Vivo S60 Series Review: If you look at the smartphone market today, every other phone looks the same—same square box, same big camera bump. But Vivo’s S-series has always been known to stand out from the crowd. The company has launched its new Vivo S60 Series in the market and has claimed that this phone is a small studio kept in your pocket.
But is this series, which comes in the range of ₹ 35,000 to ₹ 45,000, only for reels makers or is it a value for money deal for the common user also? Let’s get straight to the point without any further ado.
Those 3 things that will make you fall in love with this phone
1. Not a camera, it’s a ‘magic wand’!
If you are fond of taking pictures or someone in your house is addicted to posting reels and posts on Instagram, then this phone is made for you. Vivo has tuned its 50MP front and back cameras in such a way that it makes your photos shine even in poor lighting. Its portrait mode works so wonders that it blurs the background just like an expensive DSLR camera. Girls will go crazy about its beauty mode and skin tone management!
2. “Brother, is it a phone or a feather?” (Design and Display)
As soon as you hold this phone in your hand, the first sound that will come out of your mouth will be – “Wow! This phone is so thin and light that it is not even noticeable if it is kept in the pocket of jeans. When its 3D curved display bends from the edges, the fun of using the phone doubles. Even in sunlight, its screen remains so bright that you will not have to squint your eyes to see.
3. Half an hour charge, whole day’s rest
Nowadays, many expensive brands disappear the charger from the phone box. But Vivo has shown generosity here. The superfast flash charger available in the box fully charges this phone by the time you wake up in the morning and finish tea and breakfast (just 30 minutes). And due to the large battery of 5000mAh, you will not have to worry about finding a charger throughout the day.
Those 2 bitter things that Vivo people will never tell you
1. Why bloatware in a phone worth ₹40,000?
When a person spends ₹40,000, he expects to get a clean premium software. But as soon as you turn on the phone in Vivo’s Funtouch OS, you will see useless folders and apps like ‘Hot Apps’ and ‘Hot Games’ which send strange notifications again and again. Although, you can turn them off in Settings, but seeing this junk in this budget spoils the mood.
2. It looks ‘cool’, but gets ‘hot’ in heavy gaming
The simple fact is that if you are buying this phone only because you will be playing heavy games (like BGMI or heavy graphics games) on it all day and night, then stop! Its processor is butter for daily work, YouTube, reel scrolling and multitasking. But when you play it continuously for 1 hour, it starts getting a little hot due to its thinness and the game starts lagging slightly.
the last and true decision
Vivo S60 Series is not made for everyone, it has its own special audience:
- Take it with your eyes closed: If camera (especially selfie and portrait), premium look, slim design and fast charging are the top things for you. It is difficult to counter it in this case.
- Stay away from: If you are a die-hard gamer, use your phone rough and tough and like clean software (without unnecessary apps).
