Vivo Y05 64GB

The Vivo Y05 64GB has a conventional, non-folding form factor measuring 167.4 mm tall, 77.1 mm wide, and 8.4 mm thick, with a total volume of approximately 108.41 cm³ and a weight of 209 g. It carries an IP65 ingress protection rating, classifying it as water resistant against low-pressure water jets and fully dust-tight. The build is not designated as rugged, so while the IP65 certification provides a meaningful degree of environmental protection, the device does not feature the reinforced construction associated with purpose-built rugged handsets.

The Vivo Y05 64GB features a 6.74″ IPS LCD touchscreen with a resolution of 720 x 1600 px and a pixel density of 260 ppi. One of its more notable display traits is its 120Hz refresh rate, which allows for smoother on-screen motion. The panel does not support HDR10, HDR10+, or Dolby Vision, and there is no Always-On Display mode or secondary screen. It also lacks branded damage-resistant glass, and there is no secondary screen included.

The Vivo Y05 64GB is driven by the Unisoc T7225 SoC, fabricated on a 12 nm process and featuring an eight-core CPU with all cores clocked at 1.8 GHz arranged in a big.LITTLE configuration across two clusters, supported by 8 CPU threads. The chip includes integrated LTE, integrated graphics in the form of the Mali G57 MP1 GPU — which operates at a turbo frequency of 614.4 MHz, offers 2 execution units, 32 shading units, supports DirectX 11 and OpenCL 2.0 — and ARM TrustZone for hardware-level security. The device ships with 4 GB of LPDDR4 RAM running at 1866 MHz with a maximum memory bandwidth of 12.8 GB/s, alongside 64 GB of eMMC 5.1 internal storage; the platform supports up to 8 GB of RAM in total. Cache is organized as 128 KB L1, 2 MB L2, and 1 MB L3, and the SoC is fully 64-bit compatible.

The Vivo Y05 64GB has a single-lens 8 MP rear camera with an f/2.0 aperture and a CMOS sensor, capable of recording video at 1080p 30 fps with continuous autofocus during recording. Autofocus options include phase-detection and touch autofocus, though laser autofocus is not available, and there is no optical image stabilization. Manual controls cover exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance, while manual shutter speed is not supported. The camera also supports HDR mode, burst shooting, slow-motion video, timelapse, and in-camera panoramas, but does not shoot in RAW format, does not offer optical zoom, and cannot capture 360° panoramas, 3D content, or record in HDR10 or Dolby Vision. Flash is provided by two LED units, though they are not dual-tone and there is no RGB flash. On the front, a 5 MP camera with an f/2.2 aperture handles selfies; it is a single-lens setup with no front-facing flash and is not positioned under the display.

The Vivo Y05 64GB runs Android 16, a free and open-source platform that supports multiple user accounts and includes on-device machine learning. Privacy tooling covers location controls, camera and microphone access management, clipboard warnings, and the ability to block app tracking, though cross-site tracking blocking and Mail Privacy Protection are not available. On the customization side, the OS offers dark mode, dynamic theming, theme customization, widgets, and customizable notifications with full notification permission controls. Productivity features include split-screen multitasking, picture-in-picture, full-page scrolling screenshots, a media picker, sharing intents, app offloading, and the ability to play games while they are still downloading. Voice capabilities extend to voice commands and offline voice recognition, and the device supports phone tracking and a child lock. Battery health checking and an extra dim display mode are also present, while Wi-Fi password sharing, focus modes, Quick Start, and the ability to function as a PC are not supported. Direct OS updates from the vendor are not provided on this device.

The Vivo Y05 64GB is equipped with a 6500 mAh rechargeable battery that supports 15W fast charging, and a charger is included in the box. A battery level indicator is present, making it straightforward to monitor remaining charge. The battery is non-removable and does not support wireless charging or reverse wireless charging.

The Vivo Y05 64GB includes a 3.5 mm headphone jack for wired audio and features stereo speakers, along with a built-in radio. For wireless audio, none of the advanced Bluetooth codec standards are supported — there is no aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, or LDAC.

The Vivo Y05 64GB supports dual SIM cards and connects via Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) and Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), with cellular connectivity through an integrated module, though 5G is not supported. Maximum download and upload speeds reach 300 Mbits/s and 100 Mbits/s respectively. Bluetooth 5.2 handles short-range wireless communication, and NFC is included for contactless use cases. The USB port is Type-C but operates at USB 2.0 speeds, and there is no HDMI output. For location, the device offers GPS with Galileo support alongside a compass and accelerometer, while a gyroscope, barometer, and motion or optical tracking are absent. Security is handled by a fingerprint scanner; 3D facial recognition and an iris scanner are not present, and no stylus is included. An external memory slot is available for storage expansion. Features such as ANT+, a heart rate monitor, infrared sensor, DLNA certification, crash detection, emergency SOS via satellite, and a built-in projector are all absent.

The Vivo Y05 64GB includes a video light, which can be used to illuminate subjects during video recording. The display is flat rather than curved and uses neither sapphire glass nor e-paper technology.
