The device went on a short sale a couple of days later(Jan. 23) at a starting price of 4998 yuan($778) and officially released today(Jan. 30). Now, the company has shared the first sales report of the device.

According to vivo, the vivo X60 Pro+ is currently sold out in almost all the online channels(as of Jan.30, at 11:00 Beijing Time). The company also says that the device remained a champion of sales in the 5000-6000 yuan($778-$933) category in major e-commerce platforms in China.

Precisely, platforms like JD.com(Jingdong), T-Mall, Suning record high volume of X60 Pro+’s sales. To compare, the company itself has said that the X60 Pro+’s first day sales beat its predecessor. To recall, its predecessor was the Vivo X50 Pro+ which launched back in June 2020.

In fact, it explicitly mentions that the first day sales growth of X60 Pro+ increased by 369% than X50 Pro+(as on 12:00 PM Beijing Time, Opening Day Sales). However, it hasn’t shared a specific number of units or value of the sales(in Chinese Yuan) on the Weibo post.

The Vivo X60 Pro+ has finally launched as Vivo’s first flagship smartphone of the year. The phone not only has the Snapdragon 888 processor under its hood but also has two main rear cameras – one from Sony and the other from Samsung.

Vivo X60 Pro+ design

The phone has a curved display with a centered punch hole for the selfie camera. Just as we have seen with some other manufacturers such as OnePlus and Xiaomi, Vivo has also paid attention to the display of the X60 Pro+. The manufacturer claims that the screen has an average ΔE score of 0.506 and that each display was individually calibrated.

The back of the phone is covered in high-quality plain leather with the option to choose between Classic Orange and Phantom Blue. Sitting on the back is a rectangular island made of metal and glass that houses four cameras. The camera housing protrudes and is quite large, thanks to the phone having two main cameras, one of which has a gimbal system.

The overall design screams premium and we don’t have anything to be displeased about.

The camera department is where Vivo goes all out. It has collaborated with ZEISS optics for the cameras. The X60 Pro+ also has Zeiss T* coating which helps with guiding light transmission through the lens of a camera. The addition of this coating makes a significant difference in the quality of images taken by the phone.

The first main camera is a 48MP f/2.2 micro pan-tilt Sony IMX598 camera with a focal length of 14mm, a 114° ultrawide angle, and 4-axis OIS.
