Just about there: VIVO X60 PRO

There’s always more we can squeeze out of smartphones and Vivo’s answer to flagship performance is not through the traditional methods.

Vivo smartphones have started to get a similar look. Like the previous generation Vivo X50 and the mid-range V20 Pro, the aesthetic of the smartphone looks familiar. Although it’s up to your preference, I find this quite nice. Being able to build an identity is hard in the world of smartphones but Vivo is getting there.

The camera bump on the back is not massive too. It’s enough to keep everyone happy and the photos it delivers are phenomenal too. Don’t go comparing notes with an iPhone 12 or Samsung S21 owner but it’s worth the ₹50K you put down. In our opinion, the OnePlus 9 delivers a similar picture quality.

Photos are a wee-bit sharpened and the contrast is bumped up to look appealing. Low-light performance is better than most smartphones but you can take that with a pinch of salt.

Vivo has polished the Funtouch OS experience to match the competition but it still fills the thing with a ton of bloatware. There’s just too much unnecessary bloatware that could’ve been avoided and some permission requests that don’t seem to make sense.

The Vivo X60 Pro is fighting with the OnePlus 9 for a place in your pocket. We don’t think it delivers the best smartphone experience for the price but if camera smarts are your main priority along with the latest specs, the X60 Pro could convince you to ditch all others in the segment.
