I made the mistake of purchasing a DOOGEE phone a few months back. Won't touch it now that I realize the OS is completely hijacked by whatever chinese company produced this not-half-bad phone. (It goes so far as adding a watermark of the company logo to every photo I take! Sure I can disable it but I just don't feel right putting anything of value on there.) What would happen if I tried installing CalyxOS on it? Or another android compatible operating system? It's not listed as compatible on any alternative android OS that I can see at least.

Copying my reply to another comment: Not recommended. Downloads are tailored to specific device models, and installing an operating system image intended for a different device model would not work and could brick your device. DOOGEE phones are not supported by LineageOS, and there is unfortunately hardly any developer focus on this brand: https://forum.xda-developers.com/c/doogee.12007/ https://forum.xda-developers.com/c/doogee.12007/ You are probably better off selling it. A used Google Pixel 3a is in the same price range, and would make a much more flexible replacement.
