The vivo X60 series launched in India at the end of March. Three models, namely vivo X60, vivo X60 Pro, and vivo X60 Pro+ made their way to the country. Almost five months later, the vanilla model gets a price cut of ₹3000 in the region.

Lately, smartphone prices are going up in India due to the shortage of components. However, in the case of vivo X60, the price of the device goes down instead.

The smartphone debuted in the country priced at ₹37,990 and ₹41,990 for the 8GB + 128GB and 12GB + 256GB storage configurations respectively. With the ₹3000 price cut, the same variants now cost ₹34,990 and ₹39,990.

That’s not all, buyers can also avail a 10% cashback on cards issued by select banks. Additionally, customers get a one-time free screen replacement.

The vivo X60 is the most affordable model in the vivo X60 series. It comes with a 6.56-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC, 48MP (wide) + 13MP (ultra-wide, macro) + 13MP (2x telephoto) triple camera setup, 32MP punch-hole selfie camera, Funtouch OS 11.1 based on Android 11, 4,300mAh battery, and 33W fast charging.

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.

The post Vivo X70, X70 Pro likely to arrive with different chipsets in China and global markets appeared first on Gizmochina.

One of the differences between the Chinese Vivo X60 and Vivo X60 Pro is that the former has a flat display while the latter’s screen is curved. It has now been reported that Vivo plans to launch a curved screen variant of the Vivo X60.

The news comes from the trusted leaker, Digital Chat Station, and according to a post he made on the social media platform today, a curved screen version of the Vivo X60 will launch soon.

The leaker had actually revealed that there will be a curved screen version of the phone back in December before the phone was announced. In that leak, he mentioned that the curved variant will also have a smaller 4200mAh battery capacity. Save for these two differences, he said the two phones are practically the same and should have a similar price tag.

The Vivo X60 has a 6.56-inch 2376 x 1080 display with a centered punch hole and 120Hz refresh rate. There is an Exynos 1080 processor inside with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. There are three rear cameras – a 48MP camera with four-axis stabilization, a 13MP telephoto camera, and a 13MP ultrawide angle camera. For the front-facing camera, Vivo has put a 32MP sensor inside the hole in the display.

The phone also has an in-display fingerprint scanner, Face Unlock, Bluetooth 5.1, NFC, and runs OriginOS based on Android 11. Its 4300mAh battery supports 33W fast wired charging.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

After a not-so-packed third week that gave us a chance to catch our breaths, the wave of smartphone announcements for the coming week is going to be overwhelming. With phones from POCO, OnePlus, Black Shark, Honor, Vivo, realme, and Motorola, there is a lot to look forward to in the coming week.

POCO X3 Pro

POCO kicks off the week with a global launch event on Monday, March 22. It is believed that it will announce the POCO X3 Pro, an affordable 4G flagship killer, that will come with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 860 chipset. The Xiaomi offshoot is also expected to announce a second phone, the POCO F3 which has been reported to be a rebadge of the Redmi K40. This means the POCO F3 will have the Snapdragon 870 5G processor powering it, a super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, and 48MP triple rear cameras.

Vivo X60 series heads to India but the first stop is Malaysia

The Vivo X60 series will be making its way to India on March 25 but before then, it will make its first stop in Malaysia on Monday, March 22, for its global debut. It has been reported that the camera-centric phones will drop the Exynos 1080 chipset found in the China model for the Snapdragon 870 processor.

Vivo Y72 5G

Vivo will try to grab more of the spotlights on Monday when it unveils its new mid-range 5G phone, the Vivo Y72 5G in Thailand. This phone will have a MediaTek chipset at its heart, a 5000mAh battery, and 64MP triple rear cameras.

OnePlus 9 Series and OnePlus Watch

OnePlus takes over on Tuesday, March 23, for the launch of the OnePlus 9 series. Three phones are expected at the launch which should simultaneously hold in India, Europe, and the United States. There is the top-of-the-line OnePlus 9 Pro which will come along with a standard variant called the OnePlus 9 while an India-exclusive OnePlus 9R will also be announced. The much-awaited OnePlus Watch will also be unveiled at the event. China will get its own launch event on the following day.

Black Shark 4 series

On the same Tuesday, Black Shark will be unveiling its new gaming smartphones – the Black Shark 4 and Black Shark 4 Pro. These two phones will come with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 870 and Snapdragon 888 processor respectively, 144Hz AMOLED screens, 4500mAh batteries, and support for 120W fast wired charging. The phones will also have motorized shoulder buttons that retract into the frame when not needed.

Huami’s Amazfit T-Rex goes pro

If you don’t want to grab the OnePlus Watch, then you may be interested in Huami’s Amazfit T-Rex Pro smartwatch which is launching on March 23 too. This is a rugged smartwatch and it will be arriving with new features such as a new BioTracker PPG sensor and a revamped operating system.

Another Honor V40 phone, this time it’s “light and luxurious ”

The Honor V40 5G launched earlier this year as the manufacturer’s first phone following its split from Huawei. Now, it is getting a sibling that will be sold as the Honor V40 Light Luxury Edition and it is also coming on March 23.

The phone looks premium with its curved display and eye-catching rear design. It has been reported it will have support for 66W fast charging, so you can refill its 3800mAh battery in under an hour.

realme C25 and realme 8 series

realme has two events next week. The first will hold in Indonesia on March 23 and it plans to unveil the realme C25 smartphone, a budget MediaTek-powered phone with a 6000mAh battery capacity.

The following day, March 24, realme India will take the wraps off the realme 8 series. This will be a bigger event with not only more phones but more fanfare as the phones are realme’s challengers to the Redmi Note 10 series.

Motorola Edge S goes global as the Moto G100

Towards the end of last year, Motorola announced that the first Moto G smartphone with a Snapdragon 800 series processor is coming this year. On Thursday, March 25, the phone will arrive as the Moto G100. The device should be familiar to those who have been following Motorola’s announcements this year as it is a rebadge of the China-exclusive Motorola Edge S, the first flagship killer of 2021. We are excited nonetheless.

iQOO Z3

The iQOO Z3 5G is scheduled to launch in China on March 25. Reports say the phone will come with a Snapdragon processor, an FHD+ display with a 144Hz refresh rate, and support for 55W fast charging.

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.

Vivo is launching its Vivo X60 series of smartphones in India on March 25. Today, leaker Ishan Agarwal has come out with the details of their color, memory variants.

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.

Out of the three, the base model, Vivo X60 will launch in two colors- Blue, Black. It will be available for purchase in two memory variants as well. Users will get an option for an 8/12GB RAM and 128/256GB storage option.

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 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. Reports have claimed that the global variants of the X60 and X60 Pro could be equipped with Snapdragon 870. Today, Vivo Malaysia confirmed the Vivo X60 series will be breaking cover on March 22. The company also confirmed that it will be equipped with the SD870 chip.

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 Vivo X60 and X60 Pro are equipped with 6.56-inch AMOLED FHD+ displays with 120Hz refresh rate support. The vanilla model has a 4,300mAh battery, whereas the Pro version has a 4,200mAh battery. Both phones support 33W fast charging. Both models are loaded with OriginOS based Android 11 OS.

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.

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.

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.

The post Vivo X50 Pro+ to accompany X60 series India launch, could be priced at ₹40,000($550): Report appeared first on Gizmochina.

In December 2020, Vivo officially launched its flagship smartphone lineup — Vivo X60 series, and shortly after that, the devices were available for purchase in China, with a starting price of 4,998 yuan which is about $778.

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.

The post Vivo X60 series smartphones to reportedly launch in India in March or April 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.

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

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.

The last week of 2020 was nothing short of eventful. The major announcements include the launch of new smartphones that are powered by brand new chipsets. Some manufacturers also pushed out some last-minute updates, one of which ended up bricking the device and leaving users without a working phone for the new year. If you missed out on the happening from last week, this post should bring you up to speed.

Here’s the Mi 11 with/without a charger but where’s the Mi 11 Pro?

Xiaomi announced the Mi 11 on Tuesday, 29th of December as the first Snapdragon 888 phone in the world. The phone comes with a new design, impressive specs, and a killer price tag. It also comes with or without a charger for the same price tag. If you are wondering how that decision went when the phone went on sale on New Year’s Day, here you go. Looking for the Pro model? Officially, there is not one. Unofficially, it is expected to launch later.

OnePlus Band is coming too!

Pete Lau, the CEO of OnePlus already confirmed that the OnePlus Watch is coming in early 2021 but it appears that is not the wearable we will be getting. A leak gave us our first look at the OPPO OnePlus Band. With a reported price tag of under $40, OnePlus will be challenging Xiaomi’s Mi Band as well as the other several manufacturers that make fitness trackers too.

Last-minute updates, last-minute bricking!

A few manufacturers decided to roll out new updates before the year ended. The ASUS Zenfone 6 got the Android 11 update in Taiwan and Samsung also pushed out the Android 11 update for the Galaxy Note10 series and Galaxy Z Flip. Xiaomi decided to also give Mi A3 owners something to be happy with an Android 11 update about but ended up bricking (breaking) their phones (hearts).

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)

Earlier this month, three Vivo phones with model numbers V2059A, V2047A, and V2046A were approved by China’s 3C authority. These are believed to the upcoming Vivo X60 series smartphones. 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. The official images of the phone that have appeared in the recent past have revealed that its display has a top-cantered punch-hole and curved edges.

The X60 Pro has a rated battery of 4,130mAh capacity. The 3C listings of the Vivo X60 series have revealed that the Vivo X60, X60 Pro, and X60 Pro+ may come equipped with 33W fast charging. A 2.8GHz Exynos 1080 chipset fuels the X60 Pro.

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.

Recent reports have claimed that the Vivo X60 series will debut on Dec. 28. However, Vivo has now officially confirmed that the Vivo X60 series will break cover on Dec. 29. The lineup is expected to include three smartphones such as the Vivo X60, Vivo X60 Pro, and Vivo X60 Pro+.

The Vivo X60 series launch event will be held at 7:30 PM (local time) on Dec. 29.  Today, the company shared a promo of the Vivo X60 series to showcase its design. The lineup will be equipped with the second-generation micro-gimbal stabilization driven by ZEISS optics.

While the camera specs of the Vivo X60 and X60 Pro have leaked, the camera configurations of the X60 Pro Plus are not known yet. The triple camera system of the Vivo X60 is said to be equipped with an f/1.6 aperture 48-megapixel main camera, a 13-megapixel ultrawide lens, and an 8-megapixel lens for portrait shots. It is expected to arrive in variants like 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage and 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage in China. It may be available in three colors like blue gradient, black, and shimmer.

On the other side, the Vivo X60 Pro is expected to arrive in 12 GB RAM + 256 GB storage option only. It may come in two colors like blue gradient and black. The quad-camera system of the Vivo X60 Pro may feature an f/1.48 aperture 48-megapixel main shooter, a 13-megapixel ultrawide snapper, a 13-megapixel portrait lens, and an 8-megapixel telephoto sensor.

The Vivo X60 and X60 Pro are said to be fitted with 120Hz 6.55-inch AMOLED displays with top-centered selfie camera cutout. The X60 has a flat-screen, whereas the display of the Pro model has curved edges. The Exynos 1080 chipset will power both smartphones.

The X60 may house a 4,300mAh battery, while the Pro variant may get a 4,200mAh battery. The X60 series is expected to arrive with 33W fast charging support. The Snapdragon 888 mobile platform may power the Vivo X60 Pro+. It could be equipped with a more powerful camera setup.

Chinese smartphone maker vivo is expected to officially announce the vivo X60 series by the end of this month. The company is yet to reveal the exact date for the launch event, however, the devices in the series have already been listed on online retailers. Even some of their specs are out as well. Now, new interesting info regarding this series has emerged.

According to the well-known tipster Digital Chat Station, the standard vivo X60 smartphone will come in two different variants. One with a flat-screen and another with a curved display.  What’s more interesting is that the type of panel is similar (flexible AMOLED) on the two and so are their price.

That’s not all, even they will feature the exact same specs, except for the battery. As per the tipster, the flat version will be backed by a 4,300mAh battery, whereas the curved variant will come with a slightly lower 4,200mAh battery.

Hence, it seems like vivo will be testing the consumer’s display design preference by directly releasing the same phone with two different display designs. If this tip happens to be true, then vivo will become the first OEM to do a such thing as normally companies depend on surveys.

Having said that, which type of display design you prefer – flat or curved? Let us know in the comment section below.

UP NEXT: Vivo and ZEISS officially announce their global imaging partnership

The post Leak: The standard vivo X60 will come in flat and curved display variants appeared first on Gizmochina.

Vivo is buckling up to launch the Vivo X60 series of Smartphones in China. Although the Chinese giant hasn’t really stood firm on a launch date yet, it could be on December 28. In the run-up to the official reveal, an unboxing video has now joined the train of Vivo X60 Pro leaks.

A YouTube user has uploaded a short unboxing video of the upcoming Vivo X60 Pro. The video opens up to the retail packaging that looks a lot like the Vivo X60’s retail box we saw a few days back. It appears to have a Dark bluish color with a Vivo X60 Pro written on it.

Opening it up reveals the device itself. The device has a Gray rear panel with a rectangular camera layout up top and Vivo branding at the bottom. Speaking of which, the layout, as seen in some of the official renders, has the quad-camera setup. Three of the lenses are arranged like a triangle while the fourth periscope lens sits at the bottom beside the ZEISS logo.

There is an LED flashlight at the tail end(vertically) of the rear camera stack. Turning it up, we see the power and volume buttons to the right, and the curved screen with centered punch-hole upfront. We must admit that Vivo’s curved screens have come a long way(eg. 120-degree curves on Apex 2020). And it looks like the X60 series’s curves feature subtle curves like Samsung‘s devices.

At the bottom, we see that the device has a microphone, USB-C port, speaker grille, and SIM card tray. It’s worth noting that the unit that’s being unboxed here also has a ‘PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY’ slogan and a secondary mic at the top.

The next exciting part here is the UI of the device. As the user unlocks it, we are greeted with the new OriginOS. If you recall, the company unveiled the new UI based on Android 11 on November 18. It’s now almost certain that the X60 series will debut with the new UI corroborating with the earlier leak.

Anyway, the X60 series will mostly include two devices- X60, X60 Pro. However, there’s also a possibility of an X60 Pro+ with Snapdragon 888 SoC. Other than that, the rest of the devices will have an AMOLED 120Hz display, Exynos 1080 SoC, triple cameras(X60) with X60 Pro having an additional 8MP periscope lens, 33W fast charging, and more.

Vivo is expected to launch the Vivo X60 series by the end of this month. While a recent leak claimed that it may go official on Dec. 28, the Chinese firm is yet to confirm it. Ahead of the launch, the official renders of the Vivo X60 and Vivo X60 Pro smartphones have surfaced once again.

The Vivo X50 series that debuted in June came with 6.56-inch Samsung E3 AMOLED displays that offered 1080 x 2376 pixels resolution. The same display is tipped to be available on the Vivo X60 with some changes. Instead of the top-left corner selfie camera cutout available on the X50 models, the successor editions will have a top-centered punch-hole. Instead of 90Hz, the Vivo X60 will support a higher refresh rate of 120Hz. The renders show that the Vivo X60 will have a flat-screen, whereas the Pro model’s display has curved edges.

The rear appearance of the Vivo X60 series is not hugely different from the X50 lineup. The Vivo X60 has a triple camera system that includes a 48-megapixel main camera with f/1.6 aperture, a 13-megapixel ultrawide lens, and a 13-megapixel portrait snapper.

On the other side, the Vivo X60 Pro will offer users a quad-camera setup that is said to include a 48-megapixel main camera with f/1.48 aperture, a 13-megapixel ultrawide lens, a 13-megapixel portrait lens, and an 8-megapixel periscope zoom lens. The Exynos 1080 chipset will be fueling the Vivo X60 and X60 Pro will up to 12 GB of RAM. The X60 series will be the first Vivo phones to come loaded with the all-new OriginOS flavored Android 11 OS.

The Vivo X60 family also includes the Vivo X60 Pro+, which is likely to be powered by the Snapdragon 888. While it may feature the same display as the other X60 models, it may come equipped with an advanced rear camera system. The X60 series phones could be coming with 33W fast charging.

Vivo and ZEISS have today, officially announced their strategic global imaging partnership. The smartphone maker had hinted of the partnership a few days back and the news was well-received. The new partnership is expected to showcase its first product on December 29 when the Vivo X60 series is expected to go official with the technology in play.

According to a statement released by Vivo on its website, the pair will team up to establish a joint R&D program which would be known as Vivo ZEISS Imaging Lab. The program will be focused on developing innovative solutions for mobile imaging technology. Also, the program will oversee the joint development and co-engineering of optical components that would feature on Vivo flagships.

The ZEISS partnership is similar to the now-defunct partnership Nokia previously had with the German imaging giant. Already, Vivo has several imaging R&D centers around the world with a staff strength of over 700. This time around, Vivo will have access to ZEISS’s decades of experience in developing optics and optoelectronics.

Vivo also announced that the partnership also commences the Vivo ZEISS Master Photography campaign to promote newly developed imaging systems and to “inspire users to enjoy their creativity with Vivo’s flagship smartphones”.

The Vivo X60 which is the first product of the partnership will be unveiled in no distant time. The product will come with a ZEISS Vario-Tessar lenses featuring the T* anti-reflective coating according to a recent leak. The flagship smartphone is also expected to use ZEISS’ 3D PoP algorithms for bokeh rendering. The camera technology co-developed with ZEISS will be included in future Vivo high-end phones.

While the rumor mill has speculated that the X60 lineup will be made official on Dec. 28, there is no official confirmation on the launch date yet. Vivo recently confirmed that the newly unveiled Exynos 1080 will be present under the hood of the device. A new Vivo phone with model number V2047A has appeared on the Geekbench benchmarking platform with the Exynos 1080. It appears that the V2047A could be a Vivo X60 series smartphone.

The “S5E9815” text mentioned in the motherboard field in the Geekbench listing of the V2047A is the part number of the Exynos 1080 chipset. Hence, it appears that the Vivo V2047A phone could be the Vivo X60 or Vivo X60 Pro. It may not be the Vivo X60 Pro+ handset since it is expected to arrive with the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform.

The Vivo V2047A is loaded with Android 11 OS. The listing states that its SoC is coupled with 12 GB of RAM. It has scored 888 in the single-core test of the Geekbench 5 and it recorded a score of 3244 in the multi-core test.

The X60 series will be the first Vivo phones to come preinstalled with the all-new OriginOS UI.

The post Vivo X60 series design, key specs officially revealed before December end launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

Last year in December, Vivo unveiled the Vivo X30 and Vivo X30 Pro smartphones. It is speculated that this December will see the arrival of the rumored Vivo X60 series handsets such as the Vivo X60, Vivo X60 Pro, and Vivo X60 Pro+. A tipster from China has claimed that the Vivo X60 series will go official on Dec. 28.

Vivo is yet to reveal any official information on the arrival of the Vivo X60 series, but the tipster has claimed that it may debut by the end of this month. It is already known that the lineup will be fueled by the 5nm Exynos 1080 chipset.

The predecessor Vivo X30 series and Vivo X50 series came with punch-hole screens with selfie camera cutout positioned at the top-left corner.

The rumor mill is yet to spill information on the specs of the Vivo X60 series. Like the predecessor models, the X60 models are expected to offer a top-notch photography experience. The renders have revealed that it will continue to sport a camera module similar to the X50 series.

Rumors are rife that mysterious Vivo phones with model numbers Vivo V2059A, V2047A, and V2046A that were recently approved by the 3C authority of China could be the X60 series smartphones. The 3C listings revealed that these 5G-ready phones may ship with 33W fast charging support. Hopefully, these phones will soon appear at TENAA with full specifications and images.

The post Vivo X60 series may get announced on December 28 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Vivo launched the X50 series in China back in June. Both the devices in the series support 33W Flash Charging. And now, the next iteration, dubbed the Vivo X60 series is likely to sport the same charging tech.

Tipster Digital Chat Station, on Weibo, shares a screenshot of China’s 3C certification authority website containing three models of Vivo smartphones. Besides, on checking the 3C listing, we found the models V2059A, V2047A, V2046A belong to 5G smartphones. Also, all of them together support charging up to 33W(11V dc at 3A Max). If he’s true, the devices belong to the Vivo X60 series of Smartphones.

To compare, the models seem to have the same 33W flash charging as the predecessor. If you recall, two Vivo devices V2005A, V2001A with 11V, 3A(33W) designation got certified ahead of the Vivo X50 series launch. It was believed to be the X50 series of smartphones. Now we know that both the Vivo X50, X50 Pro have the same 33W charging.

Coming back, as per rumors, the Vivo X60 series will have three models- Vivo X60, X60 Pro, X60 Pro+. However, we couldn’t independently verify if the models on 3C indeed belong to the X60 series. And hence, we suggest you take this info with a grain of salt. What we do know, is that the Vivo X60 series is going back to the Exynos way like the Vivo X30 series from 2019. The devices will probably feature the recently launched Samsung Exynos 1080 SoC.

That said, the Vivo X60 will be a bit different from the X50 series in looks as well. They will have a display with a punch-hole at the center courtesy of recent leaks. Out of this, the Pro versions are likely to darn a curved display. Additionally, it looks like the X60 will retain the rectangular camera layout at the back as the X50.

The upcoming Vivo X60 is expected to lock horns with its sister’s upcoming Reno5 Pro. It is also rumored to launch at a price of 3,500 yuan(~$535). Anyway, let’s wait for Vivo to announce them officially.
