The Energizer Hard Case G5 features a 6.3-inch FHD IPS display with a waterdrop notch and Gorilla Glass 5 protection. The bezels are not the slimmest, most especially the lower bezel. The device has a rubberized body with reinforced corners to absorb shocks when it drops.

The phone is powered by a Dimensity 720 processor paired with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. There is a MicroSD card slot that allows for storage expansion. For the cameras, there is a 48MP main sensor, a 13MP ultrawide angle camera, and a 20MP night camera that allows for nighttime shots thanks to an infrared illuminator positioned near the 48MP sensor at the bottom. Inside the notch is an 8MP camera.

There is a 5000mAh battery inside the phone that charges via USB-C. There is no audio jack but the device has an FM radio. It also has NFC, dual SIM support, and a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner. The Hard Case G5 has an IP69 rating. The phone runs Android 11.
