The vivo V60 has officially landed in India as the successor to the V50, bringing a refreshed design, upgraded cameras, and a bigger battery – but also keeping some puzzling midrange compromises.
On the front, the V60 sports a gorgeous 6.77-inch 120Hz FullHD+ quad-curved AMOLED panel with HDR10+ support, protected by Schott Xensation Core glass. It’s brighter than the V50’s display, peaking at an eye-searing 5,000 nits. The centered punch-hole houses a 50MP ZEISS co-developed selfie camera with a 92° FOV, capable of crisp 4K 30fps video. An optical fingerprint scanner hides under the screen, fast and accurate, though placed a tad low for comfort.
The rear camera setup is where vivo flexes its muscle: a 50MP Sony IMX766 OIS primary shooter, a 50MP IMX882 OIS periscope telephoto (3x optical, up to 100x digital zoom), and an 8MP ultrawide. ZEISS tuning, an M-shaped periscope arrangement to reduce protrusion, and a circular Aura Light for adjustable color temperature make it stand out. New tricks include AI Four Season Portrait and a 10x Telephoto Stage Portrait, supposedly perfect for concerts. India also gets the Wedding vLog mode – though oddly, it was missing on the reviewed Indian unit.
Design-wise, the V60 comes in Mist Gray (plastic back), Auspicious Gold, and Moonlit Blue (both glass backs). Moonlit Blue is the thickest and heaviest but resists smudges well. The shiny plastic frame, USB-C port, stereo speakers, and IP68/IP69 water resistance round out the build.
Under the hood, however, things get controversial. The Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chip is fine for daily use, but paired with LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 2.2 storage in 2025 feels dated, especially at a base price of ₹36,999 (~$420). This is hardware we saw years ago, and competitors like Oppo’s Reno 14 offer faster LPDDR5X, UFS 3.1, metal frames, higher-resolution screens, and more powerful processors at similar pricing.
On the plus side, vivo promises four years of OS updates and six years of security patches, beating even its flagship X series. The 6,500 mAh battery with 90W charging is another strong point, alongside minimal bloatware and Android 15 with Funtouch OS 15. Still, while the V60 nails cameras and battery, its older memory/storage tech and plastic frame in some versions keep it from being the true midrange king it could have been.
