What’s new vs Vivo V50

  • Bigger battery 6500 mAh and the same 90 W charging, an increase over the V50’s 6000 mAh pack, which improves day-and-a-half use in typical mixed workloads.
  • New dedicated 50 MP super telephoto rear camera joins the 50 MP main and 8 MP ultra-wide for more flexible portrait and reach, a step up from the V50’s dual 50 MP rear setup.
  • Display brightness rises to a listed 5000 nits local peak from 4500 nits on V50, which aids HDR visibility outdoors.
  • Update policy moves to 4 years OS and 6 years security for V60, up from V50’s 3 years OS and 4 years security.

Rivals to consider

PhoneWhy pick itWhere it falls short
OnePlus 13RStronger raw performance and night camera output based on early comparisons from reviewersHeavier body and lower ingress rating on some variants
realme GT 7Higher peak performance and faster wired chargingTends to run hotter and is tuned more for speed than endurance

Comparative impressions reflect current India reviews and test data.

Display & Design

V60 keeps the slim, quad curved aesthetic with a 6.77 inches AMOLED panel at Full HD Plus resolution and an adaptive 120 Hz refresh. The official parameter page lists 5000 nits local peak brightness and P3 color coverage, which shows up as improved outdoor readability over the previous generation. The chassis carries IP68 as well as IP69, which is unusual in the segment and provides both immersion and high pressure water resistance.

Finish and materials vary by color. Auspicious Gold and Moonlit Blue use glass backs while Mist Gray uses a plastic composite, helping balance weight across variants. Weight ranges from 192 g to 201 g depending on color.

Performance & Thermals

The shift to Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 on 4 nm gives a measured bump in efficiency. Early review testing shows the V60 around the one-million mark on AnTuTu and roughly 1300 single core plus 3500 multi core in Geekbench, below performance-tier rivals but with better thermal consistency than some faster phones in this price band. Gaming runs stable at typical 60 fps targets without becoming uncomfortably warm.

Cameras

The triple rear system pairs a 50 MP OIS main camera with a 50 MP super telephoto and an 8 MP ultra-wide. The front camera is 50 MP with autofocus and a wider field of view for groups. Early review samples highlight crisp daylight portraits and flexible framing from the tele module, while low light output trails the best in class with some flare and color shifts. Wedding Portrait and ZEISS modes continue as signature features for the V series.

Battery & Charging

Vivo lists a 6500 mAh BlueVolt battery with 90 W FlashCharge, claiming longevity aided by newer chemistry. Independent lab tests report approximately 12.7 hours in PCMark’s battery benchmark and about 47 minutes for a 20 to 100 percent charge with the in-box charger. In mixed real-world use a full day is easy and a day and a half is reachable for moderate users.

Software & Updates

The phone ships with Funtouch OS 15 based on Android 15. Vivo and multiple outlets cite 4 years of Android version upgrades and 6 years of security patches for V60, extending the support window for a mid range V phone. This is a clear move beyond the V50’s 3 plus 4 policy.

Price & Availability

  • Starting price in India is ₹36,999 for 8 GB RAM with 128 GB storage. Higher tiers include 8+256, 12+256, and 16+512 at ₹38,999, ₹40,999, and ₹45,999.
  • Open sales from 2025-08-19 via Vivo India e-store, Amazon, Flipkart, and offline retail partners.
    Both lines above confirmed by national outlets at launch.

Should you upgrade?

  • From last gen The jump to a larger 6500 mAh battery, brighter screen, and a dedicated telephoto camera is meaningful. If you value portraits and endurance, V60 is a solid step up from V50, especially with the longer update policy.
  • From a 2 year old phone Users on 2023 hardware will see clear gains in battery life, water resistance, and software support length. The camera suite is versatile for everyday photos and social content.
  • Budget focused buyers If sustained gaming speed is the priority, alternatives like OnePlus 13R or realme GT 7 deliver higher peak performance. If you want a balanced phone with strong endurance and reliable daylight imaging, V60 fits well.

If you want a dependable daily driver with an emphasis on portraits and battery life, this is an easy recommendation. Power users who want the fastest frames in demanding games should still look at performance-first alternatives.
