Vivo S60: AMOLED Display, Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 and 7,200mAh Battery

Vivo officially launched the Vivo S60 on May 29, 2026 in China, together with the Vivo S60 Vitality Edition. This model starts at CNY 3,599, which converts to roughly ₱32,699, Rs 50,630, or $540. It comes in three storage options to suit different needs.

Here is the full pricing breakdown with conversions:

• 12GB + 256GB: 3,599 CNY (~₱32,699, ~Rs 50,630, ~$540)
• 12GB + 512GB: 3,999 CNY (~₱36,300, ~Rs 56,250, ~$600)
• 16GB + 512GB: 4,399 CNY (~₱39,900, ~Rs 61,880, ~$660)

You can pick from three nice colors namely Starry Sea, Early Summer Green, and Midsummer Night. According to the brand as announced on Weibo, sales start on June 3, 2026. You will be able to buy it through Vivo’s official online store and authorized retailers across China.

For buyers outside China especially in India and the Philippines, do not expect to see this exact model name. Following Vivo’s usual release cycle, phones from the S‑series are usually tweaked slightly and rebranded under the V‑series name for global markets. So you will likely get the same device or a very close version but sold as a Vivo V‑series model.

A Mid‑range Phone With Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, Sony LYTIA Camera, and Massive Battery

Under the hood, the Vivo S60 runs on the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset. It pairs this with up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage. On Antutu tests as mentioned on their website, it scores over 2.01 million points. That is impressive performance that actually competes with many flagship phones today. Software wise, it ships with OriginOS 6 built on Android 16. Vivo also promises 4 years of operating system updates and 6 years of security patches, so this phone will stay safe and current for a long time.

Camera wise, it is well equipped for both photos and videos. The main rear camera is 50MP and uses the Sony LYTIA 700V sensor with optical image stabilization. Next to it is an 8MP ultra‑wide lens for wider shots and landscapes. You also get a 50MP periscope telephoto camera. This one has OIS too, offers 3x true optical zoom, and can go up to 100x digital zoom for distant subjects. For selfies and video calls, the front camera is a 50MP shooter with auto focus so you get clear and sharp close ups every time. The main camera can shoot up to 4K Live, and you can watch footage captured by this phone on Weibo.

One of its biggest highlights is definitely the battery. It uses a silicon‑carbon design with a massive 7,200mAh capacity. Even with that huge size, the phone stays slim. Charging speed is fast at 90W, so you can top it up quickly when needed. Other features include a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor under the screen, stereo speakers, an X‑axis linear motor for good vibration feedback, NFC for contactless payments, and an IR blaster so you can use it as a remote control.

Verdict

Performance

This is easily flagship level performance packed into a mid‑range price point. The Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 handles heavy games, multitasking, and daily apps without any trouble. Benchmark scores prove it is strong enough for anything you throw at it. Plus the long software support means it will still feel fast and secure years from now.

Camera

You get a very versatile camera system here. The main camera takes detailed and bright shots even in tricky light thanks to the big sensor and stabilization. The periscope lens is a nice addition rarely seen in this price range, giving you clear zoomed photos. Selfies are sharp and well focused too. It is great for people who like taking all kinds of photos.

Battery

The 7,200mAh battery is the star feature here. Most phones top out around 5,000 or 6,000mAh, so this one easily lasts one and a half to two full days with normal use. Even heavy users will rarely need to charge it mid‑day. And when you do plug it in, 90W speed means you are back to full in no time.

✅ Buy it if:

• You want the longest possible battery life without carrying a heavy or thick phone
• You love taking photos especially zoomed shots or selfies
• You want flagship speed and long software updates at a more reasonable price
• You like having premium extras like stereo sound and IR blaster

❌ Don’t buy it if:

• You prefer very large screens bigger than 6.6 inches
• You do not care much about zoom cameras or long battery life
• You are waiting for this exact model name to launch outside China since it will come as a V‑series instead
• You want wireless charging as this model only supports wired speed
