The vivo T5 is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7500 Turbo Processor with the latest GenAI-ready NPU Engine³, which delivers 233% faster on-device AI Computing (~10 tokens/s running a 3B LLM Model)¹, alongside powerful performance and energy efficiency. Built on a 4nm process, the chipset features an Octa-Core CPU, next-level Krake GPU architecture and an 8th-generation NPU, enabling over 8% lower power consumption for daily use and 15% improvement in smoothness³².

The Chipset’s 8th-Generation NPU, designed to be GenAI-ready, enables faster and more power-efficient on-device AI computing, delivering smoother generative AI, image processing and intelligent device experiences with reduced reliance on the cloud.

 With an AnTuTu score of up to 1.2M+⁴, the smartphone is designed to handle on-device AI Computing, Multitasking, Entertainment, gaming and everyday productivity with ease. 

To support sustained performance, the vivo T5 features a 0.38 dm² (3800 mm²) Vapor Chamber Cooling System with 2.3+ dm² (23,062 mm²)¹⁹ of total cooling area and nearly 6X higher thermal conductivity³³. Supported by 10 temperature sensors, the system enables real-time temperature monitoring and effective heat management during intensive usage, helping maintain stable performance without thermal throttling.

Premium Design with a Slim and Lightweight Form

The vivo T5 combines a large display and high-capacity battery with a 0.79 cm Ultra-slim profile and 199 g lightweight design, offering a comfortable in-hand experience during extended usage.

The smartphone features a 3D Curved AMOLED Display¹² complemented by a One-Piece Narrow Frame. Its integrated edge-finishing design creates smooth transitions between the back cover and screen edges, delivering a seamless feel during edge swipes.

The Compact Skyline Camera Design features a sleek aluminium camera module with polished edges and horizontally arranged lenses, which is further complemented by the Aurora Liquid Crystal Process on the back cover. The process creates a flowing, aurora-like blue sheen over the green base, delivering a luminous, crystal-like finish that shifts with movement. Available in Royal Bronze and Silver Green, the vivo T5 brings two distinctive design expressions. Royal Bronze combines warm metallic tones with a rich bronze-rose finish, while Silver Green blends soft silver tones with subtle green undertones for a refined, futuristic aesthetic.

Immersive 1.5K 144Hz⁶ 3D Curved AMOLED Display¹²

The vivo T5 features Segment’s Brightest¹⁷ 17.35 cm (6.83-inch)¹⁶ 1.5K 3D Curved AMOLED Display¹² with a 144Hz Refresh Rate⁶, delivering smooth visuals, responsive interactions, and detailed image reproduction across gaming, streaming, and everyday use.

With 449 PPI pixel density, a 93.82% Screen-to-Body ratio, DCI-P3 colour gamut, HDR10+ support, and up to 2000 nits HBM Brightness, the display is designed to deliver an immersive viewing experience with clear and vibrant visuals, including in bright outdoor environments.

The display also carries SGS Low Blue Light Certification²², SGS Low Flicker Certification²¹ and SGS Five-Star Sunlight Display Certification²⁰, supporting comfortable viewing across different conditions.

For extended viewing, the vivo T5 features Eye Protection Mode⁵, which supports scheduled activation and adjustable eye-protection levels. Sleep Comfort Mode reduces blue light and gradually adjusts the display’s colour temperature according to the natural day-night cycle. Anti-Fatigue Brightness Adjustment intelligently adapts screen brightness based on screen-on time and eye-fatigue levels to support a more comfortable viewing experience.

Enhancing the overall entertainment experience, the Ultra-Balanced Symmetrical Dual Stereo Speakers²³ on vivo T5 deliver balanced volume and sound quality with a stable, centred soundstage. The VEQ algorithm¹⁰ further enhances bass at lower volumes, delivering fuller, richer and more immersive audio.

Large 7050 mAh Battery with 44W FlashCharge¹⁵

The vivo T5 is equipped with a large 7050 mAh Battery despite which, the smartphone is Segment’s Slimmest 7000+ mAh phone¹⁸, engineered to provide long-lasting power for users who spend extended hours gaming, streaming, recording, and staying connected. With 44W FlashCharge¹⁵, in 30 minutes of charging, the battery reaches 44% from 1%, and 10 minutes of charging takes the device from 1% to 17%, providing enough power³⁴. The battery supports up to 5 years of battery health and up to 1600 complete charge and discharge cycles, designed to retain at least 80% battery health under specified testing conditions and support long-term usage.

It offers up to 14 days of standby time, 85 hours of music playback²⁴, 34.7 hours of local video playback²⁵, 16.9 hours of social media usage²⁶, and up to 7.9 hours of gaming²⁷ on a single charge. 

The vivo T5 also features Battery Life Extender, which automatically activates when the battery level is very low to prolong usable battery life. The feature allows users to continue essential functions such as calls and return directly to their previous task once the device is connected to a power source.

Adding to charging efficiency, Global Bypass Charging prioritizes power delivery to the system once the phone reaches 20% charge during supported usage scenarios. This helps mitigate temperature increases while the device is being used during charging.

Refined Imaging Capabilities for Everyday Moments

The vivo T5 offers a versatile imaging experience with its 50MP Sony IMX882 Main Camera featuring 4-axis OIS, which minimises camera shake across multiple directions to deliver sharper photos, smoother videos and clearer low-light shots. An 8MP Ultra-Wide-Angle Camera with a 115° field of view expands the creative possibilities further, allowing users to capture expansive landscapes, group shots and larger scenes with ease. For portraits, Multifocal Portrait offers 1x, 1.5x, and 2x Options, while vivo-style Bokeh Flare Portrait adds creative background effects. The 32MP Front Camera supports detailed selfies with an 84° field of view. The device also features AI Erase 2.0³⁰ for easily removing unwanted objects and distractions from photos.
