Editorial report

vivo iQOO U5 technical sheet

The vivo iQOO U5 suits anyone looking for a large, smooth display for everyday use, but the lack of Google Services is a significant drawback for people who rely on Google apps. Its 6.58-inch IPS LCD display runs at 120 Hz and has a density of 401 ppi. The 89% screen-to-body ratio is better than that of most phones of its time. At 185 g and 8.3 mm thick, it is also lighter and thinner than most phones launched around the same time.

This version pairs 4 GB of RAM with 128 GB of storage; the iQOO U5 is also sold in 6 GB / 128 GB and 8 GB / 128 GB configurations. Storage is expandable. It runs Android 12 but has no Google Services and does not receive direct OS updates. That matters for anyone who prioritizes Google apps or direct system updates. The 5,000 mAh battery supports 18 W fast charging; both figures are typical for phones of its time. The camera setup includes a 50 MP camera and a 2 MP macro camera.

The vivo iQOO U5 has a NeoScore of 5.4. Its display and design make the clearest case for choosing it, while the missing Google Services are its main drawback. It is best suited to people who value a large, lightweight display and can do without Google’s services.
