As scheduled, Vivo today officially announced the Vivo Y600 Turbo in China. It is the second biggest battery phone from Vivo — after the Vivo Y600 Pro — featuring a massive 9020mAh (typical 9000mAh) capacity. 

Vivo claims the battery can retain at least 80% health after 1200 charge cycles. It also supports 90W fast charging, along with reverse wired charging and global direct power supply.

Despite featuring a big cell, the device measures just 8.29mm and weighs 215 grams. It is available in three color options: Dune Gold, Electric Blue, and Millennium Pink. 

Vivo Y600 Turbo Specifications 

The Vivo Y600 Turbo is built around a 6.83-inch AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution (2800×1260). It supports a 120Hz refresh rate, up to 5000 nits peak brightness, and 1.07 billion colors, along with 4320Hz high-frequency PWM dimming for eye comfort. 

Under the hood, the phone runs on the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 mobile platform, built on a 4nm process. This is paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage, using LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. Graphics are handled by the Adreno 810 GPU.

For cameras, the device includes a 50MP main rear camera and a 2MP depth sensor, while the front has an 8MP selfie camera. Both front and rear cameras support EIS stabilization, and the rear camera can record up to 4K video.

The phone runs on OriginOS 6 and supports 5G connectivity, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, in-display fingerprint scanning, and multiple navigation systems. Ingress protection is handled by IP68 and IP69 ratings. 

Price and Availability

Pricing starts at 2299 yuan (~ $339) for the 8GB+256GB model, 2599 yuan (~$382) for the 12GB+256GB version, and 2899 yuan (~ $426) for the 12GB+512GB variant. The early sale price drops as low as 2099 yuan (~$308) with additional national subsidies.

The post Vivo launches Vivo Y600 Turbo with massive 9020mAh battery, 5000 nits AMOLED display appeared first on Gizmochina.

Battery life continues to be a deal breaker for smartphone buyers, especially in the mid-range segment, and Vivo seems ready to lean heavily into that with the upcoming Y600 Turbo.

The company has started teasing the phone ahead of its May 25 launch in China, and the biggest highlight is easily its enormous 9000mAh battery. Some early listings mention an actual rated capacity of around 9020mAh, making it one of the largest batteries we’ve seen in a mainstream smartphone so far.

Vivo claims it is designed to maintain healthy capacity for up to six years of use. The company is also promising five years of sustained smoothness, with software optimizations aimed at keeping the device responsive over longer ownership periods. According to Vivo, the phone can keep as many as 30 apps running smoothly in the background without major slowdowns.

Durability also seems to be a major focus here. The Y600 Turbo has received both IP68 and IP69 ratings for water and dust resistance, alongside certifications for surviving multiple environmental and durability tests. That is still relatively uncommon in this price segment, especially for phones prioritizing battery capacity.

The device has already gone up for pre-order in China and will be available in blue, white, and pink color options. While Vivo has not revealed the full hardware package yet, the phone is expected to target users looking for reliable day-to-day performance, long battery life, and decent multitasking capabilities rather than outright flagship-level power.

Vivo’s newer battery-focused strategy has been getting more noticeable lately. Instead of only pushing bigger capacities, the company is also emphasizing long-term battery health, better low-temperature performance, and overall longevity.

For users who are tired of charging their phones every night, the Y600 Turbo could end up being one of the more interesting mid-range launches this year. Between the massive battery, stronger durability ratings, and Vivo’s software optimization claims, the phone is clearly being positioned as an endurance-focused device first and foremost.

The post Vivo Y600 Turbo teaser confirms massive 9000mAh battery appeared first on Gizmochina.

Last month, Vivo unveiled the Vivo Y600 Pro equipped with a massive 10,200mAh battery. The brand has now started teasing a new phone dubbed the Vivo Y600 Turbo. Here’s a look at what to expect from the upcoming device.

Vivo Y600 Turbo specifications (expected)

The poster above confirms that the Vivo Y600 Turbo will be available in white and pink shades. Rumors suggest that it could become Vivo’s first smartphone to support a 165Hz refresh rate. The device is expected to feature a 6.83-inch OLED panel with a 1.5K resolution.

Under the hood, the phone may feature the Dimensity 8500 chipset along with a huge 9,020mAh battery that supports 90W fast charging. On the back, it is expected to feature a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-600 primary camera paired with a 2-megapixel secondary sensor. For selfies, the device may include a 16-megapixel front camera.

Like recent Vivo smartphones, the Y600 Turbo is also expected to run on Android 16 with OriginOS 6 on top. It may come equipped with LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 3.1 storage, although the exact configurations are yet to be confirmed.

The Vivo Y600 Turbo appears to be a rebranded version of the iQOO Z11, which debuted in China in March. The iQOO device was launched at 2,299 Yuan (around $340) for the 8GB + 256GB variant. The Y600 Turbo is likely to arrive in China with similar pricing.

Apart from the Y600 Turbo, Vivo is also preparing to launch the Vivo S60 series in China. Scheduled to debut on May 29, the lineup is expected to include the Vivo S60 and Vivo S60 Vitality Edition. These camera-focused mid-range phones are said to feature the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 and Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipsets, respectively.
