Vivo is reportedly preparing to launch the V60 5G in India on August 19, offering significant improvements over its predecessor. Leaked specs and insider tips suggest this device will elevate its camera, battery, software, and design.
OriginOS Hits Indian Shores with Robust Performance and Design
Tipster Abhishek Yadav first hinted at the V60 5G launch date on X, revealing it will be the first Vivo phone in India to ship with OriginOS based on Android 16, replacing the long‑standing Funtouch OS. Vivo is expected to equip the phone with a Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset. Marking a performance jump over the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 from the V50. Design leaks and certification listings suggest a large 6.82‑inch 1.5K AMOLED display with up to 144 Hz refresh rate. This will join a flat‑frame metal build and curved edges for a premium feel. Leaks suggest the phone will come in Mist Grey, Moonlit Blue, and Auspicious Gold.
Triple‑Camera Setup from ZEISS, Massive Battery, FlashCharge Support
Photography capabilities look strong on paper. A ZEISS‑tuned triple‑camera setup is likely, with a 64 MP main lens, 50 MP ultrawide and 48 MP tele/portrait sensor. Imaging features will include OIS, 2.5× optical zoom and 4K video recording. Selfies will be handled by a sharp 50 MP front sensor.Battery life remains a highlight. Vivo is likely to pack a hefty 6,500 mAh battery, paired with 90 W or even 100 W FlashCharge depending on the variant. Certification filings back this fast‑charging capability. Rumours indicate support for reverse charging, ideal for powering accessories on the go.
Storage, Connectivity and Software Experience
Vivo will likely ship the V60 5G with 8 GB RAM and options up to 12 GB or more with virtual RAM support, alongside 256–512 GB UFS 3.1 storage. Dual‑SIM 5G, Wi‑Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC and stereo speakers round out the connectivity suite.
Opting for OriginOS shows Vivo intent to update UX for Indian users. Android 16 with OriginOS brings a fresh interface, new widgets and smoother animations, distancing the V60 from its predecessors.
Price Outlook and Market Positioning
Early leaks suggest a sub‑₹45,000 starting price, possibly extending to ₹47,990 for higher RAM/ storage variants. This positions V60 5G squarely against mid‑range flagships from Samsung, OnePlus and iQOO, offering premium hardware without breaking the bank.
Vivo strategy seems clear: deliver a feature‑rich, design‑forward device that speaks to users seeking great cameras, robust battery life and solid performance all at a competitive price with a refined software experience. With August nearing, Vivo may be setting up one of its tightest mid‑range launches yet.
