When it comes to pathbreaking engineering and cutting-edge technology, one can always count on vivo on raising the bar. Last year, with the launch of their X50 series, they introduced, for the first time ever, groundbreaking gimbal stabilisation into their smartphones. This year is no different either. vivo announced its partnership with ZEISS, a name that is world renowned for creating superior lens optics, to give you three phones—the vivo X60, vivo X60 Pro and the vivo X60 Pro+. For this review, I was handed the vivo X60 Pro+ to test its mettle.

What the Phone Packs

The X60 Pro+ comes in a stylish and sophisticated vegan leather design with front to back 3D curvature. This is great as opposed to having a glass back exterior which is prone to smudges. The phone is driven by the very latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 5G chipset, 12GB RAM, and 256GB of high speed internal memory.

The phone features four rear cameras in a dual main camera configuration (50MP GN1 sensor, f/1.57, with100MP super HD mode + 48MP main customised, gimbal mounted Sony IMX 598 114°ultra-wide sensor + 32MP portrait lens + 8MP OIS enabled periscope zoom lens with up to 5x optical zoom and 60x digital zoom). On the front, there is a 32MP f/2.45 camera. The phone also features a 6.56inch AMOLED FHD+ screen with a 120Hz refresh rate.
