Samsung Galaxy A17 5G review: Anything new?

Today we have the new Samsung Galaxy A17 5G with us. This phone is the successor to last year’s popular A16 5G. In fact, the A16 was one of the best-selling phones in Nepal last year. The A17 5G starts at NPR 29,000 in Nepal. Looking at the specs, Samsung has improved certain aspects, though in some areas it could have been better. Overall, the phone shows a balance of improvements and minor compromises. Now, without further ado, let’s dive in this review article to discuss everything we experienced using this device.

Samsung Galaxy A17 5G Review

Design and Build

Starting with design, Samsung has done a good job with the look and hands-on feel. Earlier, budget A-series phones usually came with a plastic back, but now the A17 features a glass back. The design resembles the A35 and A55 series, and the overall feel is premium for a budget phone. The display protection is strong, featuring Gorilla Glass Victus, and it also has an IP54 dust and water resistance rating. While IP67 would have been better, it’s still a solid improvement.

The phone retains a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, which is fast and positioned comfortably, even for users with smaller hands. In terms of design and build quality, I would rate this phone highly.

Display

Galaxy A17 5G multitasking

There are no major upgrades on the display side. It has the same 6.7-inch Super AMOLED screen, supporting a 90 Hz refresh rate and 800 nits brightness. A 120 Hz refresh rate would have offered a slightly smoother experience.

The phone still features a tear-drop notch, which feels outdated for a phone priced around NPR 30,000. Despite that, the display quality is good, though the notch slightly affects the visual experience. The A17 has a single speaker, not stereo, but it is loud enough, so there’s no major issue.

Performance

Galaxy A17 5G performance

The significant drawback is that the phone uses the Exynos 1330 chipset, also found in the A14 5G from three years ago. Samsung has optimized it over the years, but it cannot be called a powerful chipset. It’s sufficient for social media, calls, and messaging, but not for heavy tasks.

For gaming, this phone is not suitable. Games like PUBG run at around 30 fps, and Mobile Legends can reach up to 90 fps, but with occasional stutters. Users wanting a smoother gaming experience should consider options from brands like Nothing or Infinix, which offer better performance-focused phones.

Samsung’s saving grace is its software. The phone receives Android and security updates for up to six years. One UI is user-friendly, feature-rich, and easy to navigate even for first-time smartphone users.

There is some bloatware, particularly the “App Cloud” app, which collects personal information such as gender and cannot be uninstalled.

Camera

Samsung rarely disappoints in camera performance, and the A17 delivers decent photos. The camera specs are largely the same as the A16, but the main camera now includes OIS (optical image stabilization).

Being a budget phone, moving objects may not always be perfectly sharp, but regular photos are crisp with good color reproduction.

Even in slightly gloomy weather, the phone produces vibrant, eye-catching photos. Portraits are pleasing, although there is no 2x zoom option for portrait mode. Selfies are also good.

The ultra-wide camera is only 5MP, but it delivers decent detail and color if zooming is avoided.

Night photos using night mode balance exposure and sharpness well, though sometimes the images can appear slightly hazy or bluish.

For video, the phone supports up to 1080p recording. With EIS (electronic image stabilization), the footage is stable, though detail is limited. For casual video recording, it is good enough.

Battery and Charging

The A17 has a 5,000 mAh battery with good endurance, providing around seven hours of screen-on time under normal usage. The free 25-watt charger can charge the phone fully in about an hour.

Samsung Galaxy A17 5G Review: Pros and Cons

Pros:

  • Premium design
  • Good display
  • Reliable camera
  • Long battery life

Cons:

  • Weak gaming performance
  • Tear-drop notch
  • Single speaker

Samsung Galaxy A17 5G Review: Conclusion

At a price of around NPR 30,000, the Samsung Galaxy A17 5G is a solid choice if you prefer a Samsung phone. For performance-focused users who want to play games, alternatives like the Redmi Note 14 or CMF Phone 1 may be better. However, for normal social media use, calls, and good camera quality, the A17 is a reliable option. The 8GB variant offers slightly better performance.

Vivo V60 review: Best phone under 70k?

If you didn’t know, Vivo’s V-series gets updated every 6 months! V40 came a year ago, V50 six months ago, and that’s one of the reasons Vivo’s V-series is getting quite popular in Nepal — in the 60–70 thousand NPR premium midrange category. And in India as well, Vivo is currently the No.1 brand in terms of volume sales, selling more phones than Samsung. And Vivo’s recent flagship phone, the X200 Pro… that phone is currently the best camera phone for the price!

And with this phone, the V60, Vivo has brought some really nice upgrades — especially in the camera department! I’ll explain all of this in the article. Let’s dive in!

Vivo V60 Specifications:

  • Design and build: 163.53 x 76.96 x 7.53 – 7.75 mm, 192 – 201 gm
  • Color options: Mist Gray, Auspicious Gold, Moonlit Blue
  • Durability: IP68/69 dust and water resistant
  • Display: 6.77-inch FHD+ AMOLED panel, 120Hz refresh rate, 1,500 nits peak brightness (HBM), HDR10+
  • Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 (4nm mobile platform)
  • Memory: Up to 16GB LPDDR4X RAM, Up to 512GB UFS 2.1 storage (non-expandable)
  • Software & UI: Funtouch OS 15 on top of Android 15
  • Rear cameras: Triple (50MP primary, 50MP 3x telephoto, 8MP ultrawide)
  • Front camera: 50MP sensor (hole-punch)
  • Security: Fingerprint sensor (optical in-display)
  • Battery: 6,500 mAh with 90W charging (90W adapter inside the box)

Vivo V60 Review

Camera

Okay, the biggest upgrade in the Vivo V60 this time is in the camera! It has a 3X periscope zoom lens — the first time in the Vivo V-series! While the zoom lens can take photos at 3X, 5X, and 10X, the main advantage of the 3X lens is for portraits.

In Portrait mode, you can now shoot at different focal lengths. The main camera offers 23mm, 35mm, and 50mm modes, while the 3X periscope camera gives 85mm and 100mm modes. Photos taken at 85mm and 100mm are excellent — much better than what you get on phones in this price range like the Galaxy A56 or OnePlus Nord 5.

Additionally, this phone has Zeiss optimization like Vivo’s flagship phones, so skin tones in portraits are accurate, and the blur effect is excellent! It’s obviously not as strong as the X200 Pro, but for a midrange phone, the Vivo V60 can take amazing portraits. Even in low light, I got really good portrait shots. There are also different portrait modes such as Wedding, B/W, and Festival modes, allowing creative flexibility for different types of portraits.

Another upgrade is the selfie camera. Selfies are very wide, and there’s a 0.8X mode, which is helpful for group selfies. Even when vlogging, you don’t need to stretch your arm — the field of view is excellent. Vivo is also one of the few brands whose selfie camera has autofocus and good skin tone/highlight management. So selfies are definitely much better than the competition.

Considering the price, the main 50MP camera takes great photos with good details and dynamic range — both during the day and at night. Most of my photos were taken in Zeiss mode, which produces natural colors. If you prefer more vibrant photos, you can use Zeiss Vivid mode.

The downside of the camera this time is the ultra-wide (U/W) camera. The V40 and V50 had 50MP U/W cameras, but the V60 has an 8MP U/W camera. Its output is not that great — details are limited, dynamic range is compromised, and you can only record video in Full HD, with no 4K option.

Similarly, for main camera videography, considering the price, it could perform better. There’s no 4K at 60fps, and 4K 30fps videos are just okay, nothing extraordinary. But overall, camera-wise, this is the best camera phone under 70,000 NPR.

Design

Okay, the camera is good, but at 70,000 NPR, how do other aspects perform? Let’s start with design and display. Design-wise, Vivo gives a clean setup. The camera module looks like the X200 FE, which I like more than the large module on the Vivo V50.

The phone has a 6500mAh battery but isn’t too heavy. It has IP68 + IP69 rating, which is more robust than the IP65/67 ratings found on Samsung, OnePlus, or Nothing phones. Vivo claims the phone can survive 120 minutes underwater vs. 30 minutes on other phones — so durability is solid. However, it doesn’t feel super premium because the back and frame are plastic. Dropping it may leave minor dents, so a cover is recommended.

Display

vivo v60 display

Display-wise, I have no major complaints. It has a good AMOLED screen, bright enough for outdoors (up to ~1500 nits in auto mode). HDR10 works well for Netflix and YouTube, optical fingerprint sensor is fast, auto-brightness works well, and touch response is smooth.

Vivo improved vibration feedback, though it’s not as good as OPPO or OnePlus haptics. Overall, display is a solid A-minus.

Performance

vivo v60 ui

Performance is slightly weak for the price. It uses Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, which is an upgrade from the SD 7 Gen 3 in the Vivo V50, but it’s not the fastest in this price range. Base RAM is 12GB, so normal use is smooth, but it doesn’t feel as fast as the OnePlus Nord 5. For gaming, PUBG runs at 60fps, but heavier games like Genshin Impact only reach 30fps. Heating is not an issue, which is good.

Software

vivo v60 ui

Vivo’s software experience isn’t as smooth as OnePlus, Samsung, or Nothing phones, but it’s usable and improving. AI features are included, and the company promises 4 years of software updates. The UI/UX should get better over time.

Battery

Galaxy A17 5G charging

The phone has a 6500mAh battery with a low-powered processor, so battery life is excellent. Easily lasts 1.5 days. The 90W charger fully charges the phone in roughly 50 minutes.

Vivo V60 Review: Pros and Cons

Pros:

  • Excellent cameras
  • Long-lasting battery with fast charging
  • Bright AMOLED display
  • Durable design

Cons:

  • Weak ultra-wide camera
  • Audio lacks bass
  • Performance not top-tier
  • Plastic body feels cheap

Vivo V60 Review: Conclusion

Overall, considering all aspects and price, the Vivo V60 is hard to beat at 70,000 NPR. It’s better than the Honor 400, Samsung A56, and even OnePlus Nord 5. The specs are balanced, and its portraits and selfies outperform the competition.

Design is good, display is excellent, main camera optimized by Zeiss, and battery life is long-lasting. For Nepal, the Vivo V60 is probably the best choice.

Xiaomi’s HyperOS 3 is here with a lot of iOS inspirations

Just a few days ago, we found out that Xiaomi was gearing up to open the beta testing program for the next version of HyperOS. And now, Xiaomi has officially announced HyperOS 3, based on Android 16, is finally official. So in this article, I’ll be discussing everything you need to know about Xiaomi’s HyperOS 3. Including all devices that will be getting this update.

Xiaomi HyperOS 3 (Android 16) is here

The president of Xiaomi Group Partner and Mobile Phone Division, Mr. Lu Weibing, said that HyperOS 3 is now a new starting point of Xiaomi’s operating system development. This fresh phase focuses on making the system smoother, more responsive, and more intuitive for its users.

What is new in HyperOS 3?

Xiaomi says its latest take on Android has some significant optimization in terms of performance as well. Besides smoother animations across the system, HyperOS 3 reportedly reduces app load time by 21%.

Gamers can expect an even better experience here with 15% better 1% low fps and 9% lower power draw as well.

The new Super Island

Besides all those under-the-hood optimizations, HyperOS 3 brings a lot of iOS-inspired features too.

Super Island in Xiaomi HyperOS 3

Like Xiaomi’s take on Apple’s Dynamic Island, called “Super Island”, which offers contextual information about real-time app activities. But unlike iOS, Super Island remains active in the notification panel as well.

Xiaomi HyperOS 3 - MacBook and iPad Sync

Whereas HyperOS 3-powered smartphones will work a lot better with different Apple devices, too. You will be able to run your Xiaomi phone’s app directly on your iPad or MacBook, and even share images and sync notifications between your Xiaomi phone and an iPhone.

Other changes

Xiaomi has also introduced a notable visual refresh across the UI. Including redesigned app and status bar icons, and better notification organization. The company has also updated the “Dynamic Wallpaper” we first saw on HyperOS 2 (Android 15) to add more cinematic depth effects and better lockscreen customization.

The one new feature that caught my eye is HyperOS 3’s offline positioning, which should let you find supported devices when it’s offline or switched off.

Which devices will get the Xiaomi HyperOS 3 update?

And if you wanna get a taste of HyperOS 3 yourself, the good news is Xiaomi has already listed all the devices that will be eligible to enroll in its beta program from August 29. They are:

August 29

Huawei overtakes Apple as the world’s top smartwatch brand of Q2 2025

It has finally happened. Huawei has finally surpassed Apple in terms of global smartwatch shipments in Q2 2025. The Chinese brand has been catching up to Apple for years now, and for the first time ever, it’s the market leader.

The battle between Huawei and Apple in the global smartwatch market

According to the latest report by Counterpoint Research, Huawei had 21% market share versus Apple’s 17% in terms of global smartwatch shipments in Q2 2025. Xiaomi came in third with 9%, alongside another Chinese brand, “imoo” with 7%, and Samsung in the fifth spot with 6% market share.

And we can also see that while Huawei had an impressive 52% YoY (Year-over-Year) growth, Apple saw a 3% decline instead. Actually, all Chinese brands in the leaderboard see a healthy growth, while Apple and even Samsung had a rough quarter this year.

This should be pretty concerning for the two because the total smartwatch shipment volume itself had grown by 8% in Q2 2025.

The same Counterpoint research also mentions that this shift is largely driven by Huawei’s strong performance in China, where most of its sales come from. Whereas Huawei has been steadily growing its presence in other important markets like Europe, the Middle East, and all over Asia as well.

A long time coming

When you think about it, Huawei’s success has been in the works for quite some time now. That’s because, unlike how Apple only plays in the premium territory, Huawei has a range of wearables from the budget to the premium segment.

HP OmniBook 7 Aero Overview:

Design and Display

Starting with design, this new HP Omnibook 7 Aero has an impressively thin and light build. HP says this laptop weighs less than 1 kg (technically, 0.997 kg is less than 1 kg, so we’ll give this one a pass). It also has a pretty clean look and an aluminum build, further adding to the premium look and feel of the laptop.

HP OmniBook 7 Aero 13 - Design

Moving to the display, the OmniBook 7 Aero has a 13.3-inch IPS display with a WUXGA resolution (1920 x 1200) pixels. This display is also decent enough to get some work done outdoors since it has a respectable 400 nits of peak brightness. Alongside an anti-glare coating to reduce reflections.

The best part is that this screen even has 100% sRGB colors and DC dimming to minimize screen flickering when using it at low brightness levels.

Performance and Memory

As I mentioned earlier, the OmniBook 7 Aero uses AMD’s Ryzen AI processor. More specifically, the one available in Nepal has Ryzen AI 5 340, which has six “Zen 5” cores and 12 threads.

AMD Ryzen AI 300 series

The graphics are handled by the integrated Radeon 840M GPU, while it ships with 16GB of DDR5 RAM and 512GB SSD.

The HP OmniBook 7 Aero also features an NPU with up to 50 TOPS of performance for on-device AI workloads. On top of that, HP has included its own AI Companion tool as well, which works offline to help analyze documents and improve system performance.

Motorola launches Moto Buds Bass and Buds Loop with ANC and Bose tuning

We are seeing some exciting wireless products all around this summer, and following that, Motorola has also launched new TWs – the Moto Buds Bass and Moto Buds Loop. You’re getting 50dB ANC on the Bass model and Bose-tuned open earphones with the Loop. This article will discuss everything about the latest Motorola Moto Buds, including their price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.

Motorola Moto Buds Overview

Moto Buds Bass 

moto buds bass design

The Moto Buds Bass are clearly targeting the budget segment with a focus on “thumping bass.” You’re getting 12.4mm dynamic drivers with custom EQ tuning that should deliver some serious low-end punch.

What caught my attention was the dynamic active noise cancellation that goes up to 50dB. For the price, that’s pretty impressive ANC performance in this price range. Most budget earbuds either skip ANC entirely or offer weak implementation. The earbuds also come with Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity and are available in three Pantone-developed colors: Posy Green, Dark Shadow, and Blue Jewel. The Pantone partnership suggests Motorola is taking the design aspect seriously.

Moto Buds Loop 

The Moto Buds Loop take a completely different approach with their open earphone design. These are Bose-tuned, which should mean solid audio engineering from a company that knows sound. You can get them in Pantone French Oak, Ice Melt (decorated with Swarovski crystals), or Trekking Green. That Swarovski crystal option sounds pretty fancy for earbuds, though it probably bumps up the price significantly. And the price it comes, they’re positioned as premium open earphones that let you hear ambient sound while listening to music.

Different Launch Dates

One thing that’s rather amusing is that Motorola is launching these on different dates. The Loop arrives on September 1, while the Bass model comes on September 8. Not sure why they’re spacing them out, but maybe they want each model to get its own spotlight.

Motorola Moto Buds Bass and Loop Specifications

Feature Moto Buds Bass Moto Buds Loop
Type Closed in-ear TWS Open earphone design
Audio Tuning Custom EQ for dynamic drivers Bose-tuned
Drivers 12.4mm dynamic drivers Not specified
ANC Dynamic ANC up to 50dB Not mentioned
Connectivity Bluetooth 5.3 Not specified
Colors Posy Green, Dark Shadow, Blue Jewel Pantone French Oak, Ice Melt (Swarovski), Trekking Green

Motorola Moto Buds Bass and Loop Price in Nepal and Availability

The Moto Buds Bass is priced at INR 1,999 while the Buds Loop is priced at INR 7,999 in India. When they make it to Nepal, the Bass would start at no less than NPR 3,500 and the Loop at NPR 14,000.

Samsung Galaxy A17 launched in Nepal with OIS camera and 6 years of updates

Samsung just dropped the Galaxy A17 in Nepal, and it’s packing some surprisingly premium upgrades over the Galaxy A16. So, let’s dive into this article, where I will discuss everything about the latest Samsung Galaxy A17, including its official price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.

Samsung Galaxy A17 Overview

Display and Design

You’re getting a solid 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution and 90Hz refresh rate. The screen can hit up to 800 nits of brightness, which is unfortunately the same as its predecessor.

Samsung Galaxy a17 5g

And here’s the kicker – Samsung slapped Gorilla Glass Victus on this thing, which is the same protection you’d find on their flagship phones. The front camera still sits in a waterdrop notch, which, to be honest, is a real bummer. But color-wise, you can pick from Black, Blue, or Gray.

Cameras

The main attraction here is the 50MP main camera with OIS. The A16 didn’t have stabilization, so Samsung’s clearly stepping up its game here. You’re also getting a 5MP ultrawide and a 2MP macro lens, though let’s be real, those are just there to bump up the camera count. The 13MP front camera should handle your selfies and video calls just fine.

Performance and Software

At its core is Samsung’s Exynos 1330 chipset. It’s the same chipset that featured in the European variant of the Galaxy A16. Meanwhile, you can choose between 4GB RAM with 128GB storage or bump up to 8GB RAM with 256GB storage. Plus, there’s microSD support if you need more space.

Software-wise, you’re getting One UI 7 based on Android 15. Samsung is also promising 6 major OS updates and 6 years of security patches.

Battery and Build Quality

Samsung packed a 5,000mAh battery inside, which should easily get you through a full day. Charging tops out at 25W, which is also kind of weak, if you just look around at what you get in budget phones these days. The phone has an IP54 rating for basic water and dust protection.

Samsung Galaxy A17 Specifications:

  • Display: 6.7-inch Super AMOLED, FHD+, 90Hz, 1,100 nits, Gorilla Glass Victus
  • Processor: Samsung Exynos 1330
  • RAM: 4GB / 8GB
  • Storage: 128GB / 256GB (expandable via microSD)
  • Rear Camera: 50MP (OIS) + 5MP ultrawide + 2MP macro
  • Front Camera: 13MP
  • Battery: 5,000mAh, 25W charging
  • OS: One UI 7 (Android 15)
  • Protection: IP54 rating
  • Colors: Black, Blue, Gray

Samsung Galaxy A07 with a 5,000 mAh battery launched in Nepal

Alongside the Galaxy A17 5G, Samsung’s new budget phone—the Galaxy A07—has just launched in Nepal. This latest entry in the “A0” series lineup has impressive features and specifications for its price. So let’s find out the features and specifications, along with the official price in Nepal of the Samsung Galaxy A07.

Samsung Galaxy A07 Overview

Design and display

Samsung has provided three color options for the user to choose from here: Green, Light Violet, and Black. The A07’s design looks clean and similar to its predecessor, the Galaxy A06, although Samsung has now used Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) for the back panel this time.

This budget phone is also pretty handy, measuring just 7.6 mm and weighing about 184 grams. It’s IP54 dust and splash-resistant as well.

Samsung Galaxy A07 design

Up front, the Galaxy A07 boasts a 6.7-inch HD+ LCD display with up to a 90 Hz refresh rate. But unlike most budget phones these days, Samsung is still sticking with the age-old teardrop notch.

Performance and Software

Under the hood, we are getting the MediaTek Helio G99 chip here. This 4G processor has been paired with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage in the base model. While its memory-maxed variant has double the RAM and 4x the storage. We also know that it ships with Android 15-based One UI 7, whereas Samsung also promises 6 years of software and security updates for this phone.

Dell Inspiron 14 5440 Price in Nepal [Updated]

There are many configurations for Dell’s latest offering in Nepal. In a similar 14” form factor, you can get the Inspiron 14 5445 with an AMD processor, the 5440 with efficient Intel chips,  or perhaps the Inspiron 7440 with a 2-in-1 body. Regardless, in this article, let’s take a look at the features and specifications of the Dell Inspiron 14 2024 (5440, 5445, and 7440), its price in Nepal, and availability information. 

Dell Inspiron 14 (2024) Overview

Design and Display

Starting things off with the looks, the new Inspiron laptops are a good middle ground between feeling premium and not being as expensive as say the XPS machines. They feature aluminum casing, and metallic build, and are only available in the ‘Ice Blue’ color option as of right now. The regular Inspiron 14s are relatively light at 1.5 kg but the 2-in-1 variant is a tad heavier at around 1700 grams.

Moving on to the display, the regular models (5440 and 5445) feature 14” Full HD+ screens running at 60Hz with up to 250 nits of brightness. On the other hand, the 7440 models have Touch displays with stylus input support. There are higher res 2.2k display options but those haven’t made their way to Nepal yet.

You can get the latest Dell Inspiron 14 (2024) with a range of processors. On the AMD side, there’s the Ryzen 8000 series Hawk Point offerings while you can get Intel Core Series 1 equipped ones as well.

As for the memory, you are getting 16GB of DDR5 RAM alongside either a 512GB or a 1TB NVME Gen 4 SSD. You can replace the SSD with a higher capacity one (single M.2 slot) or slot in a new RAM stick (2 SO-DIMM slots) as per your needs. 

Ports and Battery

Talking of connectivity options, you get a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, two USB 3 Type-A ports, an HDMI, and a 3.5mm audio jack.

There’s a modest 54 Wh Lithium cell on the Dell Inspiron 14 2024 which promises 9-10.5 hours of use. For charging, the Inspiron gets a 65W adapter but while the 7440 charges via the Type-C port, there’s a dedicated AC barrel on other models.

Vivo V60 with a 3x telephoto camera is up for pre-order in Nepal

0

Vivo just dropped the V60 in Nepal, and they’re clearly going after the premium mid-range crowd. You’re getting a semi-flagship-level camera specs, a massive battery, and that signature Vivo design language. This article will discuss everything about the latest Vivo V60, including its official price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.

Vivo V60 Overview

Display and design

Starting with the display, the Vivo V60 packs a 6.77-inch AMOLED display. We’re talking 1.5K resolution with 120Hz refresh rate and some seriously bright peak brightness at 1,500 nits. Or even 5,000 nits for HDR content.

Its build quality looks solid too. The V60 has IP68/69 dust/water resistance and Schott Xensation protection instead of the usual Gorilla Glass for the display. At 7.5mm thick and around 201 gm, depending on the color option, Vivo’s latest midrange phone is reasonably slim as well.

Performance and software

At its core is the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, which is Qualcomm’s latest mid-range chip built on a 4nm process. Performance should be decent for most tasks, but this processor admittedly doesn’t have a massive performance gain over the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 on the Vivo V50 (review).

Memory options go from 8GB+128GB all the way up to 16GB+512GB, which is pretty generous. And I know its UFS 2.2 storage isn’t the fastest around, but it shouldn’t be a dealbreaker in any way.

As for the software, the Vivo V60 boots on Android 15-based Funtouch OS 15 out of the box, with 4 OS upgrades and 6 years of security updates to its name.

Camera system

Vivo has once again partnered with Zeiss for its “V” series of midrange phones. This one has a triple camera setup, which includes a 50MP IMX766 main sensor with OIS, a 50MP IMX882 periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, and an 8MP ultrawide shooter.

And while I absolutely love the telephoto upgrade, the downgrade from a 50MP ultrawide sensor on its predecessor definitely stings. Whereas the Vivo V60 has a 50MP front camera as always, with autofocus support for sharp selfies.

Battery and charging

The V60’s 6,500 mAh battery is even more impressive when you realize just how thin this phone is. This was only possible with a high-density silicon-carbon battery, of course, which we’re seeing on a lot of Chinese phones these days. It also fills up quickly with 90W FlashCharge, while the Vivo V60 supports bypass charging too.

  • Design and build: 163.53 x 76.96 x 7.53 – 7.75 mm, 192 – 201 gm
