Vivo V60 Launch in India

Yesterday was the Vivo V60 Launch in India and honestly, the price shocked everyone. ₹36,999 gets you ZEISS cameras, which usually only shows up on phones costing twice as much. They launched it August 12th with zero fanfare. They just put it in stores and called it a day.

Vivo V60 Release Date and Pricing Details

The phone went on sale immediately after announcement. No pre-order or waiting lists like other brands pull. Walk into any phone store today and you can buy one.

₹36,999 buys the base model, though Vivo hasn’t said what the higher storage versions cost yet. Considering ZEISS partnership phones usually start around ₹60,000, this pricing feels almost too good to be true.

Flipkart, Amazon, and Vivo’s own stores all have stock. Online shopping works fine, but seeing the phone in person at retail stores helps since photos don’t show the actual build quality.

Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 Powers Vivo V60 Performance

Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 runs the show here, paired with either 8GB, 12GB, or 16GB RAM. The 16GB option is overkill for most people, but having that much memory means apps stay loaded in background without refreshing constantly.

Storage tops out at 512GB, which should hold thousands of photos and dozens of games without running out of space. The chip handles 5G networks across India’s expanding coverage areas.

Gaming works well enough for popular titles like PUBG Mobile or Call of Duty Mobile. Won’t match flagship Snapdragon 8 series performance, but daily tasks and moderate gaming run smoothly.

ZEISS Camera System Makes Vivo V60 Stand Out

Four cameras total – three on the back, one selfie camera up front. The ZEISS partnership means better color science and sharper optics than typical mid-range phone cameras.

Main camera uses a 50MP sensor with ZEISS T* coating to reduce reflections. The 8MP ultrawide handles group photos and landscapes. Another 50MP telephoto camera provides 2x optical zoom without that terrible digital zoom quality.

Front camera also hits 50MP, which seems excessive until you try taking selfies in low light. More megapixels help when software combines multiple shots for cleaner images.

ZEISS tuning shows up in portrait mode especially. Background blur looks more natural instead of that fake cutout effect cheaper phones produce.

Massive 6,500mAh Vivo V60 Battery Life

Battery size hits 6,500mAh while keeping the phone relatively thin. Most phones with batteries this big feel like carrying a brick, but Vivo somehow kept reasonable thickness.

Two full days of use should be easy with normal texting, social media, and some video watching. Even heavy users probably get through one complete day without hunting for chargers.

Charging speed wasn’t mentioned in launch details, which usually means it’s nothing special. Probably around 44W or 66W fast charging based on other Vivo phones.

Premium Design Meets Durability

The 6.77-inch screen uses Schott Xensation Core glass instead of regular Gorilla Glass. Schott glass resists scratches better and feels more premium when swiping.

IP68 and IP69 ratings mean water and dust can’t kill this phone. IP69 protection is actually higher than most expensive flagships, which stop at IP68. You could probably wash it under the kitchen faucet if needed.

Build quality looks solid from early hands-on videos. The camera bump isn’t a lot, and the overall design stays pretty clean without weird colors or patterns.

Vivo V60 Launch Event and Availability

Vivo streamed the Vivo V60 Launch in India on YouTube at noon yesterday. Simple presentation focused on specs and features instead of dramatic marketing. The whole event lasted about 30 minutes.

Every major electronics store in India got stock immediately. Croma, Reliance Digital, and local phone shops all have units ready to sell today.

Early buyer reviews mention the cameras really do perform better than expected for this price range. ZEISS partnership seems legit instead of just marketing fluff like some brand collaborations turn out to be.
