The vivo V60 is here to continue the legacy of smartphones popular for their ultra-sleek designs, impressively long battery life, and incredible photography prowess backed by renowned optics company ZEISS.
Now that it has arrived in the Philippines, we’ll check out the top features of the new vivo V60 to see if it was able to uphold the reputation the series is known for.
50MP ZEISS Super Telephoto Camera
Known for its photography prowess, vivo ensured the V series continues to be a dependable photography tool by equipping the vivo V50 with powerful camera hardware co-engineered by ZEISS.
It boasts a 50-megapixel ZEISS Super Telephoto Camera, which uses the same Sony IMX882 flagship sensor found on the vivo X200 FE.
Paired with an f/2.65 aperture and up to 100x zoom, it can capture faraway subjects with great clarity. Perfect for watching concerts, festivals, and other big events.
The vivo V60 has not one, not two, but three 50-megapixel main cameras. The main sensor uses an IMX766 sensor with optical image stabilization, while the one on the front has a 92-degree wide-angle lens — all are also co-engineered by ZEISS.
ZEISS Multifocal Portrait
Made to take your next best portrait, the vivo V60 has ZEISS Multifocal Portrait modes, which mimics classic and expensive ZEISS lenses so they are easily available right within your pocket.
There are many modes to choose from: 23mm ZEISS Distagon, 35mm ZEISS B-Speed, 50mm ZEISS Biotar, 85mm ZEISS Sonnar, 100mm ZEISS Planar, and more.
One of our favorites is the Cine-flare, which adds a flare to your portraits, resulting in a cinematic look. Just make sure you have the right composition and you can get a realistic look.
All these modes create a distinct look and ensure your subject and the background is perfectly captured.
AI Four Seasons Portrait, Magic Move, Image Expander
It’s not a modern smartphone without AI doing a fantastic job of helping you get more creative with your photos. The vivo V60 is equipped with three interesting AI features, and the one we found really interesting is the AI Four-Season Portrait.
By going to the Camera app, Portrait, then tapping AI, you’d be able to choose different effects that mimic different seasons from other countries — allowing you to take your photos to the next level without ever leaving the country.
Take a photo with trees and see how the leaves transform as if it’s the Spring, Summer, Autumn, or Winter.
The AI Magic Move uses the power of AI so you can reposition your subject after the shot is taken, whether it’s a human or objects.
The AI Image Expander lets you convert a landscape photo to a portrait and vice versa. It can come in handy if you want to post a landscape photo as a story or frame your shots better.
Having the level of freedom that AI unlocks guarantees that everything you post online looks good and in line with your vision, no matter how you took it.
6500mAh BlueVolt Battery with 90W FlashCharge
What we really love about the vivo V series is how they always provide good battery life while having one of the sleekest designs in the market.
The vivo V60 is one of the thinnest phones we’ve had in a while measuring at just 7.6mm. Paired with the smooth curves on all sides and corners, the V60 feels phenomenal to hold, making it easy and comfortable to use all day long.
With all that, would you believe that vivo was able to cram an enormous 6,500mAh BlueVolt battery in here? What’s more, vivo claims the battery remains healthy even after 4 years of daily use. That’s all thanks to the latest 3rd-gen silicon carbon anode tech.
vivo phones have always had great battery scores in our reviews, and we expect nothing less from this one. vivo said it can last for up to 9 hours of navigation or 22 hours of watching YouTube.
It’s been aptly paired with flagship-grade 90W FlashCharge, which can provide a full charge in only about an hour.
IP68/IP69 dust and water resistant
More than having a chic look, the vivo V60 was forged to survive the challenges of day-to-day life.
The vivo V60 is IP68 and IP69 certified, a rating it received after rigorous tests to see how resistant it is against dust and water. In fact, vivo claims it can survive being submerged underwater up to 1.5 meters for 120 minutes.
It also has a Water Ejection feature that plays high-frequency sound from the speakers to expel water or dust.
What’s more, the vivo V60 has a Comprehensive Cushioning Structure and New Diamond Shield Glass that provides protection against accidental drops.
Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 processor
vivo has upgraded the vivo V60 to a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 processor. Apart from its good battery efficiency, the new chip offers 27% faster CPU performance and 30% better GPU than its predecessor.
It also provides 26% improvements in gaming efficiency, which is a welcome upgrade if you’re coming from the vivo V50.
