A mid-range phone that doesn’t act like one

Vivo has officially lifted the curtain on its new V60e, and the first impression is clear — this isn’t your average mid-range smartphone. With a gigantic 200-megapixel primary camera, a 6,500 mAh battery, and a design that looks straight out of Vivo’s flagship lineup, the V60e is out to prove that you don’t need to spend a fortune to get a premium experience.
📸 Camera: Vivo’s 200 MP leap into the future
Vivo built its reputation around camera innovation, and the V60e keeps that legacy alive. The headline feature is, of course, the 200 MP main sensor with optical image stabilization. It’s joined by Vivo’s new AI portrait engine, which adjusts depth and color tone in real time to give shots a professional finish.
In daylight, images look crisp and colorful without the oversaturation that mid-range phones often struggle with. The large sensor captures impressive depth and shadow detail, while at night the AI engine steps in to balance exposure and reduce noise.
The front camera isn’t an afterthought either — a 50 MP selfie lens with autofocus ensures sharp, social-media-ready shots every time.
“The V60e is proof that megapixels alone don’t make a camera great — but when they’re paired with smart software, they absolutely can.”
Video performance is solid, too. Both front and rear cameras record in 4K at 60 fps, and the OIS system keeps footage smooth even while walking or panning.
🔋 Battery and Charging: Built to last
Battery life has quietly become one of the biggest deciding factors for buyers, and Vivo clearly took that seriously. The 6,500 mAh battery inside the V60e is one of the largest in its category.
In daily use — a mix of social scrolling, photo taking, streaming, and navigation — it easily crosses the one-day mark with juice to spare. Power users can still expect a full day’s comfort without carrying a charger.
And when you do need to top up, the 90 W FlashCharge adapter brings it back to 50 percent in roughly 25 minutes. Vivo’s use of Silicon-Carbon battery technology should also improve battery health over time, something heavy users will appreciate.
🖥️ Display & Design: Looks premium, feels better
The front of the V60e is dominated by a 6.77-inch AMOLED panel with a 120 Hz refresh rate, offering silky-smooth animations and punchy colors. The screen supports HDR10+ and can reach a staggering 5,000 nits of peak brightness, which means it stays visible even under direct sunlight.
Physically, it’s a stunner. The phone measures just 7.49 mm thin and weighs around 190 grams, making it surprisingly light considering the massive battery inside.
The curved glass design feels refined, while the IP68/IP69 rating gives it serious durability against dust and water. Whether you pick the subtle black or the shimmering blue finish, it looks far more expensive than it is.
⚙️ Performance: Smooth and steady
Powering the V60e is the MediaTek Dimensity 7360 Turbo 5G chipset paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage.
This setup doesn’t chase benchmark records, but in real-world use it’s fast and reliable. App switching feels instant, and even heavy games like Genshin Impact or Call of Duty Mobile run smoothly at high graphics settings.
The chip’s efficiency also means the phone runs cool — even during extended gaming or long video calls.
Vivo’s focus on optimization makes the V60e feel more fluid than some phones using more expensive processors.

🤖 Software & AI: Smarter everyday experience
The V60e runs Funtouch OS 15 based on Android 15, and Vivo has loaded it with thoughtful AI tools designed to make life easier, not gimmicky.
Here’s what stands out:
- AI Reflection Erase removes glare or unwanted reflections from photos.
- Smart Call Assistant can translate or summarize calls in real time.
- Four-Season Portrait applies subtle mood-based color tones.
- AI Voice Note automatically records and summarizes meetings or lectures.
And importantly, Vivo promises three years of major OS updates and five years of security patches, matching some of the best in the Android world.
⚖️ Where It Shines and Where It Doesn’t
| ✅ Strengths | ⚠️ Limitations |
|---|---|
| Stunning 200 MP camera | Not a gaming-focused chipset |
| Huge battery + fast 90 W charging | No wireless charging |
| Premium design & IP69 rating | Curved display may not suit everyone |
| Excellent AI features and update policy | Regional availability still limited |
💰 Pricing & Availability
The Vivo V60e starts at ₹29,999 INR for the base 8 GB + 128 GB model, while the higher 12 GB + 256 GB variant costs ₹33,999 INR.
Sales kick off on October 10, both online and in retail stores across India. Global launch dates haven’t been confirmed yet, but certification listings suggest it will reach other regions before year-end.
🌟 Verdict: A bold move for mid-range dominance
The Vivo V60e isn’t trying to compete with ultra-flagships like the Galaxy S25 Ultra or iPhone 16 Pro Max — and it doesn’t have to. Instead, it delivers a carefully balanced experience that ticks almost every box that matters: strong design, exceptional camera hardware, long battery life, and a smart, intuitive interface.
For users who want a phone that looks premium, lasts long, and takes great pictures without breaking the bank, the V60e hits that sweet spot perfectly.
Final Rating: 9 / 10
Flagship design, fantastic battery, and a truly capable camera — the V60e proves mid-range doesn’t have to mean compromise.
