The vivo V60 has officially landed in India, and this time the brand isn’t just chasing numbers, it’s building an experience that feels complete from the moment you pick it up to the moment you put it down at night. Every curve, every sensor, every AI feature seems to have been placed with intent.
And as someone who’s followed the V series for years, I can confidently say: this is the most rounded, most personal V-series phone yet. Let’s break down the V60’s core pillars, starting with its redesigned camera system and ZEISS optics, moving into the immersive display experience, and then diving into the performance and AI features that make day-to-day use feel effortless. By the end, you’ll see why the vivo V60 is a phone that feels personal.
Design That Feels Tailored for Your Hands and Eyes
You can’t talk about the V60 without starting with how impossibly slim it is for what’s inside. The phone houses a massive 6,500 mAh battery, the largest in V-series history, yet measures just 0.753 cm in Mist Grey, 0.765 cm in Auspicious Gold, and 0.775 cm in Moonlit Blue. That makes it officially the slimmest smartphone in India with this battery size.
The Slim Quad Curved Display isn’t just about looks, it’s about the feel. The 41° golden curvature on all four corners melts into your hand whether you’re watching a long YouTube session in landscape or quickly scrolling Instagram vertically.
The bezels are razor-thin, as in 0.191 cm on the top, 0.186 cm on the sides, and 0.241 cm at the bottom, but because of the micro-curved front and back, they look even slimmer. And that effect isn’t just for show; it draws your focus into the content, making the screen feel boundless.
The camera module design is minimalistic, covering less than nine percent of the back. This matters because it lets the chosen color shine through, and speaking of colors, vivo has treated each one like a narrative.
Moonlit Blue reflects like water under moonlight, evoking the poetic calm of a wedding night sky. Mist Grey is quiet, understated, and professional. And Auspicious Gold is a symbol of prosperity and blessings, designed to fit perfectly into traditional ceremonies and yet give an elegant and premium look.
A Display That’s More Than Just Pretty Numbers
The 17.20 cm (6.77 inches) AMOLED display on the V60 is an absolute showpiece. It pushes brightness to a record 5,000 nits in local peak mode, meaning even under the harshest midday sun, your WhatsApp messages and camera previews remain perfectly visible. In global high-brightness mode, it reaches 1,500 nits, which is still higher than most flagships manage.
It covers the P3 wide color gamut for vibrant yet natural hues, and hardware-level low blue light (certified by SGS) means it’s gentle on your eyes during marathon Netflix binges or late-night reading. The 120 Hz refresh rate is the icing on the cake, making every swipe, animation, and game feel silky smooth.
Cameras That Can Handle Anything You Throw at Them
The V60’s camera system reads like a pro photographer’s wish list, and uses ZEISS optics to make it happen. Here is the complete setup:
- 50 MP ZEISS OIS main camera
- 50 MP ZEISS Super Telephoto camera
- 8MP ZEISS ultra-wide camera
- 50MP ZEISS Group Selfie camera
The main camera is a 50 MP Sony IMX766 sensor (1/1.56-inch), equipped with OIS. It delivers colors that feel punchy, dynamic range that keeps bright and dark areas balanced, and a noticeable reduction in image noise. Thus, low-light performance is also stunning, making it perfect for wedding photography.
The second headline feature is the 50 MP ZEISS Super Telephoto camera, using the Sony IMX882 sensor, the same one found in vivo’s flagship X200. It delivers 3X optical zoom and stretches up to 100X digitally. This is perhaps the best zoom camera in its segment.
The periscope setup here is special: instead of a traditional L-shaped prism, vivo uses a trapezoidal prism with an M-shaped light path. This lets light bounce three times inside the prism, achieving the zoom range without making the module thicker. The difference in real-world use is striking, even at high zoom, details stay sharp, and OIS keeps shots stable.
There’s also an 8 MP ZEISS ultra-wide-angle camera with a 120° field of view, which is perfect for architecture, landscapes, or group photos. Despite being 8 MP, the detail retention is far better than typical low-res ultra-wides.
On the front, the 50 MP ZEISS Group Selfie Camera is a gem. With a 92° wide angle and autofocus, it’s perfect for vlogging, fitting big groups, or even getting creative low-angle shots. And thanks to the high resolution, you can even crop in your selfies without losing any significant detail.
The vivo V60 also supports 4K recording, both on the rear and the front. The videos captured are ultra-clear and vibrant, perfect for casual use or even weddings. Whether front or back, the 4K footage here is great, with crisp edges and smooth motion.
Portraits Like You’ve Never Seen on a Phone with ZEISS Multifocal Portrait System
One of the V60’s most addictive features is ZEISS Multifocal Portrait. It packs five iconic ZEISS focal lengths into the camera app, each paired with a distinct bokeh style:
- 23mm Distagon for dramatic landscapes with hexagonal bokeh.
- 35mm B-Speed for retro street shots with signature triangular bokeh.
- 50mm Biotar for swirling, cat’s-eye bokeh (my personal favorite; it turns an ordinary portrait into art).
- 85mm Sonnar for warm, emotional portraits with creamy blur.
- 100mm Planar for intimate close-ups.
Switching between these feels less like changing phone modes and more like swapping real lenses on a DSLR. Here are some samples for you to check out, all taken on the vivo V60, and straight out of the camera.
10X Telephoto Stage Portraits
But what if you are too far from the subject? No worries. The vivo V60 is prepared for that. The 10X Telephoto Stage Portrait mode is made for exactly that. vivo’s algorithms lock on to faces and clothing textures even from the back of a hall, preserving skin tones and color accuracy.
An AI Suite That’s Actually Helpful
The AI feature set on the V60 isn’t just a checklist of features that you’d never used; rather, it’s designed to solve real problems. These features are genuinely useful and fun, making the AI experience better than ever.
AI Four Season Portrait lets you add seasonal moods to any photo. Want a winter vibe with falling snow over a summer street shot? Done. Each season, Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, comes with its own AI adjustments. The depth mapping is smart enough to wrap effects naturally around people and objects, so it looks real, not pasted on.
AI Image Expander is perfect for reframing shots. Say you took a great portrait but cropped too tight. The AI analyzes the scene, understands textures and patterns, and intelligently extends the image to create a balanced composition. It’s also great for social media where different platforms need different aspect ratios.
AI Smart Call Assistant is like having a personal interpreter and secretary in one. During calls, it can live-transcribe everything being said, translate foreign languages instantly, and even read translations aloud in real time. Once the call ends, one tap generates a clean summary of key points, great for business calls, interviews, or even keeping track of service requests.
AI Captions takes the stress out of meetings. It transcribes the entire conversation live, translates when needed, and pulls out bullet-point highlights. Imagine joining a multilingual conference call, and you see everything in your language as it’s said, and you leave with a concise recap ready to send to your team.
Block Spam Calls on the vivo V60 isn’t just a basic filter. It uses a global AI-powered database to flag fraud, telemarketing, and scam calls before you even pick up. You can block specific categories of calls with one tap, cutting out interruptions without risking important contacts.
Circle to Search integrates directly into the OS, just circle anything on your screen (text, image, product) and get instant, relevant search results without switching apps. Not just Circle to Search, the vivo V60 also comes with Gemini with Gemini Live support, which you can trigger by holding the power button.
Performance That Won’t Slow You Down
Under the hood, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 gives the V60 a significant boost, 27% faster CPU, 30% faster GPU, and 26% better gaming efficiency over its predecessor. It’s snappy in daily use, handles demanding games with ease, and even holds up under extended 4K video recording. The thermal system keeps heat under control, so performance stays consistent.
Battery and Charging That Feel Limitless
That 6,500 mAh cell on the vivo V60 doesn’t just sound big, but it also delivers. Even with heavy camera use, I ended most days with 25 to 30% left. And when it’s time to charge, 90W FlashCharge support means you can go from near-empty to hours of use in just a few minutes. This combo makes the V60 a perfect travel or wedding/event companion.
Built Like It Means Business
The V60’s IP68 and IP69 ratings mean it’s dust-tight, water-resistant up to 1.5 m for 2 hours, and can handle high-pressure water jets, not just the occasional splash. Schott Core Glass boosts drop resistance by 37%, and the Comprehensive Cushioning Structure with raised frame corners helps absorb shocks from every angle. Thus, the vivo V60 is a slim, elegant phone that doesn’t need babying.
India’s Exclusive Wedding vLog
This feature deserves its own spotlight. Built into the MicroMovie mode, it lets you shoot clips throughout a wedding day and have the phone automatically stitch them into a cinematic video, complete with music, LUTs, and transitions. The color tones are tuned for Indian ceremonies; they’re warm, vibrant, and emotionally rich. You don’t need any editing apps or wait for long render times; just ready-to-share memories.
Conclusion
The vivo V60 brings the V-series to a new level of refinement. Its slim yet durable design, powerful ZEISS camera system, immersive display, and genuinely useful AI tools come together to create a phone that feels purposeful in every detail.
Add in strong performance, exceptional battery life, and charging that keeps you moving, and you’re looking at a device that’s ready for anything, from your daily grind to those once-in-a-lifetime moments like weddings. If you’ve been waiting for a phone that looks premium, works seamlessly, and adapts to you, the V60 could very well be your next one.
