Chinese smartphone maker vivo has officially launched the vivo X60 series in India. The company has brought all three models to the country, namely vivo X60, vivo X60 Pro, and vivo X60 Pro+. However, the cheaper two models are different than their Chinese counterparts. These two phones went official in Malaysia earlier this week.

vivo X60 / X60 Pro / X60 Pro+ Specifications and Features

All the three models in the vivo X60 series flaunt a 6.56-inch centered punch-hole Super AMOLED display with a resolution of FHD+ (1080 x 2376 pixel), a 120Hz refresh rate, and an in-screen fingerprint sensor. But the panel on the standard variant is flat compared to curved on the other two.

Under the hood, the vivo X60 and the vivo X60 Pro feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC while the vivo X60 Pro+ sports a much powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset. For those unaware, the Chinese versions of the first two models are powered by a Samsung Exynos 1080 SoC.

Talking about cameras, the vivo X60 and the vivo X60 Pro have an identical triple camera setup (48MP + 13MP + 13MP)  and a 32MP selfie camera. However, although both have Zeiss optics, the primary sensor on the Pro model not only has a larger F/1.48 aperture but also Gimbal Stabilization 2.0. Anyway, the standard model does come with OIS. Whereas, the other two sensors are accompanied by a 2x telephoto lens and a 120° ultra-wide lens that also acts as a macro lens respectively.

On the other hand, the vivo X60 Pro+ features a quad-camera setup with Zeiss T* coating (main camera). This setup includes a 50MP Samsung GN1 sensor with OIS, a 48MP Sony IMX589 sensor with a 114° ultra-wide lens and gimbal stabilization, a 32MP 2x telephoto shooter for portraits, and an 8MP sensor with a 5x periscope lens. Lastly, it also has the same 32MP selfie camera.

On the connectivity front, all three smartphones come with dual-SIM, 5G, dual-band WiFi (WiFi 6 on Pro+), Bluetooth 5.1, NFC, GNSS (GPS, BeiDou, GLONASS, GALILEO, QZSS), and USB Type-C. They also include all the necessary sensors, such as an accelerometer, ambient light sensor, compass, color spectrum sensor, gyroscope, and proximity sensor. But unfortunately, like most high-end devices, they also lack a 3.5mm headphone jack and a MicroSD card slot.

As for software, the trio runs Funtouch OS 11.1 based on Android 11. Further, the regular variant is backed by a 4,300mAh battery while the Pro and Pro+ sport a slightly smaller 4,200mAh cell. As for charging, only the Pro+ support 55W fast charging and the other two are capped at 33W. Sadly, they don’t have support for wireless charging like other flagship smartphones

Last but not least, the vivo X60 and vivo X60 Pro come in Midnight Black and Shimmer Blue color options. Whereas, the vivo X60 Pro+ only comes in a single Vegan Leather Emperor Blue option.

The Vivo X60 series of devices had received India’s BIS certifications indicating an imminent launch. Today, Vivo India Director of Brand Strategy Nipun Marya has confirmed its arrival in India.

In a virtual press briefing, Nipun said(via Gadgets360) that the Vivo X60 series will launch in India this month. However, he hasn’t reportedly given clarity regarding the devices in the series. In addition to the Vivo X60 series, the company will also bring the Vivo Vision+ initiative to India.

Vivo Vision+ initiative and RGBW camera phone

This initiative, introduced back in September 2020, is for promoting the culture of mobile photography. Through this, the company will gather photography enthusiasts via Vision+ Mobile Photography Academy, conduct photography awards. It is also said to include the Master Class, and the Vivo Vision+ Photographer Federation.

Anyway, the initiative will start at the Vivo X60 series event so let’s wait for the launch to know more details on it. Moving on, the company has also said that it is bringing the RGBW camera sensor into mass production(in a smartphone) in H2 2021. If you recall, Vivo unveiled it in September 2020.

RGBW stands for Red, Green, Blue, White(filter), and the stack is based on the 4-in-1 Quad-Bayer to provide more pixel area. Here, the added White filter is supposed to increase the sensitivity by 160% as it acts as a transparent filter to allow light through.

In a world of traditional RGB camera sensors, this RGBW will add an extra ‘W’hite filter array to the arrangement, and using advanced algorithms, it is claimed to solve issues like color casting.

The post Vivo X60 series and Vision+ initiative confirmed to arrive in India in March, Key specs leaked appeared first on Gizmochina.

Yesterday, Vivo X60, X60 Pro Global versions were spotted on several certification websites. They are expected to launch in Europe, India, and SEA markets like Indonesia. Ahead of the launch, the Google Play listing hints that the devices could get a Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset instead of Samsung’s Exynos.

According to the Google Play Console listings spotted by MySmartPrice, two Vivo devices bearing the model numbers V2045 and V2046 appear on it. We already know that these belong to the Vivo X60, Vivo X60 Pro respectively. The Chinese giant had already launched it in its home country towards the end of last year.

In China, they both feature the Samsung Exynos 1080 chipset. However, the Console listing suggests that the devices could get Snapdragon 870(Qualcomm SM8250ac) chipset Globally. Besides, Vivo’s spin-off brand is already preparing a device called iQOO Neo5 with the same chipset for China.

Anyway, the listing shows that the devices will feature a display with 2376×1080 pixel resolution, 12GB RAM, and run Android 11 OS. Considering Vivo’s recent plan, these devices should get the Funtouch OS version of the UI and not OriginOS.

To affirm this further, the model number V2046(Vivo X60 Pro) also appears on a Geekbench listing with ‘kona’ motherboard which corresponds to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 chipset.

Apart from the chipset, if Vivo were to maintain the other specs same on the Vivo X60, X60 Pro, the devices will share a lot of specs like the 6.56-inch FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED display, 32MP selfie camera, 33W fast charging but differ in rear camera and battery.

Accordingly, the non-Pro will get a 48MP main lens, 13MP ultra-wide, 13MP Telephoto with 2X optical lenses while the X60 Pro will get another 8MP periscope lens in addition to the above setup. Similarly, the X60, X60 Pro will have 4,300mAh and 4,200mAh batteries respectively.

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.

Vivo X60 Pro+ specs

The Vivo X60 Pro+’s display measures 6.56 inches and it has a resolution of 2376 x 1080. Its refresh rate is 120Hz refresh rate while its touch sampling rate is 240Hz. It also has HDR10 and HDR10+. There is no mention of the type of protection the screen has.
