Every time Vivo launches a new phone in its popular V series, people get excited — and rightly so. The V series has always been known for its camera excellence and stylish looks. This time, with the Vivo V60e 5G, the company has gone all out. From a 200MP camera to a massive 6500mAh battery, and even IP68 and IP69 certifications, Vivo has added features that were earlier reserved for premium flagships. I recently got my hands on the Vivo V60e, and after spending a few days with it, here’s my honest experience — how it feels, performs, and whether it’s truly worth your money.
First Impressions: Slim, Sleek, and Premium
The very first thing I noticed after unboxing the phone was how surprisingly slim it felt, especially considering that it packs such a large battery. Vivo has done an amazing job balancing design and weight — it’s around 192 grams, which feels light in hand for a 6500mAh device.
The back panel is polycarbonate with a matte finish, so fingerprints don’t bother you much. The phone is available in Noble Gold and Illight Purple — both look stunning under light. The design feels quite similar to the Vivo V60, which is not a bad thing at all since that phone already looked beautiful.
Even better, the V60e is IP68 and IP69 certified, meaning it can survive dust, splashes, and even short dips in water — something we usually don’t expect in this segment.
Display and Build Quality
The V60e sports a 6.78-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate and 1600 nits peak brightness. The colors pop beautifully, and the contrast is rich — perfect for Netflix, YouTube, or even scrolling through Instagram.
Vivo has used a new Diamond Shield Glass Protection, which feels quite sturdy. During my test, I even dropped it once accidentally (not intentionally, I swear), and it survived without a scratch. So, brownie points for durability too.

The Camera: A Step Up for Vivo Fans
Vivo has always been known for its camera phones, and this one is no exception. The 200MP main sensor captures stunning detail, while the 8MP ultra-wide lens adds versatility. You also get a 50MP front camera that supports AI autofocus, which makes selfies sharp and natural. I tested the phone in various lighting conditions — indoors, outdoors, and even during Diwali lighting — and the results were impressive. Colors were punchy but not overly saturated, and the portraits had that “Vivo softness” which most Indian users love.
The Portrait Mode now comes with multi-focal options — 23mm, 35mm, 50mm, and 85mm — letting you choose how close or wide you want your frame. The wedding style portrait mode is another highlight, especially for festive or shaadi season photos. For videos, you can shoot in 4K at 30fps from both front and rear cameras. Plus, there’s EIS stabilization, so your vlogs or travel shots come out smooth even when you’re walking.
Real-World Performance
The Vivo V60e is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7360 Turbo processor built on the 4nm architecture. While it’s not a hardcore gaming chipset, it handles everyday tasks beautifully.
I played a few sessions of BGMI on it — the gameplay was smooth at 60fps, with no frame drops or heating issues. The phone also includes a game boost mode for better performance.
In benchmarks, it scored around 889,000+ on AnTuTu, which is quite solid for a mid-range phone. For casual users, multitaskers, and light gamers, this phone easily checks all boxes.
Battery and Charging
Here’s where Vivo has made the biggest leap. The 6500mAh battery can easily last a full day and a half with moderate use — that includes social media, camera, music, and some gaming.
The 90W FlashCharge adapter included in the box can charge the phone from 0 to 50% in just 25 minutes, which is a big relief for people always on the go.
Battery life has improved significantly from the last generation (Vivo V50e, which had 5600mAh), making the V60e one of the most long-lasting phones in its category.
Software and User Experience
The phone runs on Funtouch OS 15, based on Android 15. Vivo promises 4 years of OS updates and 6 years of security updates, which adds long-term value.
There are a few pre-installed apps (bloatware), but most of them can be easily uninstalled. The UI feels smooth and polished, with some nice touches like AI Reflection Erase, AI Seasonal Portrait, and Google Gemini integration.
The new AI Festival Portrait Mode is quite fun — it automatically adds festive lights and decorations to your photos, perfect for those Instagram-ready moments.
Connectivity and Extras
In terms of connectivity, the Vivo V60e supports 5G + 5G dual SIM, 10 5G bands, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.4, and NFC. There’s also an IR blaster on top — a small but handy feature for controlling your TV or AC. The phone also gets stereo speakers, in-display fingerprint sensor, and face unlock, both of which work pretty fast.
Price and Verdict
At the time of writing, Vivo hasn’t officially revealed the final price, but it’s expected to be around 27,000 to 30,000 in India. So, is it worth it? If you’re looking for a stylish phone with a premium look, stellar camera performance, and massive battery life, then yes — Vivo V60e 5G is an excellent option in the mid-range segment.
It’s not made for hardcore gamers, but for those who prioritize design, camera, and everyday reliability, this phone fits perfectly. The upgrades from last year are meaningful — especially the camera and battery — making it a strong all-rounder.
Final Thoughts
After using the Vivo V60e 5G for a few days, it genuinely feels like Vivo is trying to give users the premium experience of its flagship models at a lower price point. The camera is clearly its star feature, while the smooth performance and long battery backup make it a dependable everyday companion.
If you’re someone who loves clicking photos, shooting vlogs, or just wants a phone that looks and feels classy without breaking the bank, the Vivo V60e 5G will definitely make you smile every time you pick it up. So yes, this time Vivo has played it smart — and the result is a phone that balances style, performance, and practicality beautifull
