Vivo V60 Review – The Reliable All-Rounder With Big Battery & Fresh Design Under ₹40,000

Vivo V60 review: Sometimes, you don’t need the fastest phone in the world. You just need one that won’t quit on you, that feels good in your hand, looks fresh, and doesn’t make you reach for the charger every few hours. The Vivo V60 feels exactly like that dependable friend you can count on. I’ve seen so many phones that boast power but forget the basics. This one? It sticks to the essentials beautifully.

Design That Feels Premium Yet Practical

When I first picked up the Vivo V60, I instantly noticed how it manages to balance style with comfort. It’s slim, rounded, and the new pill-shaped camera housing gives it a bold identity — almost like the Vivo X200 FE, but more approachable. I got my hands on the Moonlit Blue variant with its sand-like acrylic finish, and honestly, it felt premium without screaming for attention. For those who like subtlety, the gold variant might be your soulmate.

What really impressed me is how Vivo has retained IP68 and IP69 certifications. That means dust, water, even high-pressure jets won’t scare this phone. And here’s the kicker — it packs a massive 6,500mAh battery while staying just 7.7mm slim and weighing only 201 grams. Carrying it around feels natural, not like holding a brick.

A Display That Pops, Indoors or Out

Vivo didn’t try to fix what wasn’t broken. The V60 has a 6.77-inch AMOLED panel with 1.5K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate, just like the V50. But this time, the brightness climbs to a jaw-dropping 5,000 nits. I watched The Batman on Netflix, and the dark scenes felt alive while the explosions almost leapt off the screen.

Under sunlight, it stays crystal clear, and at night, it dims low enough to not burn your eyes. The slightly warm tone makes long viewing sessions easier. Vivo’s micro-curved edges on all four sides also give it that flagship-like feel without losing usability.

Performance Built for Everyday Life

Here’s where things get interesting. The Vivo V60 runs on Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 4. It’s not the chart-topping Snapdragon 8 series, and that’s okay. In daily use — from opening apps to scrolling through Instagram — it feels smooth. I played BGMI for about 40 minutes and it stayed stable without heating too much. Even Genshin Impact ran fine on lower settings.

This isn’t the phone for hardcore gamers chasing extreme frame rates. But for 95% of people, it’s powerful enough, with great thermal management and a 99% stability score in stress tests.

Cameras That Make Memories Look Good

Vivo has always had a knack for cameras, and the V60 continues the tradition. The 50MP main camera, 50MP telephoto lens, and 8MP ultrawide deliver sharp, detailed images in daylight. Portrait shots are especially beautiful — skin tones, background blur, and hair details all come together naturally.

During a family wedding, I used it for portraits, and the results made me smile. No, it’s not DSLR-level, but for under ₹40,000, it’s stunning. Selfies are just as reliable, with a 50MP front camera capturing sharp, vibrant shots. Low-light shots are usable, though I did notice some noise and occasional lens flare.

The 2x optical zoom is handy for detailed close-ups, and even the 10x digital zoom can surprise you if the subject isn’t too far away.

Battery Life That Just Keeps Going

This is the V60’s superpower. That 6,500mAh battery lasted over 19 hours in the PCMark test. In real life, I got more than a full day with heavy use — social media, Netflix, photography, and some gaming. With 90W fast charging, it goes from empty to full in about an hour.

Vivo V60 vs OPPO Reno 14 – The Mid-Range Showdown

While the OPPO Reno 14 offers a brighter branding push with its MediaTek Dimensity 8350 and 3.5x optical zoom, the Vivo V60 counters with a bigger battery, higher brightness display, and IP69 durability. Reno 14’s 80W charging is slightly slower than Vivo’s 90W, and its peak brightness (1,200 nits) doesn’t come close to the V60’s 5,000 nits.

If you value raw power and zoom range, Reno 14 might be your pick. But if you want all-day battery, durability, and a dependable everyday performer, the V60 has its charm.
