How does DOOGEE benefit from $49.99 bucks?
According to DOOGEE’s CEO and sales director, DOOGEE isn’t planning to make money from X5. That sounds crazy. But it’s true. All they wish is for more retailers and users to know DOOGEE and DOOGEE smartphones, thus developing new clients and gainning more market shares.
