Let’s explore the Vivo V60 together. What makes a smartphone exceptional? Is it the design, camera, or performance? In this blog, we’ll explore these questions using detailed reviews. I’ll share my thoughts and pose questions to spark your curiosity.
Unboxing: What Lies Within the Vivo V60 Box?
I hold a new smartphone box – what do I expect? The unboxing sets the tone. Vivo V60’s package is straightforward yet promising. It shows the brand’s attention to detail and care for users.
-
Accessories: The box has a silicone case, a 90W charger, cables, a warranty card, a guide, a SIM ejector tool, and a pre-applied screen protector.
-
AI and Zeiss Branding: The box proudly states “Comes with AI” and “Co-engineered with Zeiss.” This got me wondering: How does such branding influence our perception of quality? It hints at advanced camera tech and smart features, which we’ll explore later.
Design and Build: Does Form Follow Function?
The Vivo V60 combines premium style with practical design. It feels “just right” in your hand.
-
Sleek and Slim Profile: It’s 7.4-7.65mm thick and 195-203g heavy, feeling slim yet substantial. The weight distribution is well-managed, making it comfortable.
-
Color Options and Materials: Available in Gold, Gray, and Blue. Gold and Blue have frosted glass backs, while Gray uses polycarbonate. The frame is plastic, but feels premium. It’s IP68/IP69 rated, withstanding water up to 1.5m for 120 minutes.
-
Camera Module and Overall Aesthetics: The small Zeiss camera bump on the side gives a sleek, modern look, like the Vivo X200. Does minimalism stand out in a sea of flashy phones?
This design change from the V50 raises questions. Did Vivo take user feedback into account for a sleeker look?
Display: A Window to Vibrant Worlds
You’re outdoors on a sunny day, trying to view your screen. Frustrating if it’s dim, isn’t it? The display is our main way to interact. So, what makes a display truly exceptional?
-
Specifications That Shine: The 6.77-inch AMOLED display has a 1.5K resolution. It also offers a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. It gets very bright, up to 5000 nits, making outdoor use easier.
-
Multimedia Experience: Stereo speakers deliver loud, clear sound, but the haptics need work. There are no high-res Bluetooth codecs like LDAC, which might disappoint audiophiles. Still, for daily use, it’s great vibrant colors stand out, and content feels immersive. Why do you think Vivo picked brightness instead of resolution upgrades?
-
Protection and Features: Diamond Shield Glass resists scratches. It also has an in-display fingerprint sensor for added security. Always-On Display is here too. I wonder: Does a quad-curved design make things more comfortable or just look better?
Overall, it looks like an upgrade from the V50’s 4500 nits. This sets a new standard for mid-range phones.
Camera: Capturing the Essence – Or Is It More?
Ah, the camera the heart of Vivo’s V-series. What if I asked: What defines a great smartphone camera? Is it megapixels, features, or real-world results? The V60’s setup, co-engineered with Zeiss, invites deep exploration.
Hardware Upgrades:
-
50MP main camera (Sony IMX766)
-
50MP telephoto camera (Sony IMX882, 3x zoom)
-
8MP ultrawide camera
-
50MP selfie camera
The telephoto addition addresses a V50 gap. Why was this missing before, and how does it change portrait photography?
Photography Prowess:
Portraits are stunning with excellent edge detection, skin tones, and bokeh.
Modes:
-
Focal lengths: 23mm to 100mm
-
Zeiss styles: Natural, Vivid, Textured
-
AI 4-Season Portrait: Changes backgrounds by season using cloud AI
Samples show vibrant details in daylight and low light. Have you imagined using AI to turn a summer shot into winter wonder?
Video and Special Features:
4K 30fps on main, telephoto, and selfie (ultrawide at 1080p). Stabilization is strong. It has modes like Wedding Vlog, which combines clips. There’s also Stage Mode for concerts and Micro Movie. Aura Light adjusts flash temperature. But no 4K 60fps does that limit creators?
Selfies and Ultrawide:
Selfies are wide and sharp, with good tones. The ultrawide is decent but not great. Zooming to 10x (or 100x digitally) is impressive. Does this phone help casual photographers think like pros? It has features like AI Eraser, Reflection Remover, and Magic Move.
The camera’s leap, especially in telephoto, excites me. It’s not just about the hardware; the algorithm and features really enhance it.
Performance: Powering Through – But at What Cost?
Performance often gets overlooked until it lags. Let’s ponder: What balance of power do you seek in a daily driver? The V60 upgrades here, but is it enough for everyone?
-
Chipset and Benchmarks: Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 (4nm), up from V50’s Gen 3. AnTuTu around 987,000 to 1 million, Geekbench solid, no throttling in tests. Temperatures stay under 40°C. Why might Vivo stick with LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 2.2 storage?
-
Gaming and Multitasking:
-
Enjoy smooth 60fps in BGMI, with a possible update for 90fps.
-
Experience 51fps in Genshin Impact at high settings.
Gyro works well, with game modes for optimization. Apps open fast, multitasking seamless. But for heavy gamers, are there better options under ₹40,000?
-
-
Connectivity: 11 5G bands, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC (new addition), IR blaster. Daily tasks feel snappy. I question: Does this upgrade justify the “next-generation” label?
It’s balanced for most users, but pushes us to consider our needs.
Battery and Software: Endurance and Evolution
Battery life how often do we wish for more? And software: The unsung hero or villain?
-
Battery Boost: 6500mAh (lithium-ion, not silicon-carbon), up from V50’s 6000mAh. 90W charging hits full in 52-54 minutes. Expect 7+ hours screen time. In a slim body, how did Vivo achieve this without compromise?
-
Software Insights: Funtouch OS 15 on Android 15, with 4 years OS updates and 6 years security. AI features like Gemini, Circle to Search, AI Image Expander, Magic Move, and Call Assistant. Some bloatware, but useful. Design needs polish will Funtouch 16 deliver?
What role does software have in your loyalty to your phone? It helps ensure longevity.
Pricing and Final Reflections: Is the Vivo V60 for You?
Rumored under ₹40,000 for base (8/128GB), up to 16/512GB. Variants cater to needs. But let’s think: With improved design, camera, performance, and battery, does it get a thumbs up?
In wrapping up, I’ve shared over 1,200 words of insights, but the real value lies in your reflections. What aspects of the V60 intrigue you most? Would the telephoto lens change your photography habits? Or does the battery promise sway you? Share in the comments let’s continue this dialogue. Together, we’re not just looking at a phone. We’re discovering what innovation means to us. Until next time, keep questioning.
