Why vivo V60 is still a 2026 must-buy smartphone

vivo V60-1
MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Upgrading your phone can be confusing when every new model promises something spectacular. What if last year’s phone still delivers what you really need?
The vivo V60, released in September 2025, is exactly that kind of phone. It blends strong performance, premium imaging, and practical AI tools in a way that still feels fresh in 2026.
Here are the top reasons why the vivo V60 continues to hold its own.
Better value in a market with rising phone costs
Smartphone prices have been creeping up in 2026. A big reason is the global memory chip price increase. These chips are essential for your phone’s speed and storage, and rising costs for them are affecting the price tags of new devices.
Because the vivo V60 was priced before these increases took full effect, it offers a more balanced cost-to-feature ratio than many newly released phones. In practical terms, that means you get strong performance and generous storage without paying as much as you might for a newer model.
For price-aware Filipino shoppers, this is a real advantage.
ZEISS-powered camera that still takes great photos
If taking good photos matters to you, the vivo V60 delivers. Its 50MP ZEISS Super Telephoto Camera zooms up to 100x, letting you capture detailed shots from far away without losing clarity.
What makes it even more exciting is the underwater photography feature. With IPx8 and IPx9 water resistance built in, you can take photos and videos in the pool. For many Filipinos who love summer trips, this is a feature you will actually use.
The fact that the camera system was developed with ZEISS, a respected name in optics, adds confidence that your photos will look great without extra editing.
Intuitive AI tools that fit how you work and create
Artificial intelligence is no longer a luxury. In 2026, it is part of everyday phone use. The vivo V60 includes a suite of AI-powered features that help both productivity and creativity. Here are some of its useful AI features:
For everyday productivity:
●   AI Smart Call Assistant, which can translate voice calls in real time
●   AI Captions, which can transcribe meetings, translate languages, and summarize key points with a single tap
For creative expression:
●   AI Four-Season Portrait, which adds seasonal effects to portraits
●   AI Erase 3.0, which removes glares and unwanted elements from photos
These tools help you do more with your phone without complicated apps or extra steps.
Even though it is not the newest model, the vivo V60 keeps delivering experiences that matter. It gives you solid performance, a capable camera system, and practical AI features – all at a price that feels fair in today’s market.
If you want a phone that feels dependable and fun to use, the vivo V60 is still a great choice. Starting at Php 28,999, grab the vivo V60 in vivo concept stores, kiosks, and online via the vivo e-store, Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop.
