Vivo V60 has arrived in India with a focus on portraits, battery life, and durability. This is a clean mid range option with a periscope telephoto and a long software support window.
If you are coming from a two year old device, this is a balanced pick with a clear imaging edge for portraits and stage zoom.

Key Specs (at a glance)

What’s new vs Vivo V50

• Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 replaces 7 Gen 3 — better CPU and GPU efficiency in daily use, smoother gaming and camera processing.
• 6500 mAh battery up from 6000 mAh — more buffer for long navigation, video capture, and social use with similar charge time at 90 W.
• 50 MP periscope telephoto with 3x optical — portraits and stage shots gain reach and better subject isolation.
• Brighter screen with up to 5000 nits local peak — clearer outdoors.
• Longer support window to 4 OS upgrades and 6 years of security — more runway for owners planning to keep the phone.

Rivals to consider

Display & Design

V60 uses a 6.77 inch quad curved AMOLED with a 120 Hz refresh and high local peak brightness. Text stays readable in harsh Delhi noon sun and scrolling feels fluid. The quad curved frame remains comfortable and the camera island is compact, so the phone sits well in hand. IP68 and IP69 adds confidence in rain and dust. Diamond Shield glass aims to reduce drop anxiety. If you prefer flat displays this curve will need a learning period but accidental touches are managed well.

Performance & Thermals

Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 strikes a sensible balance. It breezes through social feeds, camera work, and casual gaming. Thermal behavior is stable in 20 to 30 minute camera sessions with 4K capture and short gaming bursts. You will not chase flagship frame rates in heavy titles but consistency is the draw here. The larger vapor chamber and tuned cooling help avoid quick throttling in summer conditions.

Cameras (photo + video)

The story is portraits and reach. The 50 MP telephoto periscope with 3x optical gives cleaner subject separation and face detail than digital zoom at the same distance. Multifocal portrait presets at 23, 35, 50, 85, and 100 mm focal lengths make framing simple. The 50 MP main with OIS handles indoor light reliably, while the 8 MP ultra wide is serviceable for travel scenes. Front camera records 4K and keeps skin tones natural. Stage Portrait with a one tap 10x option is handy for school or concert seats far from the stage.

Battery & Charging

A 6500 mAh pack changes daily behavior. Navigation heavy days and reels do not force a midday top up. Vivo claims 22 hours of YouTube playback and 9 hours of navigation under lab conditions; real world numbers will vary but the buffer is evident. The 90 W adapter ships in the box and a 20 to 70 percent top up over a short break is realistic.

Software & Updates

Funtouch OS 15 on Android 15 adds AI tools like reflection removal and image expander along with Google Gemini integration. The support window is a standout in this class with four Android upgrades and six years of security. There are preloaded utilities and a separate app store; most extras can be disabled. Long term, the promise of extended security is the bigger value for buyers who keep phones beyond two years.

Price & Availability

• Starting at ₹36,999 for 8 GB RAM and 128 GB storage
• Sales start 2025-08-19 via vivo online store, Amazon, Flipkart, and partner retailers in India

Should you upgrade?

• From last gen V50 owners get a brighter display, a larger battery, and a useful periscope telephoto. If portraits and zoom matter to you, this is a clear step up.
• From a two year old phone the four version upgrades and six years of security make this a safe landing with fewer compromises than typical mid range picks.
• Budget focused buyers can consider older V50 variants or Nothing Phone 3a during sale periods if zoom reach and IP69 are not priorities.

Verdict

Vivo V60 prioritises portraits, reach, and battery life without chasing headline performance. The camera stack is thoughtful for everyday people photography. The battery and the extended update policy reduce ownership friction. If you value clean zoomed portraits and want a device you can keep for years, this is an easy shortlist pick in the thirty to forty five thousand bracket. Gamers who want max frame rates should still look at a performance first option.
