Vivo Y05e is available at Mascom International for KSh 19,900, brand new and sealed, with 64GB of storage, 4GB of RAM, a 6.74-inch 90Hz display and a 5150mAh battery. Made by Vivo, this entry-level Android phone runs on a Unisoc T7225 octa-core chip and accepts a microSD card of up to 2TB when the built-in space fills up. The Vivo Y05e also carries IP64 dust and splash resistance, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and dual nano-SIM slots. You can see and test it at our store in the Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, before you pay a shilling.

Built for university students, small traders, boda boda riders and first-time phone owners across Kenya, the Vivo Y05e covers the daily basics without fuss. Many buyers in this price band struggle with phones that die before evening or freeze when WhatsApp, M-Pesa and Facebook run together. The Vivo Y05e answers both problems with a 5150mAh battery and 4GB of RAM, backed by up to 4GB of extended memory borrowed from storage. The 6.74-inch screen gives room for reading messages, watching YouTube on a matatu ride and video calls with family upcountry.

Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that sell grey-market stock with no local backing, Mascom International supplies the Vivo Y05e with a 24-month Vivo local warranty and a charger in the box. Customers across Nairobi tell us they want a reliable second phone, or a dependable first one, without paying for features they will never use. Parents buying for students in Eldoret and Kisumu often pick the Vivo Y05e because the box also holds a case and a fitted screen protector. Visit us on Kimathi Street, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties.

Common Questions About the Vivo Y05e

How much is the Vivo Y05e 64GB in Kenya?
The Vivo Y05e 64GB with 4GB RAM costs KSh 19,900, brand new and sealed, at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price includes the 24-month Vivo local warranty, the charger and cable, a phone case and a pre-applied screen protector. You pay on arrival anywhere in Kenya, so you never send money for a phone you have not seen. If you want a bigger battery, the Vivo Y05 64GB sits KSh 2,100 higher at KSh 22,000.

Vivo Y05e or Vivo Y05: which one should I buy?
The Vivo Y05 64GB costs KSh 2,100 more than the Vivo Y05e and adds a 6500mAh battery, a 120Hz screen and IP65 protection. Both phones share the Unisoc T7225 chip, 4GB of RAM and an 8MP main camera, so everyday speed feels similar. The Vivo Y05e keeps a 5150mAh battery, a 90Hz screen at 570 nits and IP64 cover, while its box adds a case and screen protector. Choose the Vivo Y05e to stay under KSh 20,000, or the Vivo Y05 if battery life comes first.

Does the Vivo Y05e work on Safaricom, Airtel and Telkom networks?
Yes, the Vivo Y05e works on Safaricom, Airtel Kenya and Telkom 4G, with two nano-SIM slots for running two lines at once. It does not support 5G, so in Safaricom's 5G towns it stays on 4G, which handles WhatsApp calls, YouTube and M-Pesa comfortably. Many buyers keep a Safaricom line for M-Pesa and an Airtel line for data bundles. A separate microSD slot means you never have to choose between a second SIM and extra storage.

How long does the Vivo Y05e battery last on one charge?
The Vivo Y05e carries a 5150mAh battery, which gets most users through a full day of calls, WhatsApp, M-Pesa and social media. Buyers throughout Kenya report finishing the evening with charge to spare under moderate use. Long video streaming or hotspot sessions drain it faster, as on any phone. It charges at up to 15W with the Vivo charger in the box, and during KPLC power cuts a power bank from Mascom International keeps it running.

Is the Vivo Y05e good for university students?
The Vivo Y05e suits university students who need calls, WhatsApp groups, email and online class portals on a tight budget. Students at Kenyatta University, JKUAT and Moi University use phones like this for Google Classroom, PDF notes and M-Pesa fee payments. The 6.74-inch screen makes reading notes easier than on a small phone. A microSD card holds lecture recordings and downloaded documents. Heavy coding or video editing belongs on a laptop, not on any phone in this price range.

Can the Vivo Y05e handle dust and rain?
The Vivo Y05e carries an IP64 rating, meaning it is sealed against dust and resists water splashes from any direction. That suits daily life on dusty roads, in open-air markets and on a quick walk through Nairobi rain. It is not built for swimming or for being dropped into water, so keep it away from pools and buckets. Vivo notes that water resistance can decline with daily use, so keep the included case and screen protector on from the first day.

Who should buy the Vivo Y05e and who should skip it?
The Vivo Y05e is right for first-time phone owners, students, parents buying for teenagers and anyone who needs a dependable second line. It covers calls, messaging, M-Pesa, social media and light browsing at KSh 19,900. Skip it if you keep many apps and videos on the phone itself or play heavy 3D games. Storage-hungry buyers should step up to the Vivo Y21d 128GB at KSh 24,000 or the Vivo Y05 128GB at KSh 25,300, while serious mobile gamers need a stronger midrange chip.

Does the Vivo Y05e have fingerprint unlock and a memory card slot?
Yes, the Vivo Y05e has a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and a dedicated microSD slot that takes cards of up to 2TB. One touch unlocks the phone as you pick it up, which keeps M-Pesa and banking apps such as Equity and KCB behind your fingerprint. The 64GB of built-in storage fills quickly with WhatsApp media, so a memory card is the easy fix. A 64GB card alone holds about 32,000 photos from the 8MP camera, at roughly 2MB each.

Technical Specifications

Display
  • 6.74-inch LCD panel at 1600 x 720 resolution — a large, clear screen for chats, videos and reading long messages.
  • 90Hz refresh rate in supported apps — the screen redraws up to 90 times a second, so scrolling looks smoother than on a 60Hz phone.
  • 570 nits peak brightness in high brightness mode — readable outdoors in daylight, though harsh midday sun still calls for a little shade.
  • 260 pixels per inch — text and icons look sharp enough for everyday reading at a normal arm's length from your face.
  • Pre-applied screen protector from the factory — the glass face starts protected against scratches from keys and coins in a pocket.

Processor and Performance
  • Unisoc T7225 octa-core chipset — eight processing cores share the work, so calls, messaging and browsing run without long waits.
  • Cores clocked at 1.8GHz — steady speed for everyday apps, rather than heavy 3D gaming or video editing on the phone.
  • 12nm manufacturing process — a mature chip design that balances day-to-day performance with sensible battery use through the day.
  • Android with Vivo's own interface — familiar menus, full Google Play access and built-in tools for managing apps and battery.
  • Light multitasking — a messaging app, a social app, a banking app and the browser can run side by side for daily use.

Memory and Storage
  • 4GB LPDDR4X RAM — enough working memory to keep a handful of everyday apps open and switch between them quickly.
  • Up to 4GB extended RAM — the phone borrows spare storage as extra working memory when many apps are open at once.
  • 64GB eMMC 5.1 storage — room for your apps, chat media and thousands of photos before you need a memory card.
  • Dedicated microSD slot for cards up to 2TB — a separate tray position, so two SIM cards and extra storage work together.
  • About 2MB per 8MP photo — every 10GB of free space holds roughly 5,000 pictures taken with the main camera.

Camera
  • 8MP rear camera with f/2.0 aperture — clear daylight shots of family, documents, receipts and products you want to sell.
  • LED flash — lights up close subjects indoors or at night, such as paperwork, labels or items on a shop shelf.
  • 5MP front camera with f/2.2 aperture — fine for video calls, status updates and quick selfies with friends and family.
  • Best results in good light — like most phones in this price range, low-light photos show more grain and softer detail.
  • Video saved in MP4 format — clips play back on any computer, TV or phone without needing conversion software first.

Battery and Charging
  • 5150mAh typical capacity, rated at 5050mAh — a full day of calls, chats and browsing for most users on one charge.
  • 15W wired charging — steady, safe charging through the Vivo charger that comes in the box with every unit.
  • USB Type-C port — the reversible plug fits either way up, and the same cable type works with most current chargers.
  • OTG support — connect a flash drive or keyboard through the USB-C port to move files without a computer.
  • Li-ion battery — keep the phone out of hot cars and direct sun to protect battery health over the years ahead.

Connectivity and Build
  • 4G LTE with dual SIM dual standby — two lines stay active at once, so calls reach you on either number.
  • Dual-band Wi-Fi at 2.4GHz and 5GHz — the 5GHz band gives faster, less crowded connections on home and office routers.
  • Bluetooth 5.2 — pairs with wireless earphones, speakers and car audio systems with a stable, low-drop connection.
  • IP64 dust and splash resistance — sealed against dust and protected from water splashes, though not built for submersion.
  • Side-mounted fingerprint sensor, 199g weight and 8.19mm thickness — NFC is not supported, so tap-to-pay is not available.
