What’s inside the box? It’s the standard fare with the package vivo Philippines sent us, as the box included the phone itself, a TPU case in the same color as the device, a 90W FlashCharge adapter, documents, a USB-A to USB-C data and charging cable, and the SIM tray ejector tool.
Design and Construction

The vivo V60 stands out with its ultra-narrow bezel quad curved screen, giving it a premium edge in hand. At 7.53mm thin and 192 grams (for gray), it feels surprisingly lightweight for a phone packing a 6500mAh battery. The slightly heavier colored versions (200g) still manage to stay balanced.


Its IP68 and IP69 rating means it’s built to endure everyday mishaps—whether that’s a coffee spill at work or sudden rain outdoors. The color options add personality, with Berry Purple and Summer Blue bringing flair, while Mist Gray stays subtle for those who prefer a classic look.

Holding the phone for long hours, such as during road trips or gaming sessions, doesn’t feel tiring thanks to its ergonomic curves. The build quality is reassuring, and the curved glass meets the frame seamlessly, making it both stylish and comfortable.
Display and Audio
The 6.77-inch AMOLED panel supports 120Hz refresh rate, delivering smooth navigation, scrolling, and gaming. The curved edges add immersion when watching shows or browsing, though some may prefer flat panels for grip. The resolution (2392×1080) is sharp enough for video streaming and gaming. Brightness levels are good for outdoor use, holding up well even under direct sunlight.

Dual stereo speakers make movies and music more engaging, and while they don’t replace external speakers, they are a solid addition for casual entertainment. Voices sound clear during calls, and game audio feels more immersive with stereo separation. For those who watch content on the go, the combination of display and audio creates a complete experience.
Camera
Cameras are where the vivo V60 shines brightest. The ZEISS partnership brings the 50MP main and 50MP telephoto sensors, with the latter borrowing the flagship-grade IMX882 sensor from the vivo X200 FE. With OIS, telephoto shots are steadier, even at high zoom levels. The super telephoto camera offers up to 100x zoom, making it practical for concerts, festivals, and sporting events.

Portrait photography gets special treatment with ZEISS Multifocal Portrait, now offering 23mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, and 100mm focal lengths. This versatility helps frame subjects in different ways, from wider environmental portraits to striking close-up shots with strong background blur. Having these options makes the camera more adaptable to real-world situations, whether you’re capturing group photos, solo portraits, or candid moments.
The 50MP front camera with autofocus ensures selfies stay sharp, even in low light or when holding the phone at awkward angles. It’s a strong feature for content creators and those who rely heavily on video calls.
AI photography tools extend creativity further. AI Four Seasons Portrait simulates seasonal looks, perfect for giving your images a different mood. AI Magic Move lets you shift subjects in photos for better composition, and AI Image Expander intelligently fills frames to widen your shot. These aren’t just gimmicks—they provide new ways to personalize photos without the need for external editing apps.
Performance (Software, Hardware, and Connectivity)
Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, the vivo V60 gets a 27% CPU boost, 30% better GPU performance, and improved gaming efficiency compared to its predecessor. As we used the device the past few weeks, we experienced smooth app switching, responsive multitasking, and reliable gaming even on graphics-intensive titles. Games like Genshin Impact and PUBG Mobile run well on medium to high settings, with minimal stutter and warmup at the upper back part.

The Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 also ensures energy efficiency, complementing the large battery for longer usage times. Streaming, browsing, and video calls all run without hiccups. With a 12GB RAM and starages ranging from 256GB to 512GB, the performance feels solidly in the upper mid-range tier. Connectivity is reliable with 5G, while Wi-Fi speeds and Bluetooth pairing work as expected.
Battery and Charging
Battery endurance is one of the vivo V60’s biggest strengths. The 6500mAh BlueVolt battery claims five times the energy density of standard batteries, and in daily use, it delivers. From morning commutes, video calls, gaming, and evening streaming, the phone comfortably lasts a day and a half without reaching for the charger. Heavy users can still get through a full day.
Charging is equally impressive with 90W FlashCharge, taking the phone from zero to 25% in just 20 minutes. Full charges are quick, cutting downtime significantly. Features like Super Battery Saver and Bypass Charging extend battery health and provide options for safer charging habits. This makes the V60 a trustworthy device for travel, work, or long days out.
The Rundown
The vivo V60 is for users who want a balance of strong camera capabilities, reliable performance, and all-day endurance. It’s particularly appealing to photography lovers, social media users, and anyone who spends long hours away from a charger. Its combination of ZEISS optics, massive battery, and durable design makes it versatile enough for daily work, travel, and entertainment.
The vivo V60 is priced at PHP 28,999 for the 256GB storage variant, while a bigger 512GB variant is priced at PHP 30,999. You can pre-order the device until September 12 for up to PHP 2,500 worth of discounts, more than PHP 8,000 worth of freebies including a 6-month broken screen replacement and a limited edition vivo TWS earbuds.
