Doogee is reportedly preparing two new rugged phones to expand the Fire 5 lineup: the Fire 5 Ultra and Fire 5 Pro. Both models stick to the brand’s tough-as-nails formula with reinforced builds and enormous 13,000 mAh batteries, while the Ultra steps things up with brighter tools for the outdoors and more generous storage.
Early details point to the Fire 5 Ultra running Android 15 on a MediaTek Helio G81 chipset. It’s built around a 6.6-inch HD+ LCD with a smooth 90 Hz refresh rate and an 8 MP Sony IMX355 selfie camera. The star of the show is the battery: a 13,000 mAh pack that supports 18 W wired charging and 5 W reverse charging, promising multi-day stamina for hikers, field workers, travelers, and anyone who spends long stretches away from an outlet. The Ultra also includes 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage with microSD expansion up to 2 TB, plus a 48 MP OmniVision OV48B2Q main camera.
What truly sets the Ultra apart is a pair of built-in camping lights on the back. Rated up to 1,200 lumens with an effective range of up to eight meters, they double as a powerful flashlight and an SOS beacon, with three adjustable brightness modes for different scenarios.
The Fire 5 Pro mirrors much of the Ultra’s rugged DNA but aims for a more budget-friendly price. Expect the same 6.6-inch 90 Hz screen and the full suite of durability protections, including MIL-STD-810H certification and IP68/IP69K resistance against dust, water, and high-pressure jets. It swaps in a 13 MP Samsung ISOCELL S5K3L6 main camera, 4 GB of RAM, and 128 GB of storage. The Pro skips the camping lights but keeps the reinforced frame and tough exterior that define the series.
Across both phones, you’ll find NFC for tap-to-pay, a side-mounted fingerprint reader, and a programmable key to quickly launch tools like the flashlight, camera, or push-to-talk apps. Finishes are said to include Forest Green, Blaze Orange, and Twilight Gray, with a cohesive, functional design that avoids feeling overly bulky despite the colossal batteries.
Pricing rumors suggest the Fire 5 Pro could land around $170, while the Fire 5 Ultra may come in near $200, positioning both as standout values in the rugged smartphone space. If you’ve been waiting for a true multi-day battery and serious durability at an accessible price, these two look poised to deliver.
