Vivo has introduced the Vivo V60 as a groundbreaking smartphone for 2025, redefining documentation capabilities for festive moments like Lebaran. Unlike typical series updates, this model bridges the gap between standard and Pro-grade devices by offering an impressive triple-camera setup, headlined by a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera co-engineered with Zeiss. This camera lets users capture detailed zoom shots up to 10x, revealing textures of intricate subjects such as Batik fabrics and even the fine carvings on Candi Borobudur.
The Vivo V60’s photography prowess is enhanced by Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) on both the main 50 MP Zeiss camera and the telephoto periscope lens, ensuring sharp, blur-free shots that excel in various lighting conditions. Additionally, the compact design houses a durable 6,500 mAh battery built with innovative carbon silicon technology, allowing the phone to maintain a slim profile of just 7.5 mm thickness despite the high-capacity battery. This ensures all-day usage without frequent recharges, a critical feature for users documenting extended Lebaran activities.
Powerful Performance Backed by Snapdragon 7 Gen 4
Under the hood, the Vivo V60 pioneers the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset in Indonesia. This processor boasts a significant performance uplift with a 27% faster CPU, 30% improved GPU, and a 65% more capable NPU compared to its predecessor. AnTuTu benchmark scores approach 1 million points, placing the phone in a premium tier of processing power for its price segment.
This chipset handles popular mobile games with ease, sustaining 90 FPS in Mobile Legends and 33 FPS on medium settings in Genshin Impact without excessive heat generation. The maximum temperature observed during heavy gaming remains controlled at 43°C, ensuring comfort during extended use. Such performance makes the Vivo V60 well-suited not only for casual gaming but also for handling intensive photo and video editing tasks, essential during the festive season.
Display Brilliance for Outdoor Use
The Vivo V60 features a 6.77-inch AMOLED display with a peak brightness of 1,500 nits. This brightness surpasses that of its predecessor (V50 with 1,300 nits), providing exceptional screen visibility even under bright sunlight—perfect for capturing and reviewing photos outdoors during Lebaran gatherings. The screen supports HDR10 Plus and a 120 Hz refresh rate, enhancing multimedia consumption with vibrant colors and smooth animations.
The display is protected by Schott Sensation glass from Germany, offering durability and resistance to scratches. Additionally, a gently curved panel on all four sides creates an immersive visual experience and contributes to the phone’s slim profile.
Advanced Charging and Battery Management
One of the standout features is the fast charging capability: with 90-watt charging, the Vivo V60 reaches 18% battery in just 10 minutes and 50% in 30 minutes. This speed ensures minimal downtime, crucial during busy holiday seasons when users need to stay connected and keep capturing moments. The full charge completes in under an hour thanks to an efficient charging system, complemented by bypass charging, which protects battery health during simultaneous use and charging.
Battery consumption tests reflect excellent endurance: one hour of YouTube streaming reduces battery by only 4-5%, while 30 minutes of Mobile Legends gaming consumes just 6%, and the same period on Genshin Impact uses 10%, confirming the phone’s capability to last through extended daily use.
Additional Features Designed for Creativity and Convenience
Vivo integrates creative AI features like AI Four Seasons that adds subtle effects to photos by simulating seasonal atmospheres such as spring, summer, autumn, or winter. This feature enhances the emotional and aesthetic quality of Lebaran photos, making social media shares more engaging. Other AI enhancements include image expander tools, Magic Move for object repositioning, and AI Caption, which supports translation from foreign languages into Indonesian in video content.
The device supports eSIM technology, a first for Vivo’s V series lineup, further future-proofing connectivity options for users. Additional hardware includes dual stereo speakers with bright sound profiles, infrared blaster, gyroscope hardware, and NFC, making the phone a comprehensive multimedia and communication tool.
Design and Price Positioning
The Vivo V60 comes in three color options: Spotlight Grey with a polycarbonate back weighing 192 grams, and Festive Purple and Dancing Blue with more premium glass backs at 200 grams. Despite the large battery and advanced features, it maintains a slim and lightweight design profile ideal for comfortable daily handling.
Pricing starts around IDR 6,999,000 to IDR 8,500,000, approximately $460 to $560 USD, placing the phone firmly in the premium midrange segment. This price is highly competitive given the phone’s performance, camera innovation, and battery technology.
Noted Compromises
While the Vivo V60 excels in many areas, there are deliberate compromises to maintain affordability. The ultrawide camera has been downgraded from 50 MP in the previous V50 model to 8 MP, which is a noticeable reduction in wide-angle capacity. Front camera video recording is limited to 1080p stabilization—4K video lacks stabilization support. The phone also lacks a microSD slot, narrowing expansion options, and the vibration motor’s feel may not satisfy users seeking a premium haptic experience.
Despite these trade-offs, the primary camera system and overall feature package make the Vivo V60 a highly attractive device for capturing high-quality photos and videos during important events.
Vivo V60: A New Standard for Festive Documentation
The Vivo V60 represents a major leap in the V series lineup, providing a camera experience comparable to Pro-level devices. Its combination of a sophisticated Zeiss 50 MP periscope lens, robust Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 processor, large yet slim battery with rapid charging, and brilliant outdoor display renders it an ideal companion for documenting Lebaran moments with clarity and creativity.
This smartphone is tailored for those who want reliable performance, exceptional zoom photography, and long-lasting battery life during festive activities. It embodies a balance between innovation, practicality, and affordability that positions it as a top contender in Indonesia’s 2025 mid to premium smartphone market.
