Additionally, there will be an 8MP (likely an ultrawide unit) on the rear side, as well as a 50MP selfie camera.

6. Oppo Find X9 series

The post Upcoming smartphones in October 2025: Realme GT 8 Pro, iQOO 15, OnePlus 15, Oppo Find X9, and more appeared first on Gizmochina.

Vivo is not done with its V-series refresh yet. Just days after launching the Vivo V60 Lite 5G as the first phone powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 7360-Turbo, the company seems to be lining up another model, the Vivo V60e 5G.

The upcoming device has surfaced in a leak from tipster Paras Guglani on X, who shared images and specifications that reveal what to expect.

Vivo V60e 5G Specifications 

The headline upgrade is the camera. Vivo is reportedly claiming the V60e 5G as the “first 200-megapixel main camera in the segment,” which is paired with an 85mm telephoto lens.

The V60e will carry an IP68 and IP69 rating for dust and water resistance. The company quotes that it can survive immersion in 1.5 meters of water for up to 120 minutes. 

Powering the phone is a massive 6,500mAh battery, supported by 90W fast charging. It’s not the fastest charging speed we’ve seen, but paired with a battery this large, it could mean serious endurance.

Interestingly, Flipkart has already listed the device in three storage configurations along with pricing. The base 8GB + 128GB variant is priced at ₹34,999 (₹28,749 with offers), while the 8GB + 256GB option comes in at ₹36,999 (₹30,749 with offers). The top-tier 12GB + 256GB model is listed at ₹38,999 (₹32,749 with offers).

The phone will arrive in two finishes: Noble Gold and Elite Purple. Though the design isn’t that different from the Vivo V60 Lite, per se. The company has not confirmed a launch date yet, but with listings already live, the official announcement should not be far of.
