Vivo has expanded its premium mid-range smartphone portfolio in China with the launch of the Vivo S60 and Vivo S60e. The Vivo S60 series ships with notable upgrades from its predecessors S50 series, in terms of photography and battery life, while retaining a compact form factor.
A key highlight of the Vivo S60 series is its massive 7,200mAh battery, which is paired with 90W fast charging support. Despite the large battery, both devices maintain a slim 7.92mm profile and weigh around 199g, making them easier to handle.
Vivo S60 series specs and features
The Vivo S60 and Vivo S60e feature a 6.59-inch flat display with a 1.5K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. Both devices feature a premium metal frame and a seamless glass rear panel.
The two smartphones differ mainly in terms of processing power. The Vivo S60 is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset. Meanwhile, the Vivo S60e is equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 7500 processor.
For photography, both devices feature a 50-megapixel front-facing camera for selfies and video calls.
The Vivo S60 comes with a triple rear camera setup consisting of a 50-megapixel primary sensor, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera and a 50-megapixel Sony IMX882 periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom.
The Vivo S60e retains the 50-megapixel primary camera and 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens but misses out on the dedicated telephoto sensor.
Both smartphones are backed by Vivo’s 7,200mAh Blue Ocean battery and support 90W wired fast charging.
The Vivo S60 series also includes a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, stereo dual speakers, and IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance.
Vivo has additionally introduced a new “Gu Mei Component” feature that brings interactive character elements to the lock screen and home screen. In China, the company is also offering an exclusive visual theme inspired by actress Tian Xiwei.
