Vivo’s V series has always struck a fine balance between beauty, performance, and value — and the new vivo V60 continues that tradition with style. Known for its sleek aesthetics, capable cameras, and wallet-friendly price tag, the V series has long been the brand’s crowd-pleaser. With the V60, vivo once again proves that you don’t need to splurge to enjoy a premium-looking phone that performs reliably well in daily use. It’s designed for those who appreciate elegance without excess, and practicality without compromise.
Carrying on that tradition of elegance, the vivo V60 is a phone that truly looks as good as it feels. At just 7.53mm thick, it boasts a slim and refined profile that slips effortlessly into your hand or pocket — the kind of design that reminds you why vivo’s V series is often praised for its aesthetics. The unit I have for review is the stunning Berry Purple variant, featuring a soft matte finish that not only resists fingerprints but also catches light in a subtle, almost silky way. For those who prefer something more understated, there’s also a Mist Gray option that exudes quiet sophistication.
Flip the phone over, and the vivo V60’s front side is just as impressive. The 6.77-inch AMOLED display stretches almost edge to edge, with incredibly narrow bezels that make the screen feel larger than it actually is. It looks crisp, vibrant, and fluid thanks to its FHD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. Whether I’m scrolling through social media, watching videos, or editing photos, everything looks remarkably sharp and buttery smooth.

What really stood out, though, is its staggering 5,000 nits peak brightness — making the screen perfectly visible even under Singapore’s blazing afternoon sun. It’s clear vivo isn’t just going for looks here; the V60’s display feels every bit as premium as some flagship phones that cost twice as much.
Powering the vivo V60 is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset, which strikes a great balance between efficiency and everyday power. Paired with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, it handles multitasking, gaming, and media use with impressive ease. I didn’t notice any stutters or slowdowns even with multiple apps running — everything just feels quick and responsive.

Vivo also equipped the phone with an Ultra Large VC Smart Cooling System, which does a solid job keeping temperatures in check during long gaming sessions or heavy camera use. Audio quality gets a nice boost too, thanks to the dual stereo speakers that deliver fuller, more immersive sound. Rounding things out is a massive 6,500mAh battery that easily powers through a full day (and often more) on a single charge, with 90W fast charging ready to top it up in no time.
And when it comes to photography, the vivo V60 really shows what the V series is known for. The 50MP main camera with OIS captures crisp, detailed shots with excellent dynamic range, even in tricky lighting conditions. Colours come out vibrant yet natural, and the optical stabilization ensures sharp results, especially for handheld night shots.
What’s even more impressive is the inclusion of a 50MP Super Telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom — a feature rarely seen in this price range. It delivers clear and well-balanced zoomed shots without the typical loss of detail. Complementing the setup is an 8MP ultra-wide camera, perfect for landscapes or group photos, maintaining good consistency with the main lens.
All in all, at S$699, the vivo V60 hits a sweet spot where premium features meet thoughtful value. With a slim, stylish design, standout display, dependable performance, and long-lasting battery, it delivers more than you’d expect from its price. If you’re after a smartphone that looks and works like a higher-end handset — without stretching your budget — the V60 should definitely be on your radar.
