Vivo has officially launched its latest mid-range smartphone in India, the Vivo V60 5G, aimed at users who want premium features without paying flagship-level prices. The new smartphone enters India’s highly competitive smartphone market at a time when consumers are increasingly looking for better cameras, longer battery life, and dependable long-term software support. With millions of Indians upgrading their phones every year, Vivo is positioning the V60 as a strong all-rounder for photography lovers, content creators, and everyday users alike.
The Vivo V60 marks a noticeable upgrade over its predecessor, bringing improvements in performance, imaging, battery capacity, and software longevity. The smartphone will go on sale starting August 19 and will be available through Vivo’s official website, major e-commerce platforms, and authorised retail stores across India. With prices starting under Rs. 40,000, Vivo is clearly targeting buyers who want a premium smartphone experience without crossing into flagship pricing territory.
Display and Design: Premium Look with Curved AMOLED Panel
The Vivo V60 features a 6.77-inch AMOLED display with quad-curved edges that flow smoothly into the phone’s frame. The screen offers a 1.5K resolution along with a 120Hz refresh rate, ensuring smooth scrolling, fluid animations, and a responsive touch experience. Whether users are browsing social media, gaming, or streaming content, the display is designed to feel fast and immersive.
One of the highlights of the screen is its impressive 5,000 nits of local peak brightness, which makes the display easy to view even under harsh sunlight. This places the Vivo V60 among the brightest smartphones in its price range. Despite packing a large battery, the phone maintains a slim profile and weighs around 192 grams, with slight variations depending on the colour option.
Vivo is offering the V60 in Mist Grey, Auspicious Gold, and Moonlit Blue, catering to different style preferences. The curved display and clean design give the device a premium look and feel, while the ergonomic build makes it comfortable for long hours of use, whether for work or entertainment.
Performance and Hardware: Built for Everyday Power Users
Under the hood, the Vivo V60 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 processor, built on a 4nm process. This chipset is designed to deliver a balance of solid performance and power efficiency, making it suitable for daily tasks, multitasking, and casual gaming. Apps open quickly, switching between tasks feels smooth, and overall performance remains stable during regular use.
The smartphone comes with LPDDR4x RAM options ranging from 8GB to 16GB, allowing users to handle multiple apps without slowdowns. Storage options go up to 512GB with UFS 2.2 technology, offering faster read and write speeds compared to older storage standards. This makes the V60 a good choice for users who store large photo libraries, shoot videos, or install many apps.
Camera Setup: ZEISS Optics Take Centre Stage
Photography is one of the Vivo V60’s biggest strengths. The phone features a ZEISS-branded triple rear camera setup, led by a 50-megapixel Sony IMX766 primary sensor with optical image stabilisation (OIS). This helps reduce blur and improve image clarity, especially in low-light conditions.
Alongside the main camera, the phone includes a 50-megapixel Sony IMX882 telephoto lens for zoom shots and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera for landscapes and group photos. On the front, Vivo has added a 50-megapixel selfie camera, making it ideal for selfies, video calls, and content creation.
Both the front and rear cameras support 4K video recording, which will appeal to vloggers and social media creators. The ZEISS partnership also brings enhanced image processing and better colour tuning, helping the V60 stand out among camera-focused smartphones in its segment.
Battery and Charging: Big Battery, Faster Top-Ups
The Vivo V60 packs a large 6,500mAh battery, which is bigger than what most phones in this price range offer. This battery is designed to comfortably last a full day, even with heavy usage that includes gaming, video streaming, and constant connectivity.
To complement the big battery, Vivo has included 90W wired fast charging, allowing users to quickly top up the phone when time is limited. The device also comes with IP68 and IP69 ratings, offering strong protection against dust and water. Security is handled by an in-display optical fingerprint sensor, adding convenience and safety.
Software, AI Features, and Long-Term Updates
The Vivo V60 runs Funtouch OS 15, based on Android 15, and comes with several AI-powered features. These include AI Image Expander, AI Smart Call Assistant, AI Captioning, and AI-based spam call detection, all designed to improve everyday usability.
What truly sets the Vivo V60 apart is Vivo’s update promise. The company has confirmed four major Android updates, taking the phone up to Android 19, along with six years of security patches. This level of software support is rare in the mid-premium segment and adds significant long-term value.
Price in India and Market Position
The Vivo V60 starts at Rs. 36,999 for the 8GB RAM + 128GB storage variant. Other options include 8GB/256GB at Rs. 38,999, 12GB/256GB at Rs. 40,999, and a top-end 16GB/512GB model priced at Rs. 45,999.
With strong cameras, a massive battery, premium display, and long software support, the Vivo V60 positions itself as a compelling mid-premium smartphone choice for Indian buyers looking for value without compromise.
