Let’s unpack what makes the V60 5G stand out in the ever-growing sea of mid-range Android phones.
A Design That Shines (Literally)
First impressions matter, and vivo knows it. The V60 5G comes dressed in some seriously attractive colors Mist Grey, Moonlit Blue, and the uniquely named Auspicious Gold. Its flat 6.67-inch AMOLED display isn’t just bright (peaking around 1300 nits), it’s also super smooth thanks to a 120Hz refresh rate and a crisp ~1.5K resolution (2800x1260).At just 7.5mm thick and weighing around 192 grams, the V60 keeps things sleek. It’s not all about looks either it’s rated IP68/IP69 for dust and water resistance, so you can breathe easy if it gets caught in the rain.
Power Under the Hood: Snapdragon 7 Gen 4
Performance-wise, vivo is betting on the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, a 4nm chip that brings snappy day-to-day performance and reliable gaming chops, paired with Adreno 722 GPU. You get options for 8GB or 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and storage goes up to 512GB. Sadly, there’s no microSD slot but that’s pretty standard these days.Running on Android 16 (with OriginOS on top for global models), the phone is expected to receive three Android updates and four years of security patches. That’s a big plus in a market where software longevity often gets ignored.
ZEISS Cameras: Zoom In, Snap Away
The headline feature here? That triple ZEISS-certified rear camera setup. The V60 5G gives you:- 50MP main sensor with OIS
- 8MP ultrawide lens
- 50MP periscope telephoto with ~3x optical zoom and up to 50x digital zoom
In past models, vivo’s camera tuning leaned toward extra sharpening and vibrant colors. With ZEISS now more involved, we’re expecting more natural color reproduction and better low-light control.
Battery Built for Long Days (and Nights)
Here's where the V60 really flexes a massive 6500mAh battery. That’s almost unheard of in this segment. And to keep you powered up quickly, it supports 90W FlashCharge. Some reports even suggest 100W charging support, though we’ll have to wait for official confirmation.Expect this phone to last comfortably through a heavy day, and likely into the next.
Audio, Extras, and What’s Missing
- Stereo speakers? Check.
- Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4? Absolutely.
- NFC for payments? Yes again.
Early Price Speculation
In India, the V60 5G is expected to land somewhere between ₹37,000 and ₹40,000, roughly $440 to $480 USD. Considering the spec sheet and vivo’s solid build quality, that seems like a fair deal especially with ZEISS optics and that huge battery.Should You Upgrade?
If you’re using an older vivo phone (or something like the V50), the V60 brings real upgrades:- A more powerful and efficient chip
- Sharper, brighter AMOLED display
- New ZEISS camera system with real optical zoom
- Bigger battery with faster charging
- Cleaner and longer software support window
Final Verdict: A Balanced Beast with a ZEISS Edge
The vivo V60 5G nails that sweet spot: premium features in a mid-range package. It’s clearly made for users who want great photography, a beautiful screen, long battery life, and flagship-inspired design without shelling out flagship money.Of course, we’ll know more once it officially launches and we get real-world reviews. But from what we can tell, the V60 5G is shaping up to be one of 2025’s most well-rounded Android phones.
