Vivo Y05 launched in Nepal with 6,500mAh Battery and 120Hz IPS Display

Vivo has officially launched the Vivo Y05 in Nepal. It’s an entry-level smartphone with a large 6500mAh battery. This article covers everything about the Vivo Y05, including full specifications, features, and official price in Nepal. Let's dive in!

Vivo Y05 Overview

Display and Design

To start with, the Vivo Y05 goes in the same direction as every other budget phone. You are greeted with a 6.74-inch LCD with HD+ resolution (1600 × 720 pixels) and a U-shaped punch. The visual quality should be decent enough to watch reels and other content. Plus, the display supports a 120Hz refresh rate for smoother scrolling. For outdoor visibility, the panel can reach up to 1200 nits in High Brightness Mode (HBM). 

Vivo phones are always known for their beautiful design. The Y05 looks premium from the rear side with a vertical camera layout. Despite being made of plastic, it has SGS and military-grade drop resistance, ensuring durability. You also get an IP65 rating for protection against dust and water resistance. It has a thickness of 8.39mm and a weight of 209 grams. In Nepal, Vivo ships this guy in two colors: Voyage Black and Summit Platinum. Other than that, you also get a fingerprint sensor, which is side-mounted for unlocking your phone.

Performance

Moving on, the device is powered by the Unisoc T7225 chipset built on a 12nm process. The UNISOC chipsets are not known for their performance, but this one can handle your day-to-day tasks well for light usage. Similarly, the phone comes with 4GB LPDDR4X RAM and 64GB eMMC 5.1 storage. It also supports up to 4GB of virtual RAM expansion. You also get storage expansion up to 2TB via a microSD card.

Battery and Charging

One of the best parts of the device has to be its battery. It features a massive 6,500mAh Li-ion battery and 15W wired charging. It should last easily for one and a half days on moderate usage and can even extend up to days if you're a light user. Meanwhile, on the software side, the device runs OriginOS 6.0 based on Android 16.

Camera and Rest

For cameras, the Vivo Y05 includes an 8MP rear camera with an f/2.0 aperture and an LED flash. We cannot expect super-crisp photos from it, but it should be decent enough for casual shots. On the front, there is a 5MP selfie camera with an f/2.2 aperture. Connectivity options are pretty typical: since it's not a 5G device, you get 4G VoLTE access, plus dual-SIM support, dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4GHz + 5GHz), Bluetooth 5.2, and USB Type-C. And interestingly, it even has an infrared blaster. So you can use the Y05 as a remote for your electronics, such as a TV, AC, and so on.

Should you buy the Vivo Y05 in Nepal?

I must say the Vivo Y05 is a viable option in the budget range at the moment. Just look at its specs: it's got a huge 6500mAh battery, a drop-resistant body, and boots on the latest Android 16. The UNISCO T7225 is also a decent chip for the price and can cater to moderate and light users. Plus, the presence of an infrared sensor is something I must praise, as it also doubles as a remote control. Yeah, the cameras might not be that impressive, but for the price, they should click decent enough outputs.
