My Thoughts

Vivo V60 looks good, comes with good camera hardware, but Vivo just refuses to use UFS 3.1 and LPDDR5X (Storage and RAM) type in the V series. UFS 2.2 Storage and LPDDR4X RAM will not cut at this price. Competition offers LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 3.1 storage, and even UFS 4.0 in the case of performance-centric phones from POCO and iQOO.

The irony is Vivo’s own Vivo T4 Ultra, whose specs you can check here, on Vivo’s Website, has a MediaTek Dimensity 9300+, UFS 3.1 Storage, LPDDR5X RAM, 50MP Sony IMX882 3X Periscopic-Telephoto!

Meanwhile, Vivo V60 has an inferior chipset, although it is fine, not too bad, but the RAM and Storage type are unacceptable.

Conclusion

Vivo V60 is a beautiful looking good phone ruined by certain choices, rest it checks all boxes for being a good phone at its price, but what it lacks cannot be made up, unless the a price cut. OPPO Reno14 is a good one, but sacrifices on the telephoto being a Samsung JN1, a smaller sensor than what the Vivo V60 has, but it comes back with a more powerful chipset, a MediaTek Dimensity 8350, UFS 3.1 Storage and LPDDR5X RAM! Both are offline-centric phones, so the comparison is being made.

Thanks for reading!
