Vivo V60 Set to Launch in India on August 12 With 6500mAh Battery and 100x ZEISS Zoom
Vivo is gearing up to unveil its latest V-series smartphone — the Vivo V60 — in India, with an expected launch date of August 12, 2025. While the company has begun teasing the phone on its official X (formerly Twitter) handle, several leaks have surfaced online, revealing major specifications and design elements of this upcoming mid-premium device. The Vivo V60 appears to mark a significant design shift from its predecessors in the V40 and V50 series. Taking visual cues from the recently released Vivo X200 FE, the V60 sports a modern look with a capsule-style rear camera module, a nearly bezel-less front display with a centered hole-punch cutout, and gently curved 2.5D edges that aim to offer a more ergonomic grip compared to the flatter edges seen in previous models. According to well-known tipster Pro Tech Village on X, the Vivo V60 will feature a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, offering a smooth and vibrant visual experience. Under the hood, the phone is expected to be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset, a capable mid-range processor that also powers devices like the Realme 15 Pro. However, what truly sets the Vivo V60 apart from the competition is its massive 6,500mAh battery, combined with support for 90W fast charging. This generous battery capacity is one of the largest in its segment and should comfortably support day-long usage for most users. The phone also brings added durability with IP68 and IP69 certifications, ensuring strong protection against water and dust. On the camera front, Vivo continues its long-standing collaboration with ZEISS optics. The V60 is rumored to boast a 100x digital zoom capability, alongside a versatile triple rear camera setup. This includes a 50MP main sensor with OIS, a 50MP 3x periscope telephoto lens also featuring OIS, and an 8MP ultra-wide sensor. Selfie enthusiasts can expect a high-resolution 50MP front camera, ideal for sharp selfies and crystal-clear video calls. The smartphone will likely arrive in three colour options — Mist Grey, Moonlit Blue, and Auspicious Gold, catering to both bold and subtle style preferences. While Vivo has yet to confirm the official pricing, industry insiders suggest that the Vivo V60 may launch in India between ₹37,000 and ₹40,000, positioning it slightly above the Vivo V50, which debuted at ₹34,999. With its mix of standout battery life, ZEISS-branded camera capabilities, and a sleek new design, the Vivo V60 is shaping up to be a strong contender in the mid-premium Android market. All eyes are now on Vivo as fans await the official launch in just a couple of weeks.

Vivo V60 launching in India this August, it will have 6500mAh battery and 100x ZEISS camera
Vivo has started teasing its next-generation V-series phone, and to no surprise, the company is calling it the Vivo V60. The phone is being teased on Vivo's X handle (formerly Twitter), and even the phone's renders have started to do the rounds on the internet. From the looks of it, the company seems to be moving away from the design language we are accustomed to seeing with the V40 and V50 series. Instead, the phone looks strikingly similar to the recently released Vivo X200 FE, with a similar camera layout. The only visual difference is the colours, of course, and the V60 smartphone has slightly curved sides — more like 2.5D curves — which should give it a more natural feel in the hand as opposed to the sharp and flat edges of the X200 Vivo V60 is tipped to launch on August 12, and ahead of this rumoured date, some of the phone's key specs, including the camera details and chipset, have leaked to tipster Pro Tech Village via X, the Vivo V60 is expected to come with a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The phone is said to be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 processor. This is the same mid-range chipset that also powers the recently released Realme 15 Pro. In terms of design, Vivo is going for a more premium look with the V60. Official teasers show a hole-punch display with minimal bezels and slightly curved edges. As mentioned earlier, the back of the phone houses a capsule-shaped camera module — similar to what we've seen on the X200 FE — and overall, the phone looks quite sleek. It is rumoured to come in three colour options at launch: Mist Grey, Moonlit Blue, and Auspicious for the cameras, Vivo has confirmed that the V60 will support 100x digital zoom, and ZEISS optics are back again. The rear camera setup is tipped to include a 50-megapixel primary sensor with OIS, a second 50-megapixel 3x periscope lens also with OIS, and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera. On the front, users can expect a 50-megapixel camera for selfies and video of the biggest talking points, though, is the battery. The Vivo V60 is said to pack a large 6,500mAh battery, paired with support for 90W fast charging. That should comfortably get most users through a full day and then some, depending on usage. The phone is also expected to come with IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water per rumours, the Vivo V60 may be priced somewhere between Rs 37,000 and Rs 40,000 in India. For context, the Vivo V50 was launched in India at a starting price of Rs 34,999.- Ends

Vivo's V50 is an iterative update, but it's still plenty of fun
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Vivo is doing all the right things in 2025; the X200 Pro continues to be one of the best camera phones of the year, and I'm excited to get my hands on the X200 Ultra and see how it measures up this year. In the meantime, the V50 is turning out to be a reliable mid-ranger with the best design in its category. That shouldn't be surprising in the least, considering Vivo is making a habit of launching gorgeous phones in the V series. I thoroughly enjoyed using the V30 Pro and V40 Pro, and while there isn't a Pro model this time (it's likely coming later), the V50 retains the best features of its predecessors while getting a sizeable 6,000mAh silicon battery. The V50 is available in select Southeast Asian countries, and in India, it costs ₹34,999 ($413) for the standard 8GB/128GB model, ₹36,999 ($436) if you want 8GB/256GB, and ₹40,999 ($484) if you're looking to get the 12GB/512GB edition. It goes up against the likes of the OnePlus 13R in the country, and Vivo is positioning the design and cameras as the key features. What I like the most is the design; phones have decidedly gotten boxier in recent years, and I'm not a fan of the trend. Thankfully, Vivo retained a thin design with smooth curves at the back, and it makes using the phone that much better. It has a glass back, but the polycarbonate mid-frame allowed Vivo to save weight, and although there's a 6000mAh battery, the phone comes in at a manageable 189g. Image 1 of 4 Image 2 of 4 Image 3 of 4 Image 4 of 4 The sleeker profile definitely makes a difference in daily use, and the Red Rose color option I'm using is gorgeous — I still don't understand why brands reserve the best colors for their mid-range phones and not flagships. The frosted glass finish at the back accentuates the color, and the design of the camera island is better this time around; you still get a sizeable module, but it doesn't look anywhere as busy as the V40. The phone has color-matched sides, and while that's undeniably good, the glossy finish detracts from the otherwise-great in-hand feel. The only other issue with the design is that the in-screen module is located a little too low, and it makes accessing it a bit awkward. That said, Vivo did a great job with ingress protection; the phone gets the standard IP68 dust and water resistance, and it even picks up IP69, allowing it to withstand jets of water. Vivo went with a slightly smaller 6.77-inch AMOLED panel on the V50, and the resolution is down to FHD+ (2392 x 1080). However, there isn't any noticeable difference in regular use between the device and the V40, and it gets just as bright. It's set to 60Hz out of the box, but you can easily switch to 120Hz via the settings, and I didn't notice any lag in day-to-day tasks. The phone has good color vibrancy and contrast levels, and there's a decent amount of customizability when it comes to adjusting the colors. Another positive is that the phone gets stereo sound — much like the V40, and it makes using the onboard sound that much better. There isn't anything new to talk about the performance, as the V50 is using the same Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 silicon as the V40 and the V30. I would have liked to see the 7s Gen 3 as it holds up a little better, and while the device is still good, it doesn't quite have the power needed to run demanding games at high settings. That said, there isn't an issue with overheating, and outside of gaming, I didn't see any lag or slowdowns with the V50. The base 8GB/128GB is a bit limited in my view, and I'd suggest getting the 8GB/256GB option instead. Connectivity is pretty good too, and I didn't have problems making calls or connecting to my home network. With Vivo continuing with a biannual release cadence, there isn't much that's different with the cameras on the V50. It has two 50MP lenses at the back, and while the main camera uses a slightly bigger module, I didn't see any difference in image quality. The phone continues to do a great job with portrait shots, and it is still one of the best mid-rangers in this area. Battery life is where I noticed the biggest difference, with the V50 having much better headroom thanks to a 6,000mAh silicon carbon battery. The phone manages to last a day and a half comfortably between charges, and even with heavy use, there are no issues getting to the end of the day. It's a similar story with charging tech; with 90W USB PD as standard, it takes under 50 minutes to charge the device. Vivo is doing good things with software as well, and I like the Android 15-based Funtouch OS 15. The interface is fluid, there's extensive customizability, and I didn't see any issues with notifications or aggressive memory management. The only point to note in this regard is that the V50 will get three Android OS updates — one less than its immediate rivals. Overall, the V50 doesn't really bring much new to the table, and that's okay. Vivo didn't need to alter the fundamentals too much, and by adding a bigger battery and refreshing the design, the brand delivered a device that's slightly better than its predecessor. If you need a camera-focused mid-ranger with a stylish design, the V50 is a great choice. With a sleeker design and great cameras, the V50 is the latest in a long line of great mid-rangers by Vivo.
