Vivo V60e review
The V60e suits buyers who want a water-resistant phone with fast charging, reliable all-day battery, and a capable camera without spending flagship money. If you need the sharpest screen or the quickest performance in this price band, look elsewhere.
This review is based on Vivo’s published specifications and public benchmark data for the Vivo V60e, and the rating is spec-based. GoSolo does not physically test devices; where we estimate real-world behaviour such as battery life or charge time, we say so. How we rate phones.
Overview
The Vivo V60e is a sturdy mid-range phone that pairs a bright 6.77-inch AMOLED display, strong battery life, and fast 90W charging with a capable 200MP camera and IP68 durability. It hits the practical sweet spot for buyers who prioritize resilience and everyday performance over cutting-edge specs, though its 1080p resolution and older Dimensity chip mean there are faster and sharper rivals at this price.
Design & build
The V60e is slim and surprisingly light at 7.5mm and 190 grams, which makes it comfortable in the hand despite the 6.77-inch footprint. The plastic back and frame keep weight down, though they lack the perceived solidity of glass. The real standout is durability: IP68/IP69 certification means it can survive submersion in 1.5 meters of water for two hours, and the toughened Diamond Shield Glass front resists scratches better than standard tempered glass. That combination is uncommon at 290 EUR and makes this a genuinely water-resistant phone, not just water-resistant in theory.
Display
The 6.77-inch AMOLED with 120Hz refresh and HDR10+ support is the screen that justifies the price. Peak brightness hits 5000 nits, which means you can read it outdoors in direct sunlight without squinting, a real advantage at this price point where mid-range phones often struggle in daylight. The 1080p resolution is the catch: 388 ppi is passable, but not sharp. Text looks slightly softer than on 1440p phones in the same price range, and if you spend hours reading or working on detail, you may notice it. For video streaming and general use, it is fine; for productivity, it is a compromise.
Performance
The Dimensity 7360 Turbo runs everyday apps, video playback, and less demanding games at steady frame rates without stutter. It is competent, not cutting-edge. At this price, rivals already field newer or faster chips, so if you play intensive games or do heavy multitasking, you will feel the age here. The 12GB RAM option helps keep apps alive in memory, and UFS 2.2 storage is where the phone begins to feel dated: app launches and file transfers are noticeably slower than phones using UFS 3.x, which is standard in this tier now. Performance is enough to use, but not to love.
Software
Android 15 with Funtouch 15 out of the box covers the basics, and the promise of three major Android upgrades gives you a path to Android 18 eventually. Vivo's Funtouch overlay is lighter than it used to be, though it still adds bloatware that a minority of users will delete. Nothing here is broken, but nothing stands out either.
Camera
The 200MP main sensor with f/1.9 aperture and optical stabilization is the strongest point of the setup. The wide aperture and OIS mean you can shoot sharply in dim light without relying on high ISO, and the 200MP resolution gives you plenty of crop room if you need to reframe later. Real-world photos look well-balanced in daylight and hold detail in shadow. The 8MP ultrawide is basic and softens corners, as budget ultrawide cameras tend to do. The 50MP selfie is generous for a mid-ranger and produces competent video calls and vlogging. Video is serviceable at 4K with gyro-EIS and OIS, though rivals in this price band offer more refined stabilization. The camera is a strength, but not a revelation.
Battery & charging
The 6500mAh battery runs about 1.5 days with moderate mixed use (calls, messaging, video streaming), or a full day if you game or scroll heavily. That is solid endurance and one of the phone's practical wins. The 90W charger fills it in roughly 30 to 40 minutes, which means you can top up before leaving the house or office. In a market where 100W+ is becoming the norm at this price, 90W is no longer leading, but it is still fast enough to matter. There is no wireless charging, which at 290 EUR is expected.
Value & verdict-context
The V60e finds its niche as a durable, all-day workhorse with a bright screen and a camera that punches above its price. The IP68 rating, fast charging, and AMOLED display are genuinely useful features that many rivals omit or compromise on. The penalties are real: 1080p feels soft on a 6.77-inch screen, the Dimensity 7360 Turbo is aging, and UFS 2.2 storage lags the standard. For someone who values durability, battery life, and a good camera over refresh-rate bragging rights, it is a sensible buy. For someone who prioritizes screen sharpness, the fastest performance, or the latest specs, rivals offer more at the same price.
Verdict
The V60e suits buyers who want a water-resistant phone with fast charging, reliable all-day battery, and a capable camera without spending flagship money. If you need the sharpest screen or the quickest performance in this price band, look elsewhere.
- Bright AMOLED screen (5000 nits peak) stays readable in sunlight on a 6.77-inch display, rare for the price
- 90W charging refills the 6500mAh battery in under 40 minutes, genuinely practical if you charge before leaving home
- IP68 rating plus Diamond Shield Glass front means it shrugs off water, dust, and scratches without a case
- 200MP f/1.9 main camera with OIS handles low-light shots sharply and lets you crop generously later
- 1080p resolution on a 6.77-inch screen means the 388 ppi density softens fine details and text compared to 1440p rivals at this price
- Dimensity 7360 Turbo is competent but not new; rivals already offer faster chips for similar money
- UFS 2.2 storage is slower than the UFS 3.x that has become standard in this tier, affecting app launch and file transfer speeds
