The Vivo V60 5G has arrived, and it’s making a strong case as a top contender in the mid-premium smartphone segment. Building on the success of its V-series predecessors, this new model brings together a stylish design, long-lasting battery, and a versatile, ZEISS-branded camera system.
Design and Display
The V60 5G is a beautiful device, with a sleek, slim profile and a quad-curved AMOLED display. At just 7.53mm in thickness for the Mist Gray variant, it holds the distinction of being one of the slimmest smartphones with a large 6500mAh battery. The phone’s design is refined, featuring a pill-shaped camera island and an “Aura Light” that blend seamlessly into the color-matched back panel. The device also boasts an impressive IP68 and IP69 rating, offering robust dust and water resistance.
The 6.77-inch AMOLED screen is a true highlight. With a 1080×2392 pixel resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, it offers a smooth and vibrant viewing experience. The display’s peak brightness of 5000 nits ensures excellent legibility even in direct sunlight, while HDR10+ support enhances content consumption.
Performance and Software
Under the hood, the Vivo V60 5G is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 SoC, which provides a notable performance upgrade over previous models in the series. While not a flagship gaming processor, it handles everyday tasks and even demanding games with ease, with minimal stutter or overheating.
The phone runs on Funtouch OS 15, based on Android 15. While some users may find the interface a bit cluttered due to pre-installed apps, it is feature-rich and fluid. Vivo has also committed to providing four major Android OS upgrades and six years of security patches, offering excellent long-term software support. The V60 also comes equipped with a suite of AI features, from camera enhancements like AI Image Expander and AI Erase to productivity tools like AI Smart Call Assistant.
A Class-Leading Camera System
The camera is arguably the V60 5G’s most compelling feature. The ZEISS-branded triple rear camera system is designed to deliver a professional photography experience. It includes a 50MP main sensor with OIS, a 50MP periscope telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, and an 8MP ultrawide camera. The telephoto lens, in particular, is a standout, providing excellent portrait shots with multiple ZEISS-style focal lengths.
On the front, a 50MP selfie camera with autofocus and 4K video recording capabilities makes the V60 a strong choice for vlogging and high-quality self-portraits. While the main and telephoto lenses excel, the ultrawide camera is considered a weak point, lacking the same level of detail and low-light performance.
Battery Life and Charging
The Vivo V60 is built for endurance. It packs a massive 6500mAh battery, which provides excellent, all-day battery life. When it’s time to recharge, the included 90W fast charging support ensures minimal downtime.
Price and Availability
The Vivo V60 5G launched with a starting price of approximately Rs. 36,999 for the base 8GB RAM + 128GB storage variant. It is available in three striking colors: Mist Gray, Moonlit Blue, and Auspicious Gold.
The V60 Pro: Rumored but Unconfirmed
While the V60 5G has been officially released, there are rumors circulating about a more powerful “V60 Pro” model. This variant is expected to feature a MediaTek Dimensity 9300 chipset, a 6000mAh battery with 100W fast charging, and an even more advanced camera setup, all with an expected price starting around Rs. 51,999. As of now, these are unconfirmed details, but they suggest Vivo’s continued focus on bringing premium features to its V-series lineup.
