Vivo V60 5G Launching in India on August 12: A New Era for Vivo Fans

I don’t know about you, but there’s something different about Vivo launches lately. It’s like they’ve stopped playing safe and started pushing boundaries. I’ve followed the V series for a while now, and when I saw those early leaks about the Vivo V60 5G, I felt it. This one’s going to be big. Bigger battery, better cameras, a bold new design, and finally—finally—running Android 16 out of the box. I’ve seen too many mid-range phones settle for less. But not this time.

And now, according to fresh reports, the Vivo V60 5G will make its debut in India on August 12, 2025. Forget the August 19 rumours—this phone might just land earlier than expected. And honestly, the wait already feels too long.

The Design: Sleek, Flat, and Styled to Impress

If you’ve seen the renders, you probably noticed the switch in aesthetic. Vivo is ditching the curved display this time for a flat 6.67-inch AMOLED panel. That’s honestly a welcome move for many of us who type a lot—no more accidental touches. The phone will boast a 1.5K resolution, buttery-smooth 120Hz refresh rate, and up to 1,300 nits peak brightness, which, trust me, is going to be a blessing under harsh sunlight.

But what’s really grabbing eyeballs is the glossy finish and the pill-shaped rear camera island. It brings a fresh touch, and with colour options like Mist Grey, Moonlit Blue, and Auspicious Gold, you can already tell Vivo’s aiming for elegance. I remember when the V50 had that clean minimalist look—this one feels like a stylish evolution of that.

Performance and Software: Goodbye OriginOS, Hello Funtouch OS

So here’s something I didn’t expect—Vivo’s ditching its China-exclusive OriginOS for this Indian model and instead going with Funtouch OS based on Android 16. Now I’ve used Funtouch OS before, and I’ve had a mixed experience. But with Android 16 under the hood, I’m hoping it brings smoother animations, tighter privacy, and longer support.

And yes, under the hood, the Vivo V60 5G will reportedly feature the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset. That’s a serious upgrade, especially if you’re into gaming or multi-tasking. Add to that the UFS 2.2 storage, and while we don’t know the exact RAM and ROM combos yet, I’m already expecting the performance to be silky smooth for everyday use.

Camera Setup: ZEISS-Backed, Triple Power Lens

Now let’s talk cameras. Vivo’s not holding back this time. According to multiple sources, the V60 5G will sport a 50MP primary rear camera, an 8MP ultrawide, and a 50MP periscope telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. That ZEISS branding we saw in earlier models? Still here. And if that wasn’t enough, the front will house a 50MP selfie shooter, which is a huge win for us selfie lovers and vloggers.

Honestly, I’ve seen how good Vivo’s portrait mode is, and with this setup, it might just crush the mid-range competition. If you’re into detailed photography or content creation on the go, the V60 5G seems made for you.

Battery and Features: All Day Power with Speed

You ever had that moment when your phone dies at the worst possible time? I have. So when I heard the Vivo V60 5G is packing a 6,500mAh battery, I literally smiled. That’s massive. And guess what? It’ll also support 90W fast charging. So even if you’re low on juice, it won’t be for long.

You’re also getting stereo speakers, an in-display fingerprint scanner, and IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance. That makes it not just powerful but durable, too. You won’t have to baby this one.

Expected Price and Variants: Mid-Range, Premium Vibe

So what’s all this going to cost you? Well, current leaks suggest a price range between ₹37,000 and ₹40,000 in India. Honestly, for the specs you’re getting—Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, 90W charging, high-end cameras—that’s actually solid.

It’s rumoured to launch in multiple variants, but Vivo hasn’t dropped official word on storage options yet. If it follows the V50 pattern, we might see combinations like 8GB + 128GB, 8GB + 256GB, and possibly even 12GB + 512GB.

The V60 Is Basically the Vivo S30 Reimagined for India

If some of this sounds familiar, it’s because the Vivo V60 5G is believed to be a rebranded version of the Vivo S30, which launched in China earlier this year. But this isn’t just a name change—Vivo has tweaked the software and design to better suit Indian preferences.

As someone who’s used the V-series over the years, I feel like the V60 5G might be the most polished, complete Vivo phone yet in the mid-range space. It balances performance, battery, camera, and design in a way that just feels… right.
