Short Review

  • The vivo V5 Lite features a sleek design with dimensions of 153.8 x 75.5 x 7.6 mm and a weight of 155g, available in Crown Gold and Rose Gold colors.
  • Its 5.5-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 267 ppi, suitable for everyday use but lacking HDR support.

  • The rear camera is a 13 MP unit with an f/2.2 aperture, capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while the 16 MP front camera is designed for high-quality selfies.
  • The battery capacity stands at 3000mAh, supporting standard charging but no wireless options.
  • Running on Android 6 (Marshmallow) with Funtouch 3, the software experience is functional but may feel dated compared to newer versions.
