Performance: Entry-Level Hardware for Everyday Tasks
The Vivo Y05 is powered by the Unisoc T7225 chipset built on a 12nm process. It features an octa-core CPU with two Cortex-A75 cores clocked at 2.0GHz and six Cortex-A55 cores at 1.8GHz, paired with the Mali-G52 MP1 GPU.
The device is available in:
- 64GB storage with 4GB RAM
- 128GB storage with 4GB RAM
Storage is based on eMMC 5.1, and there is a dedicated microSD card slot for expansion.
One important highlight is Android 16 with OriginOS 6 out of the box. Getting the latest Android version at this price is a notable move, especially when some budget phones still ship with older software.
Cameras: Basic but Functional
The Vivo Y05 comes with a single 8MP rear camera with an f/2.0 aperture, along with LED flash and panorama support. It supports 1080p video recording at 30fps.
On the front, there is a 5MP selfie camera. This setup clearly targets essential photography needs — video calls, casual social media posts, and document scanning. It is not positioned as a camera-focused device, but rather a practical daily-use phone.
Battery: The Biggest Selling Point
One of the most significant highlights is the 6,500mAh battery. In the budget segment, this capacity is above average and could translate to extended screen-on time. The phone supports 15W wired charging and even reverse wired charging, allowing it to power smaller accessories or other devices.
