The Leak Rundown

Launch Date

Abhishek Yadav posted:

“Exclusive Vivo V60 is launching in India on August 19, 2025!”
He also suggested the phone would come with Android‑16‑based OriginOS—an OS skin that has, until now, been limited to China.

OriginOS Comes to Global Markets

Until now, global Vivo smartphones have shipped with FuntouchOS. If this leak is true, Vivo V60 would mark the first time a global model ships with the China-exclusive OriginOS.

Certifications & Model Number

The phone appears as model V2511 in certification databases including SIRIM, TÜV, and EEC, and those listings confirm the presence of 90 W fast charging support.

Connection to Vivo V50

The Vivo V60 is expected to succeed the Vivo V50 in terms of design and specs. The V50 launched in India earlier this year (February), featuring a Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 processor, 6.77‑inch AMOLED display, and an IP68/69 rating.

Expected Specs – Possibly Rebranded Vivo S30

Leaks suggest that the Vivo V60 may essentially be the China-exclusive Vivo S30 under a new name. Here’s a breakdown of its likely key specs:

Chipset: Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 – solid mid-to-high-end performance.
Display: 6.67‑inch 1.5K AMOLED with a 120 Hz refresh rate.
RAM/Storage: 8 GB/12 GB RAM paired with up to 256 GB of UFS 2.2 storage.
Camera Setup:
- Rear: Triple camera system—50 MP Sony LYT700V (with OIS), 50 MP periscope telephoto (3× optical zoom), and 8 MP ultrawide.
- Front: 50 MP autofocus selfie shooter.
Battery: Large 6,500 mAh unit with 90 W fast‑charging support.
Other Features: In-display fingerprint scanner, face unlock, Wi‑Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, and IP69 rating.

Design & Color Options

Recent design renders depict a pill-shaped rear camera module hosting dual cameras and an LED flash. Color options include:

Moonlight Blue
Auspicious Gold
Mist Grey

The design also shows an oval-shaped camera island and a quad-curved front panel, similar to the Vivo S30.

OriginOS vs FuntouchOS: What’s the Difference?

OriginOS is known for its innovative visuals (such as atomic components and behavioral wallpapers), customizable Clotsky grid, and smooth animated interface.
FuntouchOS, Vivo’s primary global skin, is feature-rich but often criticized for having a sluggish UI.

If the Vivo V60 ships with OriginOS, global users may get a premium, visually rich experience similar to that enjoyed by Chinese users.

Price & Competitors

The Vivo S30 debuted in China at approximately CNY 2,699 (~₹32,000). As the possible rebranded variant for India, the Vivo V60 is likely to be priced between ₹30,000–₹40,000, placing it directly against other strong mid-range 5G contenders:

Samsung Galaxy A55 5G: Available for about ₹26,999, featuring a 6.6″ 120 Hz AMOLED display, Exynos 1480 chipset, and a capable 50 MP camera setup .
OnePlus Nord 3: Equipped with Dimensity 9000, strong design, and polished OxygenOS UI—well-reviewed for its balanced performance and value .
iQOO Neo 10: Launched at ₹31,998, powered by Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, featuring a large 6,400 mAh battery and 144 Hz AMOLED display—positioned higher in performance .

In this competitive lineup, the Vivo V60’s rumored combo of Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, 1.5K AMOLED 120 Hz screen, 90 W fast charging, and debut OriginOS skin could offer a compelling alternative—blending flagship-grade hardware with a fresh, smooth software experience that addresses some of FuntouchOS’s known UI shortcomings .

Release Timeline & Outlook

Leak launch date: August 19, 2025—though Vivo has not yet made anything official.
Promotional activity: Expect teasers or invitations from Vivo as early as the beginning of August.
Availability: Once launched, the phone will likely be sold via Amazon, Flipkart, and Vivo’s official stores.

Key Takeaways

If everything holds true, the Vivo V60 would offer:

A powerful Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 processor
A crisp 1.5K AMOLED display with 120 Hz refresh rate
90 W fast charging with a 6,500 mAh battery
Most importantly—OriginOS making its global debut

Replicating the premium experience that China got with the Vivo S30, the V60 could represent a significant shift from Vivo’s FuntouchOS era—if executed well, this could be a big win for consumers.
