Vivo is likely to announce the Vivo X70 series of smartphones in China in the coming month. Last year, the Vivo X60 and X60 Pro were released with Exynos 1080 chip in China, whereas the global markets received their Snapdragon 870 SoC variants. A tipster has claimed that the X70 and X70 Pro will be arriving with different chipsets in China and global markets.

The Vivo X70 and X70 Pro smartphones will come equipped with the Dimensity 1200 chipset in the international markets, claims the tipster. It can be said based on the recent reports that the Vivo phones with V2104 and V2015 models could be model numbers of the Vivo X70 and X70 Pro heading to the global markets.

The Geekbench listings of X70 and X70 Pro have revealed that they will arrive with 12 GB of RAM and Android 11 OS. The tipster has further claimed that the X70 and X70 Pro will be coming with the Exynos 1080 chipset in the Chinese markets. The duo will carry support for 44W fast charging, and they will feature Sony IMX766 primary camera.

Last month, a reliable tipster from China had claimed that the Vivo X70 will feature a 6.56-inch AMOLED punch-hole panel that offers a 1080 x 2376 pixels resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The Pro model is also expected to feature the same.

It is likely that the X70 and X70 Pro will come equipped with identical specs and they may only differ in the camera department. Probably, the main camera of the Pro model may feature micro-gimbal stabilization, whereas the vanilla model may come with support for a conventional OIS.

Are you looking for the best device in the whole smartphone market? There are several companies you can choose from if you need a top-tier flagship and the most famous one is definitely the iPhone 12 Pro Max by Apple. But there are also several Chinese companies that released phones that have nothing to envy the most powerful iPhone. After comparing the iPhone 12 Pro Max with the most famous and latest Android flagships at the time of its release, here is another comparison that includes two of the top-tier flagships from the most famous Chinese companies: Vivo X60 Pro+ and OnePlus 9 Pro.

Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max vs Vivo X60 Pro+ vs OnePlus 9 Pro

Design

Despite the iPhone 12 Pro Max has the best build quality, it is not the most impressive in terms of design. The Vivo X60 Pro+ looks a lot more futuristic due to its curved display at the edges, an incredibly high screen to body ratio, and a rear side made of leather. But unfortunately, the Vivo X60 Pro+ is the only one from the trio which is not water resistant and dust resistant.

Display

The best display on the paper belongs to the OnePlus 9 Pro which is actually equipped with the same panel as the OPPO Find X3 Pro. It is an AMOLED display with LTPO technology and an adaptive refresh rate of up to 120 Hz. It supports the HDR10+ certification, a Quad HD+ resolution and it can show up to one billion colors. The silver medal goes to the iPhone 12 Pro Max which offers incredible color accuracy and high contrast. The Vivo X60 Pro+ is inferior with its Full HD+ resolution and 16M colors, but it still packs a great display.

Hardware and Software

Whatever you choose, it makes no difference. All of these phones are equipped with a top-tier hardware department. While Vivo X60 Pro+ and the OnePlus 9 Pro are powered by the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform, iPhone 12 Pro Max has the Apple A14 Bionic: both are chipsets built at 5 nm which are extremely powerful. Note that iPhone 12 Pro Max runs iOS, while Vivo X60 Pro+ and OnePlus 9 Pro are based on Android.

Camera

The Vivo X60 Pro+ is the best camera phone: it has a quad rear camera composed of a 50 MP main sensor (Sony IMX766) with laser autofocus and OIS, an 8 MP periscopic sensor with 5x optical zoom, a 32 MP portrait telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom and a 48 MP ultrawide camera with gimbal stabilization. It even comes with Carl Zeiss optics and 8K video recording. Simply one of the most impressive camera departments on the paper. But the iPhone 12 Pro Max remains an amazing camera phone which can shoot awesome cinematic videos at a professional level and very accurate photos. The OnePlus 9 Pro is inferior to the Vivo X60 Pro+, but it is still a top camera phone with its 48 MP main sensor and a stunning 50 MP ultrawide camera.

Battery

In a lot of scenarios, the OnePlus 9 Pro is able to offer a longer battery life thanks to its 4500 mAh battery. Further, it supports faster charging technology with a power of 65W. It even comes with wireless charging and it has one of the fastest wireless charging technologies with a power of 50W. On the other hand, iPhone 12 Pro Max supports MagSafe which makes wireless charging more comfortable and efficient. The Vivo X60 Pro+ lacks wireless charging but it has 55W wired charging. Despite it has a smaller battery capacity, the battery life of the iPhone 12 Pro Max is at the same level as the Vivo X60 Pro+ thanks to the software optimization of iOS.

Price

Vivo X60 Pro+ is only sold in Asia: in India, it has a listing price of Rs. 69,990 / $1100 for the base variant with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. You can find the iPhone 12 Pro Max in the global market for more than €1000/$1000, while the OnePlus 9 Pro is priced at €900/$900 in its base variant. There is no definitive winner for this comparison and each phone can be the best for specific users. With the Vivo X60 Pro+, you can get better cameras, OnePlus 9 Pro has a superior display, battery, and charging technologies, while the iPhone 12 Pro Max is an amazing phone in terms of photo/video quality, performance, build quality, and more.

The post iPhone 12 Pro Max vs Vivo X60 Pro+ vs OnePlus 9 Pro: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

The OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G finally hitten the global market with its high-end specifications offered at a pretty affordable price. But this year there is another Chinese device that can compete with the Reno series in the global market: the Vivo X60 Pro. It is the first flagship by Vivo to hit the European market and it will be joined by the OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G in Europe soon. Which of these devices should you buy and which offers the best features for the money asked? This comparison between their specifications will hopefully clear your ideas in regards.

OPPO Reno6 Pro vs Vivo X60 Pro

Design

The Reno Glow finish which distinguishes the OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G from the other phones is simply amazing. The handset has an opaque rear side but it still shines thanks to a special finish which required a very long process for its production. On the other hand, the Vivo X60 Pro is more compact despite it has the same display size. Both the phones are built with premium materials including a glass back and both feature an elegantly curved screen at the sides, but the Vivo X60 Pro seems to have a more premium body with its aluminum frame and the Gorilla Glass 6 protection by Corning. Both are awesome phones in terms of aesthetics and both are very thin and lightweight, so whatever you choose, you will make a great choice.

Display

The OPPO Reno 6 Pro 5G and the Vivo X60 Pro are very close when it comes to the display. They both feature AMOLED panels with the HDR10+ certification, an in-display fingerprint reader, a Full HD+ resolution, a high brightness, and a high-end image quality. Even the size is almost the same: 6.55 inches and 6.56 inches, respectively. An important difference is the refresh rate: OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G has 90 Hz, while Vivo X60 Pro comes with a higher 120 Hz refresh rate.

Specs & Software

The Vivo X60 Pro wins the hardware comparison because it is powered by a stronger chipset: the Snapdragon 870 by Qualcomm. Despite the Dimensity 1200 by MediaTek is built with a better production process (6 nm), the Snapdragon 870 is actually more powerful and it is the chipset with the highest clock frequency in the Android world. The SoC is paired with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage and this is the only memory configuration of the Vivo X60 Pro. Note that, in China, the Vivo X60 Pro comes with a different processor: the Exynos 1080 by Samsung.

Camera

Besides having a superior chipset, the Vivo X60 Pro also comes with a better camera. The phone packs a triple camera including a 48 MP main sensor with gimbal stabilization, a 13 MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom, a 13 MP ultrawide sensor, and Carl Zeiss optics. Unfortunately, OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G lacks a telephoto sensor and it has inferior stabilization. The two handsets are both equipped with a 32 MP selfie camera, so you should not notice big differences when it comes to selfies quality.

Battery

An important advantage of the OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G is the presence of a bigger battery: 4500 mAh vs 4200 mAh. Alongside the 6 nm production process of its chipset, the bigger capacity allows the handset to provide a longer battery life. Further, the OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G has a faster charging technology with a power of 65W and it ships together with a compact 65W charger.

Price

The OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G is priced at Rs. 39,990 in India in the base configuration with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, while Vivo X60 Pro costs Rs. 49,990 (€799 in the European market) in the configuration with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. The Vivo X60 Pro is a superior phone because it packs better cameras and the amazing Snapdragon 870 chipset, but with the OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G, you can save money while getting a bigger battery and faster charging. If you do not need that awesome camera you can find on the Vivo X60 Pro, then OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G is a more intelligent choice for your needs and you should opt for it.

The post OPPO Reno6 Pro vs Vivo X60 Pro: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

We are halfway into 2021, and most smartphone brands have already launched their flagship phones in the market. Taking advantage of the recent releases, we have put together a detailed camera review of the top flagships from five brands.

These are — Samsung’s S21 Ultra, Xiaomi’s Mi 11 Ultra, VIVO’s X60 Pro+, OPPO’s Find X3 Pro and Oneplus’ 9 Pro. In this article, we will compare the advantages and disadvantages of each phone in the camera department. This article is a bit long, but be patient, and you’ll know which phone offers the best photography experience in the first half of 2021, and we’ll also point out each model’s shortcomings and strengths.

So here is Gizmochina’s review of the best camera flagship phone for the first half of 2021.

Before we start the comparison of the camera samples, let’s review the camera specifications of the five phones, so please look at the table for details. Each phone defaults to AI mode, with auto HDR, flash disabled, and other factory settings when shooting. In order to avoid the preconceived brand effect, the evaluation will obscure the phone model for the audience to speculate, and their identities will be announced at the end of the article.

1.1 Main Camera (Bright)

When the lighting is good, all the five flagship phones perform very well. For the minute differences, we need to zoom in and look carefully.

Let’s take a look at this photo of the gazebo first, the performance is basically the same without zooming in.

And when we zoom in, we can see that the resolution at the center of the picture is very similar among all the five models, but we can still see that B performs relatively better than others as the cracks on the pillar are visible. The other three models are at the same level.

On the other hand, when it came to the edges of the image, A and D performed the best while the other three models had similar but slightly inferior details.

The D is seen to have the most noise at first glance, and it is obvious that the noise reduction processing of D is more negative. E also has more noise. Notably, the noise reduction processing of the, A, B, and C are stronger.

So the final score for this session is shown in the table. B and C are tied for first place, while D lags behind the other models because of the weak noise reduction.

1.2 Main Camera (Dark)

This photo of Coke embedded in a wall has a lot of details. But the situation is different in low light than when there is plenty of light. B has the worst central image quality performance, with no signs of sharpening, but it also the least detail.

We got the best details from D and E, where the texture of each brick is clearly visible. A has some sharpening, but the detail is still great. C has too much sharpening and looks worse.

And from this indoor sample of complex lighting, let’s check the image quality at the edges. D leads the pack, with clear lines of wire mesh. A and C have clearer lines, and C has the strongest sharpening of the five. E has false colors, and the B model has blurred images, performing significantly worse than the first three phones. The dynamic range of all five phones is similar, while A captured underexposed images in the dark and D overexposed the samples in the upper right corner of the light sign, so we deducted some points from both these models, but we couldn’t find any other fault. This picture tests the noise control and glare control of the phone.

After zooming in, you can see that B has the best noise reduction. C and E are the ones with the most noise. The glare is about the same for everyone.

The night mode improves low light scenes and should be used very often. Fortunately, the night mode is very well tuned on each of the five models. A is still not as detailed in the dark as the other four, and its sharpening in the night mode is the worst among the five phones. B‘s highlights are not controlled and the details are the least.

So the final score is as follows.

The best score in this segment is D, and the other four phones do not have much difference in performance in this segment.

2.1 Ultra-wide Camera (Bright)

Take this example of a large bell, shot in the backlight. C has the best performance in the resolution at the center of the image taken from the ultra-wide-angle lens. B is also good because there is almost no over-sharpening so it looks very natural and you can see a lot of details. This is followed by A and E, which look a little worse because of the obvious sharpening signs. The last is D, which has the least amount of grain detail.

Still in this photo, a closer look at the internal details of the bell reveals the gap in the dynamic range. E and B are the two best performers, followed by D, in both of which we can see the details inside the bell. A and C, on the other hand, are almost pitch black.

The edge details of an ultra-wide sample has always been one of the most difficult tasks for brands to optimize. The difference is evident in this photo of the tree. A came out on top in this category, both in terms of resolution and control of the purple-fringing issue. B is a little less resolved, but the purple-fringing issue is well controlled. C and D are very good in terms of resolution, but they have a slight purple-fringing issue. The worst is E, which does worse in terms of resolution and purple-fringing issues. However, the noise control of E is good and comparable to that of B. The other three units have average noise control.

Finally, look at their picture distortion control. Because they both have anti-distortion processing, so the actual difference is very small. Except for B, which seems to have a little bit of distortion, it is hard to tell who is stronger and who is weaker with the naked eye.

The final score is shown in the table, and B got first place in this session with its stable performance.

2.2 Ultra-wide Camera (Dark)

Under dim indoor light, the ultra wide angle cameras with average sensors are tested to the extreme.  Look at the words on the car, the sample from B basically can’t be read anymore. In the samples from A and E, we can still read a few letters. While in the samples from D and C we can basically see all the letters. The D‘s ultra wide-angle lens, like its main camera, continues to have the most noise. Others have better noise control.

We can also use this picture to judge its edge picture quality. The newspaper posted on the wall is a measure of the edge image quality. The difference between the five phones is very obvious, with B again at the bottom of the list, and the small text disappearing. C‘s edge image quality drops very little compared to the center image quality, which is great. D is also very good. Whilte A‘s excessive sharpening makes the image look very messy, E shows slightly false colors.

Let’s change the scene and see how each brand performs in situations with high contrast between light and dark. It is easy to see from the Coca-Cola logo and ceiling that E has the best control of highlights and the sample from D has the most detail in the dark. The other phones also have excellent dynamic range performance and excellent glare control. A has a little more glare than the other phones, but it doesn’t affect much, so 0.5 points are deducted. From this scene with complex light sources, the five phones don’t look much different with night mode on. B is still the same as in the auto mode, with poor image quality at the center. A still has obvious signs of sharpening. D’s night mode is a little blurry. C and E performed relatively well.

The final results of this session are shown in the table, C got the highest score in five of the six tests and easily took the lead in this session.

Standard lenses (2x/3x/3.3x)

Since these five phones have different standard lens focal lengths, we chose their respective focal lengths for comparison, with B using a 2x zoom on the main camera.

Looking at the daytime samples with plenty of light, they are not much different except for the difference in focal length.

So we look directly at the indoor dark light samples. Without zooming in, you can see the dynamic range of each brand of phone just by looking at the picture. The best photo would be E, followed by D and C. A and B are at the bottom.

Now Let’s zoom in to see the picture quality. D is undoubtedly the best, followed by E and A. Lastly, let’s check out B and C. B also has the least noise due to the powerful noise reduction. The noisiest ones are A and E.

In the night scene mode competition, because C is not supported by the medium focus night mode, I believe C’s manufacturer is very confident in its automatic mode, so the score is with normal mode of calculation. The resolution of D is the best. B has the most severe sharpening.

So the final scores are in, and D wins this session again.

Telephoto Cameras(5x/10x)

Because D has 10x optical zoom, we review the 5x and 10x together. The small samples may not be visible in the above image, but the difference in the original picture is still obvious. You can see that B has the most details, followed by E. D is slightly weaker than E, but the remaining two are too blurry, especially the C.

In the 10x sample, ignoring the sudden overexposure bug of A, the image quality of D surpassed the top two and got first place.

The rest of the phone ranking is basically the same as 5x zoom samples. The gap is even more pronounced in dark indoor environments. B is still unbeatable in terms of dynamic range and noise control, while E also performs well. With night mode on, the dynamic range of A has improved, but the noise has also increased.

The night mode of E seems to have regressed compared to the auto mode, the image has become blurred, and we’ll explain why this happened in the camera experience session later. Of course, C still doesn’t support night mode for telephoto. D outperformed B in the 10x photos, and the rest of the conclusions are almost identical to the 5x photos, so I won’t repeat them.

The final scores are shown below, with the 5x telephoto and 10x telephoto winners being taken by B and D with perfect scores in each category, respectively.

Extreme dark scenes

Inevitably, there are times when you need to use your phone to take pictures in almost no light. In such scenarios, we don’t need to consider other factors, and as long as the target object can be photographed, it is considered a success. So this session is a test of the extreme light-sensitive ability of the five phones. Usually, the main camera’s night mode is the most powerful mode for each phone, so we have used it for this test. In terms of exposure alone, E was the brightest. A was so dark that it was impossible to tell what was being photographed. B retained the most details in the picture, followed by D and E. The conclusion of the competition in this segment is very obvious, because the exposure of the picture is more important than the clarity of the shot, so the weight of the score of the picture quality will be smaller in this segment.

Obviously, E wins this round.

Color Style & White Balance

Just as different brands of cameras have different color science, the five phone brands have different understanding of what colors makes the samples better. E and A usually have the highest saturation. C’s saturation is turned up while brightness is turned down to make colors more intense, especially reds and greens. D and B also increase saturation, although the strength is not great and there is little difference from what you can see with the naked eye. Color style preferences vary from person to person and are not evaluated here, but whether the white balance is accurate can be measured uniformly. So take a look at the white balance uniformity of each phone’s main camera.

With AI mode turned off, we take a photo of a white wall. It’s hard to see which phone is doing a bad job with white balance, except for the different exposure strategies, so let’s take a different photo.

The picture of this table has a large yellow area, which is very difficult for a phone with a poorly tuned auto-white balance.  It can be said that every phone does not do a good enough job of adjusting the white balance.

A is obviously yellowish, B, C and E are blue-green, and D is red. If you pick the best one, D and E are relatively well done.

So the best score in this session goes to D & E, the remaining three phones still need to work on their color tuning.

Other modes

Portrait mode is also a frequently used mode. This mode tests the accuracy of its face exposure strategy, beauty algorithm and portrait keying. This bronze statue wearing a hat has very heavy shadows on its face, but B does a good job of balancing the background with the exposure of the face. E has a great exposure for the face and automatically adds some light spots to the background. D has a dark face.

The woman’s picture is mainly about her hair keying and face details. It is too difficult to key in the hair, and all of them do a bad job here. B does a relatively good job, with less breakage. And the beauty effect on E is the most powerful, but here B is the weakest. Of course, Beauty can be turned off, so it is not included in the rating system.

If you only look at face exposure and keying, B has the best performance in portrait mode.

This time we also tested the selfie effect of the front lens. With factory settings, A and C had the strongest beauty effect, and all other phones looked more realistic. After we turn off the beauty on all phones, C and D have the most details.

We all know that B is able to take selfies with the small screen on the back, and it beats other phones in terms of clarity and depth of field. But this round of testing is the front lens so it does not count in the score.

In the high-resolution mode competition, E is not able to activate HDR in this mode, so the dynamic range will be smaller than other phones that can turn on HDR. This can be easily seen from the exposure of the tree trunk. In a different scene, in a light and not backlit scene, the best resolution is D and B, and the worst is A. But in the same scene at night, basically, every phone is close in performance regardless of the pixel level. So It seems that the high-resolution mode should be used in the daytime.

Only A has a dedicated macro lens, which is not used very often but is very interesting. It can take a lot of perspectives that other phones can’t, and it can record video, so it’s very usable.

And C has a Monochrome lens, which allows you to take black and white photos. Here is a photo with a Monochrome lens and a direct shot with a saturation of -200, can you see the difference between them?

So for C, this lens really does almost nothing.

So A won first place in this segment with its macro lens overtaking D. C‘s Monochrome lens did not help in this segment.

Camera Experience

Now comes the final session, namely the camera experience session. During my photo sampling, A and D had the best experience with no obvious drawbacks.

C can only use night mode at 0.6x and 1x focal length, and it is not possible to zoom in night mode.

Night mode on E is likely to call on the main camera to crop the image instead of 2x or 5x optics in low light conditions, which is why night mode is weaker than normal mode ar 5x focal length test.

B’s experience is the worst, not only is the shutter delay the highest of all phones, but there are two bugs that seriously affect the experience. Video stabilization failure can only be solved by rebooting. The night mode of the video will occasionally have a red residue on the screen. And the redness of the screen is quite scary at night.

By this point in the article, I’m sure some viewers have already guessed the corresponding phone models. Now let’s reveal the answer along with the total score table.

Best Camera Smartphones 2021: VERDICT

In the first place is the very versatile Galaxy S21 Ultra. The phone not only took four firsts in individual categories but was never placed at the bottom in any of the tests.

In second place is the Vivo X60 pro+ which is placed above others for its robustness.

The Mi 11 Ultra in third place has the strongest 5x optical telephoto lens, but the lack of a standard lens and poor tuning of the ultra-wide-angle lens caused it to be no match for the x60 pro+.

In fourth place is the Oneplus 9 Pro which has very good ultra-wide-angle performance, but like the Find X3 pro, it misses too many points because of the lack of an ultra-telephoto lens.

The Find X3 pro does the best job in terms of camera experience and fun, but the optimization for image quality needs to be enhanced.

If you want to choose a phone with the strongest camera right now, the S21 Ultra is the one you want. If your budget is not that high, the X60 pro+ is also a very good choice, and their gap is very small.

So this was Gizmochina’s review of the best camera phones for the first half of 2021. We hope this comparison was useful to you.

The post Best Camera Smartphones of H1 2021: S21 Ultra, Mi 11 Ultra, X60 Pro+, Find X3 Pro & Oneplus 9 Pro appeared first on Gizmochina.

This year, Vivo launched its first flagship in the European market: the Vivo X60 Pro. Despite it is the first one, it is having consistent success in several countries. But soon, it will have a new rival: OPPO is going to launch the Reno6 series in the global market and it will include the OPPO Reno6 Pro. The phones will be most likely sold in the same price range and they come with similar specifications. Which one is the best? With this comparison, we will try to answer this question.

OPPO Reno6 Pro 5G vs Vivo X60 Pro

Design

OPPO Reno6 Pro and Vivo X60 Pro offer a premium design including a glass back and an aluminum frame. The phones are very good-looking and they are also thin and lightweight. Both have a curved screen at the edges making them even more elegant. The OPPO Reno6 Pro looks more beautiful with its camera module sporting the same color as the rear cover; it is even lighter despite it packs a bigger battery. But the Vivo X60 Pro has a better build quality with the Gorilla Glass 6 protection for both the rear glass and the display (OPPO Reno6 Pro has Gorilla Glass 5).

Display

On the paper, the Vivo X60 Pro looks to have a slightly more interesting display. The most important difference between the two panels is the refresh rate: Vivo X60 Pro has 120 Hz, while OPPO Reno6 Pro has just 90 Hz. Both the phones support the HDR10+ certification and they have a Full HD+ resolution, as well as an in-display fingerprint scanner. If we exclude the refresh rate, you should not notice important differences between their image quality. Both the displays are curved and they have similar dimensions (6.55 inches and 6.56 inches, respectively).

Specs & Software

The OPPO Reno6 Pro is equipped with a MediaTek Dimensity 1200 mobile platform paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage, while the Vivo X60 Pro is powered by the Snapdragon 870 chipset with the same memory configuration. Despite the Dimensity 1200 is built with a better production process (6 nm), the Snapdragon 870 has higher performance. That is why Vivo X60 Pro wins the hardware comparison. The phones run Android 11 out of the box customized by ColorOS and Funtouch OS, respectively.

Camera

Vivo X60 Pro has a better camera department: it is composed of a 48 MP main sensor with gimbal stabilization, a telephoto sensor with 2x optical zoom, and an ultrawide lens with a 13 MP resolution and a 120° FOV, as well as Carl Zeiss optics. It is able to record video with 4K resolution and 60 fps. The OPPO Reno6 Pro has a quad rear camera with a 64 MP main sensor (no optical stabilization), an 8 MP ultrawide sensor, and a pair of (useless) 2 MP sensors for macros and depth.

Battery

OPPO Reno6 Pro packs a bigger battery with a capacity of 4500 mAh and it provides a longer battery life on a single charge. It also supports a faster charging technology with a power of 65W. With the Vivo X60 Pro, you get just 4200 mAh and 33W fast charging: not much for a flagship, but sufficient.

Price

Vivo X60 Pro debuted in the European market with a price tag of €799/$950 (with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of native storage). We still do not know how much OPPO Reno6 Pro will cost in the global market because it is actually available only in China. There is a chance that it will be more affordable than the Vivo X60 Pro. If we do not consider the price, the Vivo X60 Pro wins the comparison. First of all, it provides a better camera department which, unlike its rival, includes a telephoto sensor, as well as a better ultrawide lens. Further, it has a higher refresh rate. It even comes with a more powerful processor. On the other hand, Reno6 Pro has a bigger battery and a faster charging technology, as well as a more interesting Android fork, so it still offers a few advantages. Which one would you pick?

The Vivo X60 Pro+ received generally positive reviews when it launched, with several publications and reviewers praising its camera performance. DxOMark has published its own in-depth camera review, and while the new Vivo flagship does make it to the top 10, what is surprising is that it trails behind the Vivo X50 Pro+, its predecessor.

With an overall score of 128 points, the Vivo X60 Pro+ scores higher than the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, the iPhone 11 Pro Max, and the OPPO Find X2 Pro. The photo score is 131 points and the review praises its performance in a wide range of lighting conditions. It also commends its exposure, wide dynamic range, accurate white balance, and high detail but mentions that noise is sometimes visible and that autofocus failures prevented it from scoring higher.

For Zoom, the device scores 84 points which is great thanks to its dual telephoto cameras, but could have been better if it didn’t lack detail at long range and suffer from exposure instabilities when compared to phones such as the Huawei Mate 40 Pro+ and the Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra.

DxOMark reveals that it is the issues with the photo and zoom that resulted in the phone scoring lower than the Vivo X50 Pro+.

For video, the X60 Pro+ scored 110 points and garners praise for its color rendering and accurate white balance which makes videos really pop whether you are recording indoor or outdoor. It does get noisy when in low-light conditions, so the key to getting the best out of the cameras is to make sure that there is enough light.

The full review on DxOMark’s site goes into deeper details and includes photo and video samples as well as comparisons with some other devices, so do check that out.

Once upon a while, mainstream smartphone manufacturers used to release duos of flagships. Now, a duo is not enough anymore: Pro+ and Ultra variants started to come up with even better specifications and higher prices. The latest Pro+ variants in the market are Vivo X60 Pro+ and OPPO Reno6 Pro+. Do you want to know which is the best Pro+ device out there? You are in the right place: the comparison between the specifications of the OPPO Reno6 Pro+ and the Vivo X60 Pro+ flagships.

OPPO Reno6 Pro+ vs Vivo X60 Pro+

Design

The OPPO Reno6 Pro+ has a thinner and lighter design which makes it easier to hold and more comfortable to keep in a pocket. Its design scheme is slightly more attractive as well, due to a more minimal look. But the Vivo X60 Pro+ is definitely a more unique handset because it has a rear side made of eco leather. It is thicker and heavier, but it is very stylish. The OPPO Reno6 Pro+ has a punch hole placed in the upper left corner, while the punch hole of the Vivo X60 Pro+ is placed in the middle of the upper part of the panel.

Display

On the paper, the Vivo X60 Pro+ offers a better display. It is an AMOLED panel with high 1300-nit peak brightness, a 120 Hz refresh rate, a Full HD+ resolution, and the HDR10+ certification. The OPPO Reno6 Pro+ has an AMOLED panel with HDR10+ certification as well, but the refresh rate is lower (90 Hz) and the peak brightness too. Both the phones come with an in-display fingerprint reader and the dimensions of the displays are very similar (6.55 inches and 6.56 inches).

Specs & Software

The Vivo X60 Pro+ wins the hardware comparison because it has a more powerful chipset: the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform is actually the best SoC by Qualcomm. It is an octa-core chipset built at 5 nm with a max frequency of 2.84 GHz, paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 native storage. The OPPO Reno6 Pro+ has an octa-core Snapdragon 870 mobile platform built at 7 nm with a max frequency of 3.2 GHz. OPPO Reno6 Pro+ runs Android 11 customized by ColorOS, while Vivo X60 Pro+ will provide Funtouch OS in the global market and OriginOS in the Chinese market.

Camera

Besides boasting better hardware performance, Vivo X60 Pro+ has a superior camera setup as well. It is composed of a 50 MP main camera with gimbal OIS and laser autofocus, an 8 MP periscope camera with 5x optical zoom, a 32 MP telephoto sensor for portraits with 2x optical zoom, and a 48 MP ultrawide sensor. It is a stunning camera phone and there are not many phones which can compete with it. The OPPO Reno6 Pro+ is not able to reach the level of its rival, but it is still a great camera phone including a 50 MP main sensor with OIS, a 13 MP telephoto sensor with 2x optical zoom, a 16 MP ultrawide camera, and a 2 MP macro sensor.

Battery

The OPPO Reno6 Pro+ sports a bigger battery than Vivo X60 Pro+ and it is able to last more on a single charge. It even charges faster thanks to the SuperVOOC technology with a power of 65W.

Price

The starting price of the OPPO Reno6 Pro+ in China is €520 (roughly $633) while the Vivo X60 Pro+ starts from €643/$782. The Vivo X60 Pro+ wins the comparison because it provides a better chipset and a higher-end camera department, but the OPPO Reno6 Pro+ remains interesting because of its bigger battery and more affordable price. If you do not need an astonishing camera (while still getting a great camera phone), maybe the OPPO Reno6 Pro+ is enough for your needs. Also, note that the X60 Pro+ has a higher refresh rate and a back made of eco leather. On the other hand, the OPPO Reno6 Pro+ is thinner and lighter. Which one would you pick?

The post OPPO Reno6 Pro+ vs Vivo X60 Pro+: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

A few days ago, Vivo launched its first flagship in Europe since it hitten the Western European market: the Vivo X60 Pro. Despite it is not the most advanced variant from the X60 series, it boasts a complete specs sheet with stunning specifications. Further, it carries a non-excessive price tag. This is exactly the reason why we decided to compare it to the latest flagship killers from Vivo’s Chinese rivals. If you need a phone priced under €800, you have two other amazing options besides the Vivo X60 Pro in the European market: Xiaomi Mi 11i and OnePlus 9. Let’s compare their specifications.

Vivo X60 Pro Global vs Xiaomi Mi 11i vs OnePlus 9

Design

The Vivo X60 Pro is the most beautiful handset for three reasons: it is thinner than its opponents, it is lighter and it has a curved edge-to-edge display. With the OnePlus 9 and the Xiaomi Mi 11i, you get a flat display and thicker bodies, as well as thicker bezels around the panel. But you should consider that the Xiaomi Mi 11i has the IP53 certification, so it offers some kind of protection against dust and water (it is splash resistant, but you can not put it underwater without it damages).

Display

The displays of the Vivo X60 Pro, OnePlus 9, and Xiaomi Mi 11i are more or less at the same level. They are all AMOLED panels with a Full HD+ resolution, the HDR10+ certification, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and very high brightness. Not the most advanced displays in the smartphone world, but still amazing panels which will not disappoint you. The Xiaomi Mi 11i has a wider 6.67-inch diagonal, while Vivo X60 Pro and OnePlus 9 are more compact. Note that Vivo X60 Pro and OnePlus 9 have an in-display fingerprint reader, while Xiaomi Mi 11i has a side-mounted one which is actually less comfortable.

Hardware/Software

Given that the Vivo X60 Pro is powered by a weaker chipset, the battle is between Xiaomi Mi 11i and the OnePlus 9. They are fueled by the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform, but the most advanced variant of the OnePlus 9 is more powerful because it has more RAM: 12 GB against the 8 GB offered by the Xiaomi Mi 11i. All these phones run Android 11 out of the box with different customized user interfaces.

Camera

The most convincing camera department belongs to the Vivo X60 Pro. It has a main sensor with a very bright f/1.5 aperture and gimbal stabilization, a telephoto sensor with 2x optical zoom, and a 13 MP ultrawide sensor. OnePlus 9 has a better ultrawide camera than X60 Pro, but it lacks a telephoto sensor and its main camera is actually inferior too. The Xiaomi Mi 11i has a stunning 108 MP main camera with 8K video recording, but unfortunately, its secondary sensors are pretty bad for a flagship.

Battery

Vivo X60 Pro is thinner and lighter, but it has a smaller battery and it loses the battery life comparison. The Xiaomi Mi 11i and the OnePlus 9 both come with a 4500 mAh battery, but the latter supports faster wired charging (65W) and wireless charging, while Xiaomi Mi 11i supports 33W fast charging and lacks wireless charging. OnePlus 9 is the king of batteries.

Vivo X60 Pro Global vs Xiaomi Mi 11i vs OnePlus 9: Price

You can grab a unit of the OnePlus 9 for less than €700/$853, Xiaomi Mi 11i is the cheapest with a €649/$791 price tag, and Vivo X60 Pro is priced at €799/$975. The Vivo X60 Pro looks like the most premium device due to its beautiful design and amazing camera, but for average users, the OnePlus 9 makes more sense with the actual prices due to its bigger battery, wireless charging, better chipset.

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.

1 of 2

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.

vivo X60 / X60 Pro / X60 Pro+ Price and Availability

The vivo X60 series will retail for the following price tags in India

• vivo X60
  • 8GB + 128GB – ₹37,990

Yesterday, Vivo held a global launch event to announce the Vivo X60 5G and Vivo X60 Pro 5G smartphones. Unlike their Chinese counterparts that feature the Exynos 1080 chipset, their global editions are equipped with Snapdragon 870 chipset. On Thursday, the Chinese manufacturer will be holding a dedicated launch event in India to announce the X60 series. Recent reports have revealed that the country will be also receiving the Vivo X60 Pro+ flagship smartphone apart from the X60 and X60 Pro.

Vivo X60 series specifications

The Vivo X60 and X60 Pro global variants have a 6.56-inch AMOLED FHD+ 120Hz display and a 32-megapixel front-facing camera. The rear-mounted triple camera system on both phones has a 48-megpaixel primary camera (f/1.79 aperture on X60, f/1.48 on Pro) a 13-megapixel ultrawide lens, and a 13-megapixel depth sensor.

BBK subsidiary Vivo has already launched the Vivo X60 series comprised of the X60 and X60 Pro in China. The two models are almost identical in terms of specs with some minor differences. One prominent difference is the presence of a Quad camera setup on the X60 Pro with the fourth sensor being an 8MP 5x periscope lens.

Well, Vivo may soon launch the models in the global market with several teasers already being shared. The models have also been certified by several agencies. The latest news is that the X60 Pro has appeared on the website of Taiwan’s NCC, giving us a peek at the device.

The major take from the listing is that the X60 Pro will come with a triple camera setup instead of four which is utilized on the Chinese variant. This doesn’t seem to be the Vivo X60, in case you are thinking along that line. The device is listed with the model number V2046 and it has appeared on several certification websites bearing this same model number. For reference, the X60 has model number V2045.

In addition, the model also comes with a centrally located punch-hole camera as well as a gradient rear panel. At the rear, there is a rectangular camera module with the Zeiss badge. The module houses three sensors.

Other aspects seem to align with those of the Chinese variant as the X60 Pro is shown to pack a 4200mAH battery with 33W fast charging support.

To recall, the Vivo X60 Pro packs a 6.56-inch AMOLED display with an FHD+ resolution of 2376×1080 pixel. The phone also comes with support for HDR10 and HDR10+. While the Chinese version is powered by an Exynos 1080 chip, the global version may likely pack a Snapdragon chipset.

The Vivo X60 series is expected to be launched in India on March 25.

As per the info from his tweet, Vivo will launch three smartphones under the Vivo X60 series in India. They are Vivo X60, Vivo X60 Pro, Vivo X60 Pro+. This is an appreciable move after the company brought only the Vivo X50, X50 Pro to the country last year.

That said, the company is planning for a single storage variant of the Vivo X60 Pro and X60 Pro+. Accordingly, the devices will get 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. For colors, the Pro variant will get Blue and Black colors while the Vivo X60 Pro+ will come in a single Black color option.

As for specs, multiple reports have said that the Global variant will have a different chipset on the Vivo X60 devices. The Chinese smartphone giant is launching the series three days early in Malaysia and there it’s already confirmed to feature Snapdragon 870 chipset.

Plus, a recent report said that Vivo X60 and X60 Pro will feature the recently launched chipset whereas the Vivo X60 Pro+ will retain the Snapdragon 888 from China. Other specifications of the devices are likely to be the same and the company’s poster confirms the presence of Zeiss optics.

It’s been a few months since Vivo launched its X60 series of smartphones in its home market China and now the company is rolling it out to other regions. After confirming its launch in Malaysia later this month, the company has now revealed its India launch date.

Vivo X60 series is finally getting launched in India on 25th March. There are three models in the lineup — Vivo X60, X60 Pro, and X60 Pro+. We are not sure if the company plans to launch all three models in India.

As the teaser for this upcoming Vivo smartphone series has gone live on both Flipkart and Amazon, it has been confirmed that the devices won’t be exclusive to any one platform.

The Vivo X60 lineup launched in China comes powered by the Samsung Exynos 1080 chipset but reports indicate that the global variants will come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC. In Malaysia, the phone is getting the SD870 variant but the company has not confirmed the chipset for the Indian models.

As for the specifications, all three models are equipped with 6.56-inch AMOLED FHD+ displays with 120Hz refresh rate support. In China, the X60 Pro+ model is powered by the SD888 chipset while the other two are powered by Exynos 1080 SoC.

The Vivo X60 Pro+ features a quad rear camera setup that includes a 50-megapixel primary sensor with an f/1.57 lens, a 48-megapixel ultra-wide-angle sensor with an f/2.2 lens that doubles as a macro shooter, a 32-megapixel portrait shooter with f/2.08 aperture, and an 8-megapixel periscope camera with an f/3.4 aperture.

The Vivo X60 comes with a triple-camera setup, featuring a 48-megapixel primary lens, a 13-megapixel portrait camera, and a 13-megapixel ultrawide lens. All three models come with a 32-megapixel front-facing snapper.

The standard model is powered by a 4,300mAh battery, whereas the Pro version has a 4,200mAh battery. The smartphones are running the Android 11 operating system out-of-the-box with the company’s own OriginOS on top but the global variant is likely to come with its FunTouch OS.

In December, Vivo announced the Exynos 1080 SoC powered Vivo X60 and Vivo X60 Pro smartphones in China.

Vivo had also Snapdragon 888 powered Vivo X60 Pro+ smartphone in China. It is unclear whether March 22^nd will also see the global launch of this handset. The landing page of the Vivo X60 series on Vivo Malaysia’s website states that it will come with camera features like Gimbal Stabilization 2.0 and Extreme NightVision 2.0.

It is likely that the global versions of the Vivo X60 and Vivo X60 Pro may only differ in the chipset department when compared to its Chinese variants. With two weeks remaining for the launch, Vivo is expected to reveal more features of the upcoming Vivo X60 series in the coming days.

Vivo X60 and Vivo X60 Pro specifications (Chinese variants)

The post Vivo X60 series with Snapdragon 870 to launch on March 22   appeared first on Gizmochina.

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.

Vivo X60 series India: Specs

Also, regarding the Vivo X60 series, Digit India, through exclusive insider info, says that the Vivo X60 series will include Vivo X60, X60 Pro, and X60 Pro+ in India. It further says that the X60, X60 Pro will feature Snapdragon 870 chipset while the X60 Pro+ will retain the Snapdragon 888 from China.

If you recall, except the X60 Pro+, the other two devices featured Exynos 1080 chipset in China. This info is in line with recent evidences of the devices appearing online. Apart from chipsets, the Indian variants should retain the other specs from China.

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.

Chinese smartphone maker vivo debuted the vivo X60 series in late December 2020 in China. All the three handsets in the lineup, namely vivo X60, vivo X60 Pro, and vivo X60 Pro+ are reported to launch in India in the coming days. Ahead of their release, the vanilla and the Pro models have been now certified by BIS, EEC, TKDN, and Indonesia Telecom.

First and foremost, the standard vivo X60 with model number V2045 has been spotted by 91Mobiles on two certification bureaus, namely BIS and Indonesia Telecom. The certifications somewhat confirm this handset to launch in India and Indonesia respectively.

The same publication has also spotted the vivo X60 Pro with model number V2046 on EEC, TKDN, Indonesia Telecom, and BIS. Hence, we can expect this smartphone to release in Europe, Indonesia, and India respectively.

Since these phones are already official and are being sold in China for quite a while, we know everything about them. The vivo X60 and vivo X60 Pro are identical in terms of specs with some minor differences.

They come with a 6.56-inch FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED display, Exynos 1080 SoC, OriginOS based on Android 11, 32MP selfie camera, and 33W fast charging. But their rear camera setup and battery capacity are different.

The vivo X60 has a 48MP (wide) + 13MP (2x telephoto) + 13MP (ultra-wide) triple camera setup, while the vivo X60 Pro sports an additional 8MP 5x periscope unit. Lastly, the former has a 4,300mAh battery and the latter is backed by a slightly smaller 4,200mAh cell.

Chinese Smartphone maker Vivo entered Europe last year with the launch of Vivo X51 5G and a few other devices. Now, the company has revealed that it will double its presence in the region by this year and launch more premium flagship devices.

Vivo has officially entered the Romania and Czech markets. Before 2021, it hopes to present in as many as 12 countries in the European region. This is 6 more than the status last year. It also says that it will bring the smartphones with the ‘ZEISS‘ association to these markets this year.

If you recall, Vivo recently partnered with ZEISS, a Germany-based Optoelectronics company for a Global Imaging partnership. Currently, the Vivo X60 series of devices have cameras optimized by ZEISS. However, it is not clear which models will make it to Europe.

There is also a possibility that the Vivo X60 could launch with tweaks under different names just like the way Vivo did last year. It launched X51 5G, a tweaked version of the Vivo X50 Pro from China.

Anyway, the company also hints that it would partner with UEFA to bring its new drives during the UEFA EURO 2020 and 2024 football championships. The former event has been postponed due to the pandemic and is scheduled to start on 11 June 2021.

Apart from Romania and the Czech, Vivo also says that it will venture into countries like Serbia and Austria by H1 2021. Let’s wish Vivo Good Luck as it expands the ever-growing European Smartphone market in 2021.

Chinese handset market vivo was India’s third-largest smartphone maker in Q4 2020, as per Counterpoint Research. The company was even the country’s largest offline brand. To maintain as well as increase its market share, vivo is reported to launch 11 new devices in the region till April.

Abhishek Yadav, a Twitter user known for sharing mostly certifications and benchmarks has partnered with MySmartPrice for an exclusive leak. According to him, vivo will be launching 11 smartphones in India up until April. These devices will include mid-range V series and premium X series as well.

Last year, the company released two vivo X50 series models in India, namely vivo X50 and vivo X50 Pro. Now, months later, the firm is reported to launch the top-end vivo X50 Pro+ in the country as well.

This high-end vivo smartphone is said to debut alongside the vivo X60 series by the end of March or early April. It is even reported to cost around ₹40,000.

Additionally, the vivo X60 lineup for India is also expected to include the all-new vivo X60 Pro+ as well. This means the Chinese smartphone maker may bring two of its most premium devices to India at the same.

Then, there will be vivo V21 series that will include two models – vivo V21 and vivo V21 Pro. Lastly, the other handsets should be entry-level and budget vivo Y series models.

Recently, we saw reports that Vivo is planning to launch the latest Vivo X60 series in India sometime in end of March/beginning of April 2021. Today, 91Mobiles is back with another report saying that the yesteryear Vivo X50 Pro+ will accompany the X60 series during the launch.

Citing its sources, the report says that Vivo X50 Pro+ will launch alongside the Vivo X60 and Vivo X60 Pro in India. If we recall, this device launched in China way back on June 1, 2020. Vivo had unveiled it as a flagship smartphone powered by Snapdragon 865 chipset while the X50 and X50 Pro had mid-range Snapdragon 765G.

Anyway, the report also shows few images of the device that’s coming to India. If you look at the images, we can spot the device(V2011) running on Snapdragon 865 with 12GB RAM, 256GB storage. The screenshot also shows that the firmware on it is based on Android 10 but this could just be an old representative unit.

Also, the rear of the image shows that the company is bringing the Plain Leather Edition that is in Brown Color(Camel) to India. In addition to this, the Vivo X50 Pro+ in China also comes in another Gravitation Blue color variant.

1 of 3

As for Price, the report says that Vivo X50 Pro+ could launch around ₹40,000($550) in India. To recall, the 256GB variant launched in China for 5,498 yuan($851) while the 128GB debuted for 4,998 yuan($773).

Lastly, as the X50 Pro+ is debuting here, the possibility of the recently launched Vivo X60 Pro+ coming to India is very bleak. Either way, let’s wait for official news to know when the company plans to bring the devices to India.

In a few days, the Xiaomi Mi 11 will make its debut in the global market. A lot of people are waiting for it to get their next flagship killer at a great price, but a lot of people are not considering that there are many other Chinese flagships worth considering in a similar price range. One of them is definitely the Vivo X60 Pro+: a very underrated phone from a brand that is slowly becoming one of the main smartphone manufacturers all around the world. This comparison will explain to you the differences between Xiaomi Mi 11 and Vivo X60 Pro+ and will let you discover which one is the best depending on your actual needs.

Xiaomi Mi 11 vs Vivo X60 Pro Plus 5G

Design

Vivo X60 Pro+ and Xiaomi Mi 11 are astonishing phones in terms of design. Both are made of premium materials including a glass back and an aluminum frame, and both come in a variant with an eco leather back. They also come with curved displays. In my opinion, the Xiaomi Mi 11 is a bit more stylish thanks to its less invasive camera module, but the Vivo X60 Pro+ is actually more compact and suitable for one-handed users. It is also more comfortable for your pocket. In each case, you get a punch-hole display.

Display

Talking about the display, Xiaomi Mi 11 is a superior device. The main difference between these panels is the resolution: the Xiaomi Mi 11 has a higher Quad HD+ resolution with 1440 x 3200 pixels. With the Mi 11, you also get a higher peak brightness (up to 1500 nits) and one billion colors. But you should not underestimate the Vivo X60 Pro+ which still comes with an amazing AMOLED panel including a 120 Hz refresh rate and the HDR10+ certification.

Specs & Software

With the Xiaomi Mi 11 and the Vivo X60 Pro+, you get exactly the same hardware department. It consists of the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform by Qualcomm, up to 12 GB of RAM, and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. Both are flagships and both are based on Android 11, but with different user interfaces. When it comes to the hardware, it is basically a draw and you will hardly notice the differences between their performance. With the Xiaomi Mi 11, you can choose between three memory configurations: 8/128 GB, 8/256 GB, and 12/256 GB. The Vivo X60 Pro+ has just two configurations: 8/128 GB and 12/256 GB.

Camera

Vivo X60 Pro+ is the best camera phone in this comparison and one of the best in the whole market. It includes a 50 MP main sensor with laser autofocus, OIS, and a bright f/1.6 focal aperture. It also offers an 8 MP periscope sensor with 5x optical zoom, a 32 MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom, and a 48 MP ultrawide sensor with gimbal stabilization. Xiaomi Mi 11 has a great main camera, but it lacks telephoto and periscope sensors: this is what makes the Mi 11 just a mid-range camera phone.

Battery

The Xiaomi Mi 11 has a bigger 4600 mAh battery and it provides a longer battery life in a lot of scenarios, but not always. The Vivo X60 Pro+ has a more efficient display, so the energy consumption is lower. But at the end of the day, the Mi 11 should be a superior battery phone. Unfortunately, the Vivo X60 Pro+ lacks wireless charging, while Xiaomi Mi 11 has fast wireless charging and reverse wireless charging. On the other hand, Vivo equipped the X60 Pro+ with a faster charging technology (up to 55W).

Price

Xiaomi Mi 11 is priced at about €605/$730 in China, while the Vivo X60 Pro+ carries a €640/$711 starting price. Despite the Xiaomi Mi 11 has a better display and wireless charging, the Vivo X60 Pro+ offers a slightly higher value thanks to its amazing camera department. But not every user cares about having the best cameras, that is why the Mi 11 looks like a better option for certain people.

A couple of weeks later, the company launched the Vivo X60 Pro+ smartphone powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC. Now, the smartphone is all set to make its way to the Indian market in the coming months.

As per the report, the X60 lineup, including the Vivo X60 Pro+, could get launched in India in the month of March or April. We expect to get more information about this launch in the coming weeks.

vivo launched the vivo x60 Pro+ flagship smartphone with Snapdragon 888 chipset on Jan. 21. 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.

To put things in perspective, if one unit of X50 Pro+ sold last year during first day sale, the successor has sold about 369 units(an eg.). To celebrate this, the company says that a hoarding of X60 Pro+ will be exhibited in ZEISS Optics Museum, which is a Technology museum in Oberkochen, Germany.

X60 Pro+ is vivo’s first 2021 flagship smartphone with a high-quality leather rear finish, comes in Classic Orange and Phantom Blue colors. It features a 6.56 inches 120Hz AMOLED display, Snapdragon 888 chipset, 8/12GB DDR5 RAM, 128/256GB UFS 3.1 storage, ZEISS optics-powered quad-cameras with 48MP mains lens, 4,200mAh battery with 55W Flash Charging.

The post First day sales record of the vivo X60 Pro+ increased by 369% compared to predecessor appeared first on Gizmochina.

Last month Vivo launched its new flagship lineup for 2021. It is composed of three models: Vivo X60, Vivo X60 Pro, and Vivo X60 Pro+. All of them come with high-end specifications and 5G connectivity, so in each case, you get at least a flagship killer. But is it worth spending more on the Pro+ variant or the X60 and the X60 Pro are enough powerful for every kind of user? This internal comparison will highlight all the main differences between the specifications of the new Vivo series for the most demanding users.

Vivo X60 vs Vivo X60 Pro vs Vivo X60 Pro+

Design

The Vivo X60 Pro+ has the most raffinate design: it is the only one to come with a leather back (it is eco leather, though). The design of the X60 Pro is identical, with the exception of the leather back: it has a glass back just like most of the flagships out there. The X60 differs from the X60 Pro and the X60 Pro+ due to its flat display: it does not have curved edges and, while this might make the phone a bit more comfortable to use, it makes it less elegant at first glance.

Display

Vivo X60, X60 Pro, and X60 Pro+ feature the same display specifications. In each case, you get a Full HD+ panel with the AMOLED technology and a 120 Hz refresh rate, as well as the HDR10+ certification improving the image quality. Whatever you choose, you should get the same display quality, so go ahead and focus on the other specifications.

Hardware/Software

Vivo X60 and X60 Pro sport the same chipset: an Exynos 1080 by Samsung. Not the most powerful chipset by Samsung, but still a flagship-class SoC built with a 5 nm production process. The X60 Pro+ is actually superior thanks to its Snapdragon 888 mobile platform which is actually the best processor in the Android world and naturally the best Qualcomm’s SoC for mobile devices.

Camera

Besides providing the best hardware experience, the Vivo X60 Pro+ has the best camera department. It comes with a 50 MP main sensor with a bright f/1.6 focal aperture, a periscope sensor with 5x optical zoom, a 32 MP telephoto sensor for portraits, a 48 MP ultrawide sensor, dual OIS, laser autofocus, and gimbal stabilization. It is one of the best camera phones in the market. The X60 Pro has the same sensors as the X60 but it adds an 8 MP periscope sensor with 5x optical zoom. For the rest, X60 and X60 Pro have the same cameras, inferior to the X60 Pro+.

Battery

Despite it is the lower-end variant, the Vivo X60 has a bigger 4300 mAh battery and it should provide a slightly longer battery life. But the X60 Pro+ supports faster 55W charging. However, X60 and X60 Pro still charge quickly thanks to their 33W fast charging technology.

Price

Vivo X60 is priced at about €440/$534, X60 Pro starts from less than €560/$680, and X60 Pro+ begins at €640/$775. They are actually available in China. If we exclude the periscope camera and the design, the X60 offers the same experience as the X60 Pro. That is why we believe its value for money is higher. X60 Pro+ is a lot better than both the other variants thanks to a better chipset, cameras, and faster charging, but not a lot of people need this superiority.

A lot of flagship killers from Chinese manufacturers are hitting the market in the last months. In December, the OPPO Reno5 Pro was officially announced, then Vivo X60 Pro went official as well. If you want a flagship phone sold at a modest price, then these devices are definitely among the greatest choices you can do. But there is an older device sold in the same price range which may catalyze your attention even more: the OnePlus 8T. All of these devices are actually available in the Chinese market they carry similar prices: do you want to know which one is the best? Then check this comparison between the specifications of the OnePlus 8T, Oppo Reno5 Pro, and Vivo X60 Pro.

OnePlus 8T vs OPPO Reno5 Pro vs Vivo X60 Pro

Design

The OnePlus 8T has definitely the ugliest design. A lot of people will like the fact that it has a flat display instead of the curved screens found on OPPO Reno 5 Pro and Vivo X60 Pro, but the screen-to-body ratio is lower and the overall look is less impressive. With their curved displays, OPPO Reno5 Pro and Vivo X60 Pro look more elegant. The OPPO Reno5 Pro is my favorite one because of its more beautiful camera module: it is even the most lightweight phone of the trio. All of these phones are built with a glass back and an aluminum frame, so premium materials just like the most expensive flagships.

Display

The most advanced displays belong to the OnePlus 8T and the Vivo X60 Pro. They have more or less the same specifications and there are marginal differences between them, so we won’t pick a single winner in this comparison. You would better focus on the other specifications. We prefer them over the OPPO Reno5 Pro due to their higher refresh rate: up to 120 Hz, while OPPO Reno5 Pro stops at 90 Hz. They both feature a Full HD+ resolution, the AMOLED technology, and the HDR10+ certification. On each phone, you get an in-display fingerprint scanner.

Hardware/Software

According to the AnTuTu benchmark, the Exynos 1080 found on the Vivo X60 Pro is the most powerful chipset of this comparison. It scores higher than the Snapdragon 865 found in the OnePlus 8T, and the Dimensity 1000+ found on the OPPO Reno5 Pro is actually less powerful than the Snapdragon 865. Further, the Exynos 1080 is built with a better production process: 5 nm instead of 7 nm. Vivo X60 Pro features 12 GB of RAM and UFS 3.1 native storage, while OPPO Reno5 Pro gets slower UFS 2.1 storage. So the ranking sees Vivo X60 Pro at the first place, followed by OnePlus 8T and OPPO Reno5 Pro. All the phones ship with Android 11 out of the box.

Camera

The winner of the camera comparison is the Vivo X60 Pro. It features a 48 MP main sensor with a brighter f/1.5 focal aperture, a periscope sensor with 5x optical zoom and an 8 MP resolution, a 13 MP ultrawide sensor with 2x optical zoom for portraits, dual OIS, and a 13 MP ultrawide camera. OnePlus 8T comes right after with a 48 MP quad-camera and OIS, including a 16 MP ultrawide sensor. OPPO Reno5 Pro has a midrange-class camera department without OIS and with a 64 MP main sensor.

Battery

The OnePlus 8T has a bigger 4500 mAh battery and it provides a longer battery life. OnePlus 8T and OPPO Reno5 Pro feature a faster 65W charging technology. Vivo X60 Pro has slower charging and a smaller battery than both its rivals.

Price

OnePlus 8T is priced at about €416/$507 in China, OPPO Reno5 Pro starts at €410/$500, and Vivo X60 Pro has a €575/$700 listing price. The Vivo X60 Pro is the best device for this comparison due to its better cameras and strong chipset, but its value for money is lower. The OnePlus 8T actually provides a higher quality-price ratio than the Vivo X60 Pro thanks to its street prices (it is older), while OPPO Reno5 Pro sits in the middle.

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.

The Snapdragon 888 processor is paired with 8GB or 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM. The 12GB version has a feature called Memory Fusion Technology that allows you to use 3GB from the storage as additional RAM. The phone comes in 128GB or 256GB UFS 3.1 storage options.

The Vivo X60 Pro+ has dual SIM support (Nano only), an in-display fingerprint scanner, face unlock, NFC, Bluetooth 5.2 with support for SBC, AAC, aptX HD, and LDAC. It runs OriginOS 1.0 based on Android 11. It packs a 4200mAh battery with support for 55W flash charge.

Vivo X60 Pro+ cameras

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. The second main camera is the 50MP Samsung GN1 with an f/1.57 aperture and a 1/1.3” large sensor size. There is also a 32MP f/2.08 portrait camera with a 50mm focal length and an 8MP f/3.4 periscope camera that has OIS 5x optical zoom and 60x super zoom. The selfie camera is a 32MP f/2.45 sensor.

Vivo says all four rear cameras support AF autofocus and video stabilization. You can also record in 8K and record slow-motion videos at up to 1080p.

Vivo X60 Pro+ price and availability

The Vivo X60 Pro is priced at ¥4998 for the 8GB+128GB version and ¥5998 for the 12GB+256GB version. It is available for pre-order now on the Vivo online shop and on Jd.com. It will go on sale on Saturday 23rd of January.

Vivo did not announce a Snapdragon 870 version of the phone at the evet and neither did it announce a tablet.

Now, a leak has revealed there may be another version with a different Snapdragon chipset.

According to tweets by the leaker Teme (@RODENT950), the Vivo X60 Pro+ will have a version powered by the yet-to-be-announced Snapdragon 875 processor. In one of the tweets, he said the phone “seems to come with SD875” and in another, he said that alongside the Snapdragon 888 version of the phone, there is probably a new SD875 version.

Qualcomm is yet to announce the Snapdragon 875 processor. Actually, the Snapdragon 888 was expected to launch as the Snapdragon 875 but it came as a surprise when it announced the processor with a different name. These new details reveal that there is an actual Snapdragon 875 processor, one that may be a higher clocked Snapdragon 865 Plus chipset.

There is also a possibility that it may arrive under a different name. Chinese leaker, Digital Chat Station, said that the processor may launch as the Snapdragon 870. He also added that the chipset has its CPU clocked at 3.19GHz and its GPU will be clocked higher too. For reference, the Snapdragon 865 Plus is clocked at 3.09GHz.

The Vivo X60 Pro+ is scheduled to launch on Thursday, the 21st of January, 2021 in China. The phone will come in 8GB RAM and 12GB RAM variants according to listings on JD.com with 128GB and 256GB of storage respectively. It will also come in Vegan leather options with one of them similar to the Huawei Mate 30.

Other specifications that have been revealed include a 6.56-inch AMOLED screen with a centered punch hole for the selfie camera, a 120Hz refresh rate, an in-display fingerprint scanner, and cameras with ZEISS optics.

The post Vivo X60 Pro+ may have a Snapdragon 875 version appeared first on Gizmochina.

On Dec. 29, Vivo held a launch event in China for unveiling the Vivo X60 series of smartphones. At the event, it announced three devices such as the Vivo X60, Vivo X60 Pro, and Vivo X60 Pro+. However, it did not divulge the specifications and pricing of the Pro+ model. It only claimed that it will be made official in January. Today, the company took to its Weibo channel to reveal that the Vivo X60 Pro+ will be announced at 7:30 PM (local time) on Jan. 21 in China.

The all-new Exynos 1080 chipset is present under the hood of the Vivo X60 and X60 Pro smartphones. The more advanced X60 Pro+ could be fueled by the Snapdragon 888 SoC. A listing of the X60 Pro+ had appeared on JD.com through which its memory variants and color options were revealed.

It was found on the Chinese retailer site that the X60 Pro+ will be arriving in two variants such as 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage and 12 GB RAM + 256 GB storage. And it will be available in colors like Deep Ocean Blue and Classic Orange.

Rumors surrounding the Vivo X60 Pro+ have claimed that it will be equipped with the same 6.56-inch AMOLED display with centered punch-hole design that is available on the X60 and X60 Pro handsets. The screen offers a Full HD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and it is integrated with a fingerprint scanner.

The X60 Pro+ is expected to arrive with support for 55W fast charging. It goes without saying that it will offer better photography capabilities than the other X60 models. It is likely that it could be fitted with a 50-megapixel main camera coupled with the second-generation micro-gimbal tech.

Vivo hasn’t talked much about the upcoming X60 Pro+ smartphone apart from a brief teaser back at the X60 series launch. Recently, the company has been widely promoting the X60, X60 Pro on social media platforms like Weibo. While it is yet to reveal the top-end flagship details, a JD.com listing reveals color names and memory variants.

As GSMArena reports, a Vivo X60 Pro+ listing appears on Jingdong(JD.com). Although the listing doesn’t reveal any specs, it says the device is a 5G flagship. Further, the placeholder images are nothing but the Snapdragon 888 SoC, close-up of a probable Periscope lens, and Leather Patterns.

And if you look down the listing, we have information about the color and memory variants. Apparently, the X60 Pro+ will have two color options- Deep Ocean Blue and Classic Orange. If the listing is true, the memory variant of the device is either 8GB RAM, 128GB storage, or 12GB RAM, 256GB storage. Do note that a disclaimer image at last says final information could vary after launch.

Either way, the names of the colors go in line with the earlier leak by Digital Chat Station a few days ago. He posted two images of the Vivo X60 Pro+ one in Blue and the other in Orange. Looking at the vague images and JD.com listing, it is possible that Vivo would launch X60 Pro+ in Leather editions.

Also, the JD listing points to a shipping date of around January 30, 2021, which means the launch could be in the fourth week of January(23-30). Speaking of which, the listing also has few more images teasing excellent low-light camera features, OS(probably OriginOS), and Fast Charging(maybe 120W).

Anyway, as mentioned above, take all this information with a pinch of salt as Vivo is yet to disclose it officially. The Vivo X60 Pro+ is expected to feature a centered punch-hole curved AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Considering the X60 series and recently launched iQOO 7 have a 48MP main camera, we can also expect X60 Pro+ to stand out from the crowd.

But despite having the best chipset in the Android world, the Mi 11 is still a flagship killer sold at a very interesting price tag. Besides the Mi 11, two more flagships went official in the last days of 2020: the OPPO Reno5 Pro+ and the Vivo X60 Pro. In this comparison, we decided to compare the specifications of the best Android flagships released from Chinese brands in the last part of 2020 in order to let you understand which one is the most interesting handset you can actually buy without spending a huge amount of money.

Xiaomi Mi 11 vs Oppo Reno5 Pro+ vs Vivo X60 Pro

Design

The Xiaomi Mi 11 has a very original and beautiful design. With its camera module boasting rounded corners and a very high screen-to-body ratio, it is definitely an attractive phone which tries to differentiate itself from the concurrence. But the OPPO Reno5 Pro+ is my favorite one for a simple reason: its electrochromic body. Its rear side is able to change its color with a simple double tap on it, and this is an amazing feature in terms of design. The Vivo X60 Pro still comes with a beautiful design and premium materials, but I personally prefer the OPPO Reno5 Pro+ and I think a lot of people will agree with me.

Display

The Xiaomi Mi 11 is equipped with the most advanced display: for the first time, Xiaomi opted for a display with a Quad HD+ resolution. The display of the Xiaomi Mi 11 has a 120 Hz refresh rate and the HDR10+ certification, as well as a very high brightness up to 1500 nits. The display received an A+ from DisplayMate and it is actually one of the best panels out there. But the OPPO Reno5 Pro+ is not joking with its 90 Hz AMOLED display, and neither the AMOLED panel of the Vivo X60 Pro. Further, all the phones feature an in-display fingerprint scanner.

Hardware/Software

If you want the most powerful smartphone, you must go for Xiaomi Mi 11. It is the first and at this moment the only phone fueled by the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform: the latest and most powerful SoC by Qualcomm. The phone also offers up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 native storage. But the Vivo X60 Pro is still a very nice flagship thanks to its Exynos 1050 chipset built at 5 nm, and it offers the same memory configuration. With the OPPO Reno 5 Pro+, you get an older Snapdragon 865 chipset, but it is still flagship-class.

Camera

Just do not choose the Xiaomi Mi 11 if you need the most advanced camera phone. Due to the lack of a telephoto sensor and a periscope sensor, it does not support optical zoom. You can get the optical zoom with the Oppo Reno5 Pro+ and Vivo X60 Pro. The latter has the best zoom capabilities and Carl Zeiss lenses, but the former has a better main camera, at least on the paper: a 50 MP Sony IMX766 sensor. Overall, the Vivo X60 Pro looks slightly more advanced as a camera phone, thanks to great secondary sensors.

Battery

Xiaomi Mi 11 has the biggest battery, but it does not necessarily mean it has a longer battery life in every scenario. Given its higher display resolution, it has a shorter battery life in some situations. The Oppo Reno5 Pro+ has a good 4500 mAh battery, but you should note that the 7 nm Snapdragon 865 chipset is less efficient. Xiaomi Mi 11 is the only one to feature wireless charging, but the Oppo Reno5 Pro+ has the fastest charging tech with a 65W power.

Price

The prices of Xiaomi Mi 11 start from €504/$611 just like the Oppo Reno5 Pro+, while Vivo X60 Pro starts from €565/$685. There is not a definitive winner of this comparison: the Oppo Reno5 Pro+ has the best design and great cameras, Vivo X60 Pro is the greatest camera phone and it boasts a 5 nm chipset, Xiaomi Mi 11 has the best display and hardware but it is inferior as a camera phone. Which one would you go for?

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.

Vivo X60 and Vivo X60 Pro Price and Availability

The Vivo X60 is available in three configurations and below are the prices:

• 8+128GB = ¥3498 (~$535)
• 8+256GB = ¥3798 (~$581)
• 12+256GB = ¥3998 (~$612)

The Vivo X60 Pro comes in a single configuration and that is with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. It is priced at ¥4498 (~$689) and it is already available for pre-order along with the 8GB variants of the standard model. The first sale is scheduled for January 8, 2021.

Last week, the V2047A had appeared on the Geekbench benchmarking platform with some of its specs. It is speculated that the V2047A could be the Vivo X60 or Vivo X60 Pro. Through Weibo, well-known tipster Digital Chat Station has shared screengrabs of the TENAA listing of the Vivo X60 Pro.

Vivo X60 Pro specifications

The Vivo X60 Pro measures 158.57 x 73.24 x 7.59 and it weighs 178 grams. The device is equipped with a 6.56-inch AMOLED display that offers 1080 x 2376 pixels Full HD+ resolution.

Vivo has finally confirmed that it’s bringing the X60 series of Smartphones in China on December 29. The event will begin at 7:30 AM Beijing Time(UTC+08:00). The smartphone series is expected to bring improvements in display, Camera, Performance, and more, over the predecessor. Ahead of the launch, let’s delve into the possible specs and price of the Vivo X60 devices.

Vivo X60 Series- The Basics

The Vivo X60 series is currently speculated to have three devices- Two of them(X60, X60 Pro) are almost confirmed with specs and renders while the third one is rumored(X60 Pro+). As usual, they will succeed Vivo’s X50 series of smartphones.

Precisely, the new year’s X series from Vivo will have three significant changes from the predecessor. First, and foremost is the punch-hole display. Although Vivo X50 also has a punch-hole screen, the X60 series will bring it over to the center. With this, it’s nearly the first non-Samsung device to launch with a centered punch-hole AMOLED display.

This is because Fujitsu, a month ago, prematurely announced the Fujitsu Arrows NX9 F-52A with a centered punch-hole AMOLED display. Technically, it should be the first one but since its launch is way far ahead on January 31, 2021, Vivo has a chance here. The next big thing in the X60 series is the strategic partnership with ZEISS.

Accordingly, the X60 series will be the first product of this partnership and is likely a headstart to take on the likes of rivals like Huawei–Leica‘s tie-up. Beyond software algorithms like ZEISS 3D PoP(bokeh render), the devices will have Vario-Tessar lenses with  T*Anti-reflective coating.

It will probably retain the Sony sensor, get a wider aperture wide-angle lens, and Samsung‘s Flexible E3 OLED screen. The third most significant change is the use of Samsung Exynos chipset on the X60 unlike the Qualcomm SoC on the X50 series.

That said, other expected features are a Glass build, SA/NSA 5G, Wi-Fi, dual-SIM, Type-C port, LPDDR4x/5x RAM, UFS 2.1/3 storage, Bluetooth, NFC, GPS, BeiDou, camera features like OIS, EIS 4K video recording, optical zoom(Periscope-X60 Pro), bokeh, OriginOS(Android 11)and more.

Specs and Features(Expected)

Vivo X60

1 of 2

Display – First of the series, the Vivo X60 is expected to sport a 6.56-inch FHD+ AMOLED centered punch-hole display. It will support a 120Hz refresh rate and resolution up to 2376×1080 pixels. Also, this time, Vivo is said to experiment with two versions of X60- one with a flat and another with a curved display.

Dimensions– Although this is yet to be known, we can expect similarities to Vivo X50, considering it has a similar-sized display. Hence the dimensions would be somewhere around 159.54 × 75.39mm. Further, the device is also expected to be the thinnest 5G smartphone with a 7.3xmm thickness

Processor, Memory- Under the hood, the device will sport Samsung’s Exynos 1080 SoC paired with 8GB RAM, 128/256GB storage. With this, Vivo is making a transition back to the Exynos as the X50 had Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 765G SoC chipset.

Camera – For cameras, the rear triple-camera setup will host a 48MP f/1.6 main lens(IMX598), 13MP ultra-wide, and 8MP portrait sensor. Upfront it will likely have a 32MP selfie shooter.

Other expected features include a 4,300mAh battery with 33W fast charging, three color variants- Blue Gradient, Black, and Shimmer.

Vivo X60 Pro

Display– Unlike the X60, the Pro variant will only have a curved display variant. It will likely be the same 6.56-inch FHD+ Flexible AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 2376×1080 pixel resolution.

Dimensions– Just like the sibling, the Vivo X60 Pro will mostly have dimensions similar to 158.46 × 72.80mm and a comparable thickness if not higher.

Processor, Memory– Same as the X60, the Pro is likely to get the Exynos 1080 SoC. However, unlike the sibling, reports say this will only have a 12GB RAM, 256GB storage.

Cameras-  An unboxing video shows that Vivo X60 Pro will crank it up a notch and include a Periscope lens. The expected lineup of sensors include 48MP f/1.6 main lens(IMX598), 13MP ultra-wide, 13MP portrait sensor, 8MP Periscope(likely with a 5x Optical, 60x Digital Zoom), and a 32MP selfie snapper.

Other expected specs include a 4,200mAh battery with 33W fast charging, two colorways- Blue Gradient and Black.

Mysterious X60 Pro+

Last year, the X50 series included a premium Vivo X50 Pro+ variant with an exclusive Primary camera and flagship processor. Similarly, reports say that Vivo will do it once again by launching a device with a similar design as the Pro, but few tweaks in specs.

The Vivo X60 Pro+ is expected to feature a Snapdragon 888 SoC paired with faster LPDDR5 and UFS 3.1 storage, a Samsung GN1 50MP 1/1.3-inch CIS(CMOS Image Sensor) along with ZEISS goodies, Hi-Fi DAC, and more.

Price

The Vivo X50 series consisting of X50, X50 Pro, X50 Pro+ began from 3,498($534), 4,298($656), and 4,998 yuan($763) respectively at launch. Hence, we can expect somewhat similar pricing to the successors. However, we would advise you to take it with a pinch of salt and wait for the official price on December 29.
