contents In this paper, we consider the Schrödinger operators on $ \ell^{2}(\N) $, defined for all $ x\in\mathbb{T} $ by \begin{equation} (H(x)u)_n = u_{n+1} + u_{n-1} + λf(2^{n} x) u_n, \quad \text{for } n \geq 0,\notag \end{equation} with the Dirichlet boundary condition $ u_{-1}=0 $. Building on Zhang's recent breakthrough work [Comm.Math.Phys.405:231(2024)] that resolved Damanik's open problem [Proc.Sympos. Pure Math.76,Amer.Math.Soc.(2007)] on the uniform positivity of the Lyapunov exponent, for the potential $ f \in C^{1}(0,1)$ with $ \|f\|_{C^{1}(0,1)} < C $ and $ \inf_{x \in (0,1)} |f^{\prime}(x)| > c>0 $, we obtain the large deviation estimate and prove that for a.e. $ x \in \mathbb{T} $ and sufficiently large $ λ> λ_{0} $, the operators $ H(x) $ display Anderson localization. Furthermore, if the potentials also have zero mean, our analysis reveals that the doubling map models can exhibit localization behavior for both small and large coupling constants $ λ$.
