Blackview has officially introduced its new budget-focused tablet, the Blackview Zeno 5, in the Nepali market. Designed for users who need a device for both entertainment and light work, the tablet comes bundled with several useful accessories out of the box, including a wireless keyboard, mouse, stylus, protective case, and tempered glass.
Minimalist Design and Display
The Blackview Zeno 5 features a clean aesthetic with a glass rear panel and a neat camera module layout. Available in Space Grey, Ocean Blue, and Sunset Orange color options, the tablet carries an IP54 rating for basic resistance against dust and water splashes.
On the front, it sports a large 11-inch IPS display with a smooth 90Hz refresh rate. While the panel operates at a basic resolution of 1280 × 800 pixels, it supports 16.7 million colors, a wide 178-degree viewing angle, and TÜV SÜD-certified low-blue-light protection. To enhance usability, it includes Reading Mode, Dark Mode, Night Light, and Widevine L1 certification for playing HD content up to 1080p on streaming platforms.
Hardware Performance and Software
Under the hood, the Zeno 5 is driven by the entry-level Unisoc T7250 octa-core chipset (featuring two Cortex-A75 performance cores and six Cortex-A55 efficiency cores) paired with a Mali-G57 GPU. This setup is tailored for standard daily activities such as browsing, video playback, online classes, and casual multitasking.
The device comes with 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM (with support for up to 24GB of virtual RAM expansion) and 128GB of UFS 2.1 internal storage, which can be expanded up to 2TB via a microSD card. It operates on DokeOS_P 5.0, built on top of Android 16. Software highlights include PC Mode 3.0 for a desktop-style layout, Gemini integration, and Doke AI 2.0 tools for assistance with writing, searching, and summarizing.
Battery Life and Camera Setup
Powering the tablet is a massive 8,300mAh battery supporting 18W fast charging and a deep power-saving mode. Blackview claims the battery delivers up to 8.6 hours of web browsing, 7.5 hours of video streaming, or 7.5 hours of gaming on a single charge.
For cameras, the tablet is equipped with a 13MP main rear camera suited for document scanning and basic photography, alongside an 8MP front sensor for video calls and selfies. Both cameras support 1080p video recording, with the front camera offering face detection, face-fill light, and face unlock capabilities.

The Blackview Zeno 5 is priced in Nepal at NPR 29,999 for the single 8GB RAM + 128GB storage variant. It can be purchased through authorized tech retailers across the country.
