Vivo has announced its new flagship smartphones under the X60 series – the Vivo X60 and Vivo X60 Pro with the Exynos 1080 SoC, just hours after Xiaomi unveiled the Mi 11 with Snapdragon 888. The series is the first to be powered by Samsung’s Exynos 1080 5nm EUV SoC (1x Cortex-A78 @ 2.8GHz + 3x Cortex-A78 @ 2.6GHz + 4x Cortex-A55 @ 2.0GHz) with Mali-G78 MP10 GPU and built-in 5G.
Both models have a 6.56-inch FHD+ E3 AMOLED screen with 120Hz refresh rate, 240Hz touch sampling rate, 92.7% screen-to-body ratio and HDR10+ support. They also have a 32MP (f/2.45) selfie camera in the punch-hole notch, in-display fingerprint sensor and come pre-loaded with OriginOS 1.0 (based on Android 11). The difference lies in the memory configuration, cameras, and battery capacities.
The Vivo X60 Pro is equipped with a quad camera setup with Zeiss optics lenses. The line-up includes a 48MP (f/1.48, Sony IMX598 sensor, 2nd-gen 4-axis OIS) main camera, 13MP (f/2.46, 50mm) portrait camera, 13MP (f/2.2, 120° FOV, 2.5cm macro) ultra-wide camera and 8MP (f/3.4, 5x optical zoom, up to 60x Zoom) periscope camera. The X60 has the same setup except the Periscope camera.
The X60 Pro (7.59mm, 178g) is available in a single 12GB RAM + 256GB storage config and depends on a 4,200mAh battery with 33W fast charging while the X60 (7.36mm, 175.6g) is available in either 8GB RAM with either 128GB or 256GB storage options and depends on a 4,300mAh battery with 33W fast charging. The rest of the specs include Bluetooth 5.1, and USB Type-C (audio).
The Vivo X60 is available for CNY 3,498 and CNY 3,798 for the 8GB + 128GB and 8GB + 256GB models respectively and arrives in Black Force, Splendid and White Shimmer colours. While the Pro model (12GB + 256GB) is on sale for CNY 4,498 and available in Black Force and Splendid colour only. According to Vivo, the X60 series are open for pre-orders and will go on sale starting January 8 in china. While there is no word on global availability, the company plans to release the high-end Vivo X60 Pro+ with Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 around late January 2021.
