Starting with the display of the device, the Vivo G1 5G sports a 6.44-inch Full HD+ AMOLED with a resolution of 1,080 x 2,400 pixels and a pixel density of 409 pixels per inch. The Vivo G1 5G features a waterdrop notch at the top of the display. The waterdrop notch makes room for a 32MP selfie shooter.

Under the hood, the Vivo G1 5G is powered by an octa-core Exynos 980 processor, which is paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.
