Vivo X60 Pro+ (Emperor Blue, 12GB RAM, 256GB Storage) with No-Cost EMI/Additional Exchange Offers

 I am writing this review after 10 days of usage and will divide it in pros and cons as per my usage pattern.
So I have 12gb, 256 gigs, emperor blue version.
Usage pattern: As a primary phone, daily driver with two sims, wifi connected, with mostly using for social network, youtube videos ,and casual gaming.

Pros:-
1. The look and feel is gorgeous, the in hand feel is impressive, the back is vegan leather with matt finish and does not catch any finger prints.
2. The screen is gorgeous to look at, with vibrant colors and very good peak brightness, which makes it visible in extreme sunlight also. The screen is slightly curved with enhances the in hand feel
3. The box comes with a charger , a solid see through back case, wired ear phones, and an usb dongle and a sim ejector tool.
Its good to see so many things in the box when OEM’s are removing the bare minimums
4. Processer is latest snapdragon 888 SoC which makes it fly through all apps and daily tasking. No lag or stutter was observed in day to day tasks, even during heavy multi tasking. It also has 3 gb of virtual ram which kicks in when 12 gb inbuilt ram is fully in use, but never got to that much usage of ram.
5. Camera is absolute highlight and hands down the best camera system right now in this price bracket.
All the four rear cameras are of use and does not have any 2MP and 5MP gimmicks like most flagships have right now. The quad camera setup is brilliant to use and has tons of filters and modes for the photography enthusiast in us. There are so many features and modes that it will require its own review with samples. in a nutshell the primary camera is bokeh machine with very creamy and natural bokeh effect without the use of portrait also. The gimble stabilization takes the video experience to another level with super stability. The partnership with Zeiss seems to be legit and not just a marketing gimmick.
The front selfie shooter is 32MP ,again with crisp still photo taking ability and tons of selfie filter and beauty modes, sometimes it does go a little overboard with beautification but the same can be toned down as per needs and requirement.
6. Battery life is good, with SOT around 6 hours and easily gets through a day, with medium usage.
Charging is wired with 55Watts fast charging.
7. Software is fun touch OS based on android 11 out of the box, the software is not exactly stock one but very close to stock experience with tons of customization. It takes a little time to get used to all features and customizations but works as a breeze with really good battery optimizations.
8.Game play is fantastic( talking from a casual gaming pov ), phone has gaming modes which enhances the game play experience many fold.
9. The phone does get little warm during extensive usage but still manages to cool itself at a rapid rate, and performance does not get affected. The heating issue with snapdragon 888 is slightly visible here also but unlike other devices using SD888 , the optimization and handling is way better.

Cons:-
1. The screen is only 1080p and this price 1440 would have been a better choice.
2. The speaker is mono speaker set up with decent loudness, but at this price point duel speaker was expected. Speakers are strictly ok.
3. Fun touch OS has improved a lot but still comes with some bloatware and unwanted notification, although most of the apps can be uninstalled, and notifications can be stopped, it does take a few steps to get that done, but once we get it done the experience is pretty seamless.
4. There is no official IP rating and wireless charging which is a little bummer at this price point, although I do not need the feel of wireless charging but definitely IP rating would have been a good addition.

Final Verdict:-
Overall the phone is good balance of features and absolutely stunning looks, and superb camera system.
I would definitely give 4 out of 5 stars and if camera is the priority this will be hands down your go to pick under 70k.
All phones have some flaws and no phone is perfect but the overall package is great at this price point, and definitely one of the most good looking phone of 2021.

I’ll rate this phone a 8.5/10, everything about this amazing except the battery, it’s a major let down, apart from that it’s really good, it’s snappy and fast and it’s benchmark is comparable to that of ROG phone 5 and this phone takes photography to a whole new level, the night photos are amazing, there’s one weird thing that I noticed, my unit didn’t have the T* logo near the camera setup but still it does a great job of minimising light bloom, as it was advertised, also let’s not forget the gimbal stabilization, it’s fricking awesome! This phone doesn’t have a card slot which isn’t much of an issue because it’s comes with 256 gigs of UFS 3.1 storage which will be sufficient for most people, while typing this the battery percentage dropped by 1% lol
