Bringing Advanced Imaging Features to Users
vivo has refined its existing imaging technologies to be implemented in the X60 Pro 5G, starting with Gimbal Stabilization 2.0. With the latest Gimbal Camera System and creatively utilised Pixel Shift Ultra HD Imaging technology, the X60 Pro 5G camera system supplements enhancement of image details and sharpness after eight pictures are taken in parallel to help users get ultra-HD images. The X60 Pro 5G also utilises VIS 5-axis video stabilization technology, allowing users to obtain clear shots of objects in dynamic motion with greater accuracy. Additionally, Extreme Night Vision 2.0 helps users to recreate the million shades of night with a single tap, capturing the impressive expanse of the night through vivo’s innovative AI noise reduction algorithm.
The X60 series 5G is home to a diverse set of multi-modal photography and videography features that are hallmarks of vivo technology. Through the Cinematic Master feature, great cinematic footage can be filmed on a 2.35:1 widescreen aspect ratio with clever audio zoom and direction sound input. Depending on their situational needs, users may also choose between HDR Super Night Portrait, Ultra-Wide Night Mode, Super Pano, Pro Sports Mode, Kids Snapshot, Multi-Style Portrait and Long-Exposure Mode, amongst many others.
Optimal Power and Flagship Performance
The vivo X60 series 5G harnesses power, connectivity and speed that can satisfy contemporary high-end smartphone users, who demand exceptional device performance. The vivo X60 series 5G sports the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 processor that promises smoother daily user experiences. With a substantial boost in CPU and GPU performance, these energy efficient processors contain integrated 5G basebands that can make the user’s 5G wireless network lightning fast with minimal latency.

Ultra-Thin Design with Premium Aesthetics
Notwithstanding the multitude of powerful features and cutting-edge capabilities of the X60 series 5G, vivo has managed to encapsulate all of this technology into slim constructs and lightweight shells. Both X60 Pro 5G and X60 5G are complete with a stunning 6.56-inch flexible Ultra O Screen containing a 3.96mm front camera punch hole centered at the top with ultra-narrow bezels. Exuding elegant 3D curvature with futuristic aesthetics, the X60 series 5G has carried on the elegance of the X50 with super slender curves and a sleek silhouette. The contours are more captivating than ever and adorned with a choker – a beautiful band that runs along the top edge to complete a picture of grace with sophisticated touch and feel.
The rear cameras are encased within the vivo X60 series 5G’ New Dual-Tone Step, an ingenious layered design that refrains from an otherwise bulky look. Fashioned in thin cascading panels that rise in subtle steps, the Dual-Tone Step integrates all of the professional-grade imaging technologies and photography features co-engineered with ZEISS.
