Vivo today launched three brand new smartphones named X60, X60 Pro, and X60 Pro+. Although these smartphones debuted last year in China, today, Vivo made two of them global.
Intrinsically, the Vivo X60 and X60 Pro are your token mid-rangers with a slew of high-end specs, including a Snapdragon 870 chipset, while the X60 Pro+ is the ultimate flagship with Zeiss branding for cameras. With the X60 Pro+, Vivo challenges the OnePlus 9 Pro that comes with Hasselblad branding. The Vivo X60 Pro+ has launched in India but not the other markets.
Vivo X60+ Rivals OnePlus 9 Pro With Zeiss Branding
The X60 Pro+ comes with a 6.56-inch full-HD+ AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 120Hz and a 240Hz touch sampling rate. It runs Android 11-based Funtouch OS 11.1 out-of-the-box. A Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset powers the device with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage.
The USP of this phone is its Zeiss-branded camera setup. The 50MP ISOCELL GN1 lens on the phone is the same lens expected to feature on Xiaomi’s upcoming Mi 11 Ultra smartphone. Samsung boasts the ISOCELL sensor as the one aimed at “elevated light sensitivity for stellar low-light photos and DSLR-level auto-focus speeds, optimized for more dynamic picture-taking experiences”, with these specs, the phone rivals OnePlus’s recent 9 Pro.
The quad-camera setup on the rear features a 50MP GN1 sensor with OIS and an f/1.57 aperture, a 48MP Sony IMX 598 sensor supported by Gimbal stabilization, and an f/2.2 aperture, a 32MP sensor with an f/2.08 aperture, and an 8MP sensor with an f/3.4 aperture. On the front, there is a 32MP selfie snapper featuring an f/2.45 aperture.
The X60 Pro+ supports 5G, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.2, GPS, NFC, Bluetooth 5.2, and a USB Type-C port on the connectivity front. It has an in-display fingerprint scanner and a 4,200mAh battery with support for 55W FlashCharge fast charging.
