Vivo has started teasing the design direction of the upcoming Vivo S60 series in China. Han Boxiao, Product Manager at Vivo Communication Technology, recently shared details about the inspiration behind the new lineup, hinting at a fresh summer-themed look with a reflective silver-white finish. The teaser arrives as more leaks continue to reveal possible hardware details for the Vivo S60 and Vivo S60 Pro Mini models.
Vivo S60 series teaser reveals premium design
According to Boxiao, the phone has a silver-white rear panel inspired by sparkling reflections on the ocean during summer. When the device moves, the light effects on the back are supposed to shift like shimmering waves. He also mentions a large integrated cold-carved glass back, which should give the phone a smooth and premium in-hand feel.
The above image also suggests that the S60’s camera setup could be placed at the top-left corner, like the previous generation. However, the S60 Pro Mini may continue to feature a horizontal camera module like the S50 Pro Mini from last year.
Last week, tipster Digital Chat Station revealed that the standard Vivo S60 could feature a 6.59-inch 1.5K display with slim bezels and rounded corners. Vivo may pack a battery capacity starting in the 7,000mAh range, along with support for 90W fast charging.
The phone is also tipped to include a Sony IMX8-series periscope telephoto camera. Other expected features include an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner, IP68 and IP69 ratings, a metal middle frame, and support for magnetic accessories through compatible cases.
Today, the tipster revealed that the Vivo S60 will be powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset. At present, there is no information about the S60 Pro Mini’s specifications. Other reports have suggested that both models may support a telephoto extender accessory.
Vivo X500 FE in the making?
Last year’s Vivo S50 Pro Mini arrived globally as the Vivo X300 FE. Based on that strategy, the Vivo S60 Pro Mini could later debut as the Vivo X500 FE sometime during the first half of 2027 for the global market. Vivo is also said to be planning a collaboration with a popular Chinese anime IP for one of the phone’s color variants.
