The Doogee X5 Max Pro was launched last year with a 5 inch HD display, 2GB of RAM and a Quad Core MediaTek processor. The device was an entry level variant from Doogee with 5-megapixel cameras on the front and back and a 16GB internal storage memory. The Doogee X5 Max Pro was released with Android Marshmallow 6.0 based on a custom skin and the company did not announce any future plans for the software updates for the device.
So, your Doogee X5 Max Pro might not receive any more official updates from the manufacturer. However, if you wish to update your device to the latest version of Android, then you can install an unofficial build of LineageOS 14.1 based on Android Nougat 7.1.1 which was recently released for the device. The custom ROM is in the initial stages of development, so many features might not work in this build.
But if you still want to try out Android Nougat 7.1 on your device and experience the latest features it has to offer, you can try installing the unofficial Lineage OS 14.1 on your Doogee X5 Max Pro manually by following our step by step instructions below. Make sure to take a complete backup of your device before you proceed to restore it in case the ROM is not working or booting up.
