Vivo has announced two new smartphones today in China. The Vivo X60 and Vivo X60 Pro, as they are called, are the first smartphones in the world powered by the Samsung Exynos 1080 5nm chipset. The new chipset is not the only special feature. The X60 phones also have a slim design, a new operating system, and impressive cameras.
Vivo X60 and Vivo X60 Pro Design
For the design of the new phones, Vivo had one goal and that was to make them the slimmest 5G phones it has ever produced. The standard model is 7.36 millimeters thick while the pro model is a bit thicker at 7.59 millimeters.
Both phones have a curved back with an AG Glass Satin Finish for a silky touch. However, Vivo distinguishes both models not only with more cameras on the pro model but also by giving it a curved display while the standard model has a flat display. The design is finished with a dual-tone paint job that results in a color shift depending on the angle light rays hit the phones.
Vivo X60 and Vivo X60 Pro Specs and Features
The Vivo X60 and X60 Pro both have a 6.56-inch display with a 2376 x 1080 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The AMOLED displays have a centered punch hole, a 19.8:9 aspect ratio, and are HDR10+ certified. Vivo says that the LTM Sunscreen display has been co-developed with Samsung and has been designed to be clear and bright even under strong light.
The Exynos 1080 chipset is paired with 8GB or 12GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. Vivo includes an in-display fingerprint scanner, face unlock, Dual SIM support, Bluetooth 5.1, NFC, and dual-band Wi-Fi in both phones. They also come with the new OriginOS 1.0 operating system which is based on Android 11.
The Vivo X60 has a 4300mAh battery while the Vivo X60 Pro has a 4200mAh battery. Both phones come with support for 33W fast wired charging.

Vivo X60 and Vivo X60 Pro Cameras
Cameras are a big deal for Vivo and it reinforces that with the new X60 series smartphones. This time around, it has partnered with ZEISS for their lens technology which is used in the new phones.
The standard Vivo X60 has a second-gen Sony IMX598 48MP f/1.79 gimbal camera with a 4-axis OIS anti-shake and a closed-loop motor for impressive stabilization. It comes along with a 13MP f/2.2 120° ultrawide angle camera and a 13MP f/2.46 50mm telephoto camera.
The Pro Model has the same Sony IMX598 48MP gimbal camera but with an f/1.48 aperture size and 7P lens. It also has 4-axis OIS and a closed-loop motor. The 13MP f/2.2 ultrawide angle camera has a distortion correction feature so the field of view after correction drops from 120° to 108°. Along with the 13MP telephoto camera, it also has an 8MP f/3.4 periscope camera that provides 5x optical zoom and up to 60x superzoom. Both phones have a 32MP f/2.45 selfie camera.
Vivo has packed the two phones full of camera features. You can shoot not only standard, portrait, and wide-angle photos in night mode but also panorama photos. Vivo also says you can take photos of old Black and White photos and have the phone instantly restore the colors using AI. The cameras are also fast enough to capture fast-moving objects such as kids and pets.
