive blend of standout design and practicality. It's very action-movie-secondary-character-desk-esque looking. However, it also has features that make this big, bold desk even better. It has soft, closed drawers, power in the desktop, adjustable height, drawers, and unique legs that make it look like any of the best office desks we've seen for executives.

Further, as remote work becomes increasingly popular, it will redefine modern professional life, raising the demand for versatile, ergonomic, and stylish office furniture. A standout in this evolving landscape, the Eureka Ergonomic 63" Executive Standing Desk delivers an ideal combination of functionality and sophistication. With its striking walnut veneer finish, smooth motorized height adjustment, and thoughtful features like soft-close drawers and a freestanding desktop riser, this desk elevates your work-from-home experience. In short, this desk blends practicality with style for professionals who want a standout desk that helps them stay productive.

How does it compare to the best standing desks I've reviewed? I put this intriguing workspace furniture to the test.

Eureka Arc: Price and Availability

The Eureka Arc is priced at $2,499.99, though it's currently discounted to $1,699.99 and is available through Eureka Ergonomic's website. Delivery takes about 6-8 days on average, though this timeline and shipping cost can change based on where the desk is delivered. It's also worth noting that my Arc got delivered to me on a pallet. It's not a huge deal, but it's worth preparing for, especially if you need a place to unpack the pallet to carry the desk and boxes to where they need to go.

Eureka Arc: Unboxing and First Impressions

As mentioned above, the Arc comes in two packages within a wooden crate that helps protect the packaging overall. I was shocked to see this as I have reviewed a lot of desks and fancy desks, and I had yet to see this level of care in packaging until this desk. All the parts were well protected within the box and the crate. Each piece has foam layers to help the fragments within each box not rub against one another and get damaged or damaged from any damage on the boxes.

Once unboxed, building the desk was pretty simple. Most pieces were pre-assembled, at least partially, so building took little time, and it could have been easier.

The desk itself has a very mid-century modern design. Think the far-flung futurism of Dune meets professional ergonomics. The legs are near trapezoid-shaped, and the desk is thick with built-in drawers, power, and a walnut veneer. All in all, this desk is hefty. It's solid and feels like it will last a lifetime. One fascinating look and the right call is that the trapezoidal legs stay on the ground when the desktop rises. I'm still determining what I expected, but seeing it the first couple of times is super interesting.

Eureka Arc: Design and Build Quality

The Eureka Ergonomic Arc Standing Deks has a walnut veneer finish and a design that makes it stand out among the plethora of desks I have reviewed. With their extra design, the desk legs provide further stability and an eye-catching design. The built-in drawers also feature soft close gliders, adding to the premium feel. One thing that I wish this desk had, that I recently experienced for the first time with the SecretLab Magnus Pro Standing desk, is power in the leg column so that then you can have even cleaner cable management, with no dangling cables to plug in power (and maybe even ethernet).

Eureka Arc: In use

My team and I have used this desk in our desk rotation for the last few months. In fact, one of my team members has claimed this as his favorite desk, thanks to the Dune-esque styling. So far, this desk has had very smooth height adjustments, allowing for quick transitions from standing to sitting and back up to standing, and even at my standing height (I'm 6'2" tall), I don't notice any wobble.

For the setup we have on this desk, we only have one monitor, though if you wanted to, you could easily add a couple of monitors, which is great for versatility and changing desk setups.

Another thing that we have grown to appreciate is the built-in power supply on top of the desk. You could use this to power things on your desk, such as the monitor. However, I prefer this for the "oh I need to charge this thing" or other one-offs or "non-permenant" items to help the desk appear generally tidy.

All around, this desk has been excellent. It's not for everyone. However, it is a wonderful desk for most people. It only comes down to style and whether you like bold design choices. If you do, this desk is an expensive and beautiful addition to any workspace that should last for years.

Eureka Arc: Final verdict

The Eureka Ergonomic 63" Executive Standing Desk offers a premium experience for professionals who value aesthetics and functionality. Its sturdy build, smooth motorized adjustments, and luxurious finish make it a standout option in the high-end desk market. While the price and minor design flaws might deter some, this desk delivers exceptional value for those willing to invest in quality.

The Free Plan provides limited optimizations, making it ideal for small personal websites or those curious about the service. It includes basic caching and optimization but doesn't offer advanced features like CDN integration or priority support.

The Essential Plan, at $19/month, targets small businesses. It offers more advanced features such as image optimization and basic CDN, giving a noticeable performance boost for moderately trafficked sites.

For larger organizations, the Growth Plan is available at $69/month. It includes an expanded CDN, extra optimization tools, and premium support options, making it suitable for websites with significant traffic that need strong performance enhancements.

NitroPack: Features

NitroPack delivers a powerful set of features designed to boost site performance. With tools for caching and image optimization, everything works together to create a smooth user experience.

Caching

At the core of NitroPack's capabilities is its advanced caching system. By saving static versions of your web pages, it lessens server load and speeds up delivery to users. Features like cache warmup preload pages based on expected traffic, ensuring visitors always enjoy a fast-loading site. This technology is essential for keeping up performance, especially during busy times or promotions.

CSS Optimization

NitroPack is great at managing CSS, particularly with its critical CSS feature. This tool identifies the necessary CSS to quickly display the visible part of the webpage while deferring non-essential CSS for later. This improves loading times and user experience. The automated process removes the need for manual CSS adjustments, making life easier for website admins.

JavaScript Optimization

NitroPack also excels in JavaScript optimization. By deferring scripts and managing their execution, it prevents slowdowns that can affect loading times. NitroPack's unique resource loader ensures that JavaScript files load in the best order, improving both perceived and actual site speed.

Image Optimization

Images can significantly impact a webpage's loading time, which is why NitroPack's image optimization toolkit is so valuable. The platform automatically compresses and resizes images, converting them to modern formats like WebP for faster loading. Its adaptive sizing feature optimizes images based on the user's device, ensuring visuals remain sharp without slowing down the site.

CDN Integration

NitroPack comes with a strong Content Delivery Network (CDN) that has over 70 global endpoints, ensuring your content loads quickly no matter where your audience is. When combined with Gzip/Brotli compression, this integration greatly enhances site load times, making it a vital part of NitroPack's offering.

NitroPack: Setup

Setting up NitroPack is refreshingly straightforward, living up to its promise of being user-friendly. Even for first-time users, the process is seamless, with a guided setup that gets your site optimized in minutes.

Upon installation, NitroPack connects to your site through a simple plugin activation. The interface is clean and intuitive, with a dashboard that provides easy access to all features.

The tool's default configuration is robust enough for immediate performance improvements, while more technically inclined users can fine-tune settings to align with specific goals.

For those new to site optimization, NitroPack offers a wealth of resources, including comprehensive guides and tutorials. These resources are invaluable, providing step-by-step instructions and tips on maximizing the platform's potential. Furthermore, the community forums are active, offering additional support and allowing users to share insights and solutions.

While the initial setup is quick, users should allow some time for the optimization processes to run through the site, especially on larger sites. This thorough approach ensures that every page is optimized for peak performance. Overall, NitroPack's setup process is designed to eliminate complexity, empowering users to achieve rapid improvements without a steep learning curve.

NitroPack: Customer support

NitroPack's customer support receives mixed reviews. The quality of help varies and seems to depend on the pricing tier chosen. Higher-tier plans usually provide more responsive and personalized support, which is crucial for businesses that rely on web performance.

Support options include email, live chat, and a detailed knowledge base. Email support is generally quick, but there are times when responses are delayed, which can be frustrating for users with urgent issues. Live chat offers faster resolutions when available, but it's mainly accessible to those on higher pricing plans.

The knowledge base is extensive, featuring articles, tutorials, and FAQs on a wide range of topics. It serves as a useful self-service resource for users to troubleshoot common problems and learn about NitroPack's features. However, for more complex issues, users may still need direct support.

Some users have pointed out limitations, especially with technical questions or during busy times. Overall, the support system at NitroPack could use improvement, particularly given the importance of dependable help for web performance tools.

NitroPack: Final verdict

NitroPack is a powerful tool for anyone looking to boost their website's speed and performance. Its wide range of features and user-friendly design make it appealing for digital marketers, e-commerce businesses, and WordPress site owners.

The platform effectively improves site speed, which benefits both SEO and user experience. However, potential users should keep in mind the costs involved and determine if it fits within their budget and performance goals.

For those who prefer a hands-off approach to website optimization, NitroPack provides an effective solution. While it might not be ideal for smaller sites with limited budgets, businesses that depend on strong web performance and have the means to invest will likely find NitroPack to be a valuable asset.
