Ever tried to push a mid-range phone to its gaming limits? We did, and the vivo V60 5G gave us answers—sometimes smooth, sometimes shaky, but always interesting. With its Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset, 120 Hz display, and 5G connectivity, the V60 5G promises mid-range power, but how does it really hold up when you throw popular games like Genshin Impact, Mobile Legends, and Honkai: Star Rail at it?
Many gamers in the Philippines rely on mid-range devices for mobile gaming. Understanding which titles run well on the vivo V60 5G helps consumers decide if it’s worth picking up, especially for competitive or heavy RPG play.
Mobile Legends: Bang Bang
On Mobile Legends, the V60 5G performed surprisingly well. We set the graphics to high and enabled 90 fps mode where available. In long sessions, the game hovered around 89–90 fps on the 120 Hz panel. Gameplay was smooth with no major frame drops, making ranked climbs and team fights enjoyable. Thermal throttling was minimal, even after multiple matches in a row.
Genshin Impact
Genshin Impact pushed the V60 5G harder. Using medium to high settings, we observed average frame rates around 40–60 fps. Light exploration and small skirmishes felt smooth, but crowded areas or boss fights caused dips into the 30s–40s. The phone stayed reasonably warm, but it’s clear the V60 isn’t designed for maxed-out open-world performance. Adjusting settings can make the experience more stable.
Honkai: Star Rail
Honkai: Star Rail was the easiest test for the V60 5G. The game ran smoothly on medium to high settings, with stable frame rates and minimal thermal impact. Being turn-based, it’s light on the GPU, so this one practically hummed along without issue.
| Game | Recommended Settings | Observed FPS | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mobile Legends | High graphics, 90 fps | ~89–90 fps | Smooth, stable, minimal heat |
| Genshin Impact | Medium/High | ~40–60 fps | Drops in crowded areas, playable with minor adjustments |
| Honkai: Star Rail | Medium/High | Stable | Turn-based, very smooth, minimal thermal load |
The vivo V60 5G shows that mid-range devices can handle mobile gaming better than expected. Competitive titles like Mobile Legends are playable at near-flagship levels, while graphically heavy games like Genshin Impact are more limited but still manageable. Lighter games like Honkai: Star Rail run effortlessly.
