The “V” in Vivo used to stand for “Vivid” or “Visuals,” but with the new vivo V60 5G, it might as well stand for “Vengeance.” Launched in late 2025 and dominating the early 2026 market, this phone is a direct attack on the mid-range status quo. Starting at ₹36,999, it’s no longer just a “selfie phone.”

The real truth is, Vivo has stuffed a laptop-sized 6500mAh battery into a frame that’s thinner than most budget phones. But here’s the kicker: they’ve paired it with a ZEISS-backed telephoto lens, a move usually reserved for the ₹70,000+ “X” series. Is it the perfect all-rounder, or has Vivo cut corners in the performance department? Let’s find out.

2. DESIGN & BUILD (Deep Dive)

Vivo has pulled off a literal magic trick. Don’t waste your money on bulky “battery cases” because the V60 5G manages to be just 7.53mm thin despite that massive 6500mAh cell.

• In-hand feel: The “41-degree golden arc” curvature makes the phone melt into your palm. It weighs about 192 grams, which is impressively light given the battery capacity.
• Durability: This isn’t a fragile beauty. With IP68 and IP69 ratings, it can survive high-pressure water jets and being submerged in 1.5 meters of water for 30 minutes. The “Diamond Shield Glass” also claims a 37% improvement in drop resistance.

3. DISPLAY & VISUALS: A Brightness Beast

The 6.77-inch AMOLED panel isn’t just “good”—it’s blindingly bright.

• Brightness: It hits a local peak brightness of 5000 nits. Even under the direct 1 PM Indian sun in May, you won’t be squinting at your WhatsApp messages.
• Quality: The 1.5K resolution is the “sweet spot” between 1080p and 4K, saving battery while keeping text razor-sharp.

4. PERFORMANCE & GAMING: The Snapdragon 7 Gen 4

The real truth is, this isn’t a flagship-killer in terms of raw power. The Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 is a mid-range chip focused on efficiency.

• Daily Tasks: It’s butter-smooth. Apps like Instagram and Chrome open instantly.
• Gaming: In our BGMI test, the phone maintained a steady 60fps at ‘Smooth/Extreme’ settings. However, after 45 minutes of heavy play, we noticed a temperature jump of about 9°C. It’s not a “gaming phone,” but it handles 95% of users’ needs without a hiccup.

5. CAMERA: The ZEISS Magic

This is where the V60 5G justifies its price. It features a triple camera setup that actually works.

• Main Sensor: The 50MP Sony IMX766 with OIS takes stunning natural-looking photos.
• Telephoto: The 50MP Sony IMX882 telephoto lens is a game-changer for portraits. The skin tones are “ZEISS-tuned,” meaning they look realistic rather than the usual “over-beautified” Vivo style.
• Video: It supports 4K recording on both front and rear, making it a vlogger’s dream.

6. BATTERY & ENDURANCE: The 2-Day Phone

The 6500mAh battery is the star of the show.

7. THE COMPETITION (The 2026 Rivals)

vivo V60 5G vs. OnePlus 13R vs. Samsung Galaxy A56

• OnePlus 13R: Offers a faster Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip but fails in the camera department with a generic macro lens instead of a telephoto.
• Samsung Galaxy A56: Offers the best software update policy (6 years) but charges painfully slowly (45W) and has a much smaller 5000mAh battery.

Winner: vivo V60 5G wins for users who prioritize battery life and portrait photography over pure gaming performance.

8. FINAL VERDICT

Buy it if:

• You are tired of carrying a power bank (6500mAh is no joke).
• You take a lot of portraits and want that ZEISS look.
• You want a phone that looks and feels like a ₹1 Lakh flagship.

Skip it if:

• You are a hardcore competitive gamer (Look at the iQOO Neo series).
• You hate Funtouch OS and prefer a cleaner stock Android experience.
• You need wireless charging (Still missing here!).
