[LETTERHEAD OF SIMPSON THACHER & BARTLETT LLP]
March 1, 2021
Vivint Smart Home, Inc.
4931 North 300 West
Provo, Utah 84604

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Vivint Smart Home, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to the issuance by the Company of an aggregate of up to 15,166,225 shares (the “Shares”) of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company that may be issued by the Company pursuant to the Vivint Smart Home, Inc. 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2020 Omnibus Plan”).

We have examined the Registration Statement, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company and the 2020 Omnibus Plan, each of which has been filed with the Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In addition, we have examined, and have relied as to matters of fact upon, originals, or duplicates or certified or conformed copies, of such records, agreements, documents and other instruments and such certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Company and have made such other investigations as we have deemed relevant and necessary in connection with the opinions hereinafter set forth.

In rendering the opinion set forth below, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as duplicates or certified or conformed copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents.

The Company was formed as Mosaic Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Mosaic”), which, on December 21, 2018, domesticated into a Delaware corporation and, on January 17, 2020, consummated the merger of its wholly-owned subsidiary with and into Vivint Smart Home, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Legacy Vivint”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 15, 2019, among Mosaic, Legacy Vivint and certain other parties thereto, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 18, 2019 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) (the merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Merger”). In connection with the closing of the Merger, Mosaic changed its name to Vivint Smart Home, Inc.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations stated herein, we are of the opinion that upon issuance and delivery in accordance with the 2020 Omnibus Plan, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

We do not express any opinion herein concerning any law other than the Delaware General Corporation Law.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP
SIMPSON THACHER & BARTLETT LLP
