In a world where smartphones are expected to be all-in-one devices, the vivo V60 manages to stand out not just on paper, but in everyday use. After spending some time with it, I can confidently say this phone isn’t just about pushing specs; it’s about delivering a seamless and reliable experience that blends cutting-edge imaging, robust power, and durability.
The Star: 50MP ZEISS Super Telephoto Camera
The headline feature here is the 50MP ZEISS Super Telephoto Camera, which immediately sets the vivo V60 apart from many mid-premium rivals. With ZEISS optics and the ultra-sensitive Sony IMX882 sensor, the telephoto lens captures fine details even from a distance. The shots retain clarity without falling into the muddy texture problem that plagues many zoom lenses.
The f/2.65 ultra-large aperture also helps in low-light situations. I tested this during an evening skyline shot, and surprisingly, the images stayed sharp with a pleasing level of light retention, no excessive noise or blown highlights.
Portraiture Reimagined: ZEISS Multifocal Portrait
Portrait lovers will enjoy the ZEISS Multifocal Portrait modes, particularly the 85mm and 100mm focal lengths – in addition to the classic 23mm, 35mm, and 50mm. These simulate professional-grade portrait lenses, offering natural compression and creamy background blur. The 85mm option is perfect for half-body shots, producing cinematic depth, while the 100mm mode excels for tighter headshots, giving faces a timeless, studio-like quality.
Combined with vivo’s portrait tuning, skin tones look natural without over-smoothing, a refreshing shift from overly processed selfies we often see on smartphones.
Creative Freedom with AI Photography Tools
The vivo V60 isn’t just about static photos, it’s built for creativity. The AI Four-Season Portrait lets you instantly change the mood of your photos, whether you want a winter vibe or the warmth of autumn, without relying on third-party editing apps.
Then there’s AI Magic Move, which intelligently rearranges people or objects in your shot for better composition. While it sounds like a gimmick at first, I found it surprisingly useful when shooting group photos where someone inevitably stood out of place.

Meanwhile, the AI Image Expander impressed me the most. It smartly fills in the edges of cropped images, essentially extending the frame without looking artificial. For travel photos where you wish you had stepped back a little further, this is a game-changer.

Endurance Meets Speed: 6500mAh BlueVolt Battery + 90W FlashCharge
All these features would be wasted if the phone couldn’t last, but the 6500mAh BlueVolt Battery is a monster. During heavy use, the vivo V60 comfortably lasted me nearly two days. Even better, when I finally needed to recharge, the 90W FlashCharge juiced it back up quickly, going from 0 to 50% in around half an hour.
This combination means you won’t be hunting for outlets throughout the day, which is crucial for travelers and content creators alike.
Smooth Performance with Snapdragon Power
Under the hood, the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset handles multitasking with ease. Whether switching between the camera app, editing tools, or gaming, the vivo V60 stayed responsive. While it isn’t marketed as a gaming-first phone, it handled demanding titles without major frame drops, making it versatile beyond photography.
Built for the Elements: IP68 and IP69 Protection
Durability is another standout. The IP68 and IP69 dust and water resistance means the vivo V60 can survive more than the occasional splash, it can handle rain, dust, and even submersion scenarios. For someone who shoots outdoors often, that peace of mind is invaluable.
Final Thoughts
The vivo V60 strikes a rare balance: it’s a photographer’s dream without compromising on power, battery, or durability. The 50MP ZEISS Super Telephoto Camera sets new standards for mobile zoom, while features like ZEISS Multifocal Portrait and AI photography tools make it versatile and fun.
