vivo V60 5G: 'Portrait expert' with long-lasting battery and intentional trade-offs

In an increasingly saturated mid-high-end smartphone market, vivo V60 5G has chosen its own path, not following the configuration race but focusing on two core experience factors: Portrait camera system in collaboration with ZEISS and almost unbeatable battery life in the segment.

Premium design and battery technology "worth every penny"

From the moment you hold it in your hand, the vivo V60 5G gives you a premium and sophisticated feel, surpassing many competitors in the same segment. The device has a slim and light design, combined with a matte glass back that is anti-fingerprint and a slightly curved screen on all four sides. These details usually only appear on more expensive flagship lines. In addition, the edges are also softly curved, creating a comfortable feeling when in hand.

vivo V60 5G has a "unisex" design, suitable for both male and female users.

But the most amazing thing is inside. vivo has succeeded in integrating a battery capacity of up to 6,500mAh into such a slim body. This is a technical step forward, made possible by the new generation BlueVolt (Silicon-Carbon Anode) battery technology, which allows the battery cells to have a significantly higher energy density. As a result, the phone solves the biggest worry of modern users: running out of battery, while still maintaining a slim "body".

In real-life experience, the V60 5G easily lasts one and a half to two days of use with normal tasks. Even with heavy usage, the device confidently lasts a full day with a screen-on time of up to 10-12 hours. This freedom from worrying about charging the battery, combined with the included 90W fast charging and smart features such as branch charging while gaming, has taken the V60 5G's power experience to a new level. In addition, the highest IP68/IP69 water and dust resistance standard further reinforces the value of a device built to last.

ZEISS Camera: When portrait photography is an absolute priority

If battery life is the foundation, the camera system is the "soul" of the vivo V60 5G and may be the most attractive factor of this model. The partnership with ZEISS brings more than just a logo on the lens, but a serious investment in both hardware and software.

The hardware of the device is impressive with the main camera 50 MP (Sony IMX766 sensor) and especially the telephoto camera 50 MP (Sony IMX882 sensor) supporting 3x optical zoom. Both are equipped with OIS optical image stabilization, a powerful hardware configuration that allows for better low-light photography and long zoom without loss of sharpness.

vivo has emerged as one of the smartphone companies that seriously invests in camera experience today, whether in the mid-range or high-end segment.

However, the real difference lies in the portrait photography experience. The V60 5G offers a professional photography toolkit with 5 classic portrait focal lengths (23mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, 100mm), giving users the creative freedom they would expect from a professional camera.

The most unique highlight is the bokeh effects that simulate the optical properties of legendary ZEISS lenses such as Biotar or Planar. These effects create a blurred background with depth and artistic texture, bringing a "cinematic" quality to the image that conventional bokeh algorithms can hardly reproduce.

In an era where AI has become indispensable on smartphones, vivo has made good use of what it has by providing many artificial intelligence customizations for users to unleash their creativity with the V60 5G. From 4-season color filters to smart beauty capabilities, enhancing image quality, smoothly removing redundant objects... all are available, helping users get the photos they want without needing advanced editing skills or additional tools.

Portrait mode photography is the strength of vivo V60 5G, with 5 different focal lengths, specialized for each situation.

Skin color reproduction is also a big plus, with natural, vibrant tones that aren’t overly smoothed. The 50MP selfie camera with autofocus (AF) also ensures sharp portraits.

However, to focus all its efforts on the main and telephoto cameras, vivo had to accept a big sacrifice: The ultra-wide-angle camera only has a resolution of 8 MP. This is the most obvious weakness of the system, providing image quality that is only adequate, somewhat "inferior" compared to the remaining lenses on the device.

Performance and trade-offs to consider

The vivo V60 5G is powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chip, a powerful mid-range processor that can handle everyday tasks and popular games smoothly at the right settings. The device also manages temperatures very well, only getting slightly warm when playing games for a long time.

The included 90W fast charger gives users peace of mind about the device's non-stop connectivity.

However, the most controversial point is that the device only uses the UFS 2.2 internal memory standard, while competitors in the same price range have switched to UFS 3.1. This is a calculated trade-off by vivo, in order to save costs to invest in the camera system and battery. For normal users, the difference in daily application loading speed is not too obvious, so it is not necessary to care about this difference.

In return, vivo offers a "golden commitment" to software with 4 years of major operating system updates and 6 years of security patch updates, a long-term support policy that is superior to many competitors, ensuring long-term use value for the device.
