6 killer features of the vivo V60 - Better performance and ZEISS Portaits?

Known for more affordable ZEISS-powered portraits, vivo's Series just got upgraded last night in the form of vivo V60.

The vivo V60

To recap, the vivo V60 packs a 120Hz 6.77-inch FHD+ AMOLED panel, a 2.8GHz Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 SoC, 12GB RAM, 256GB/512GB storage, 6,500mAh battery + 90W USB-C charging.

It also boasts 50MP + 8MP + 50MP rear cameras with a ZEISS lens and Aura Light.

6 best features of the vivo V60

1. Reinforced build quality/stylish phone design - vivo added a Full-Body Drop protection to the V60 by using a comprehensive cushioning structure. This makes the phone able to handle some accidental drops up to a certain height, thus minimizing anxiety for clumsy users.

While its durability has been greatly improved, vivo doesn't compromise on style. It comes with the sexy-looking Berry Grape colorway, Misty Gray, Auspicious Gold, and Moonlit Blue.

2. Slim form factor + big battery bump - The vivo V60 got a 6,500mAh battery capacity paired with a USB-C 90W fast charger. That's 500mAh up from the predecessor.

And while it got a larger battery inside, vivo managed to still give it a sleek figure measuring at just 7.54mm.

The display

3. Brighter and durable display - The vivo V60 features a 6.77-inch Diamond Shield Glass-protected quad curved AMOLED. It retains the FHD+ 2392 x 1080 resolution and the 120Hz refresh rate, but gets a significantly brighter peak brightness reaching up to 5,000 nits.

This will provide users with better visibility under the sunlight, making it more usable for your afternoon photo walks.

4. More powerful chip and large storage options - vivo used the SD7G3 chip for 3 generations in the V-series. But not this time, as the V60 now uses a much more powerful Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 octa-core chip with a 2.8GHz clock speed and 4nm process.

It is also paired with a 12GB LPDDR4X RAM and 256GB or 512GB memory options, although the UFS 2.2 storage might give you a frown.

The cameras with a ZEISS lens

5. Enhanced ZEISS telephoto portraits - This device features a 50MP f/1.88 Sony IMX766 main shooter with AF and OIS for the main camera.

The ultra-wide has been toned down to 8MP from 50MP of the V50, but vivo replaced it with a proper telephoto sensor. The V60 now uses a 50MP Sony IMX882 large sensor with f/2.65 aperture, 3x telephoto, and can be enhanced up to 10x lossless digital zoom thanks to the power of  AI.

We have yet to try this, but those are promising numbers.

6. More AI features to boost productivity - vivo's Artificial Intelligence is powered by Google's Gemini, bringing AI captions, AI SuperLink for a better 360-degree signal, AI Summary to write quick notes for you, and Smart Call Assistant.

Furthermore, it has an AI Four-Season portrait that transforms your subject's background into winter, autumn, spring, or summer scenes.

The AI Magic Move allows users to reposition subjects in the image, while the AI Image Expander can extend the background intelligently, giving more space to your desired photo.
