The mid-range has become the true battlefield for mobile phone manufacturers: a territory where they wage their particular confrontation to conquer millions of users who are looking for that delicate balance between performance and price. According to the report Mid-Range Phone 2025-2033 from the consulting firm Archive Market Research, is a particularly dynamic segment marked by intense competition and continuous innovation.
The vivo V60 Lite 5G, terminal that I have tested during the last week, arrives with the promise of standing out without spending too much. And for this he proposes a pack which includes headphones True Wireless from the firm (the Buds Air3) and a charger; accessory that is no longer lavish among smartphones current. The one who comes provides a fast charging of 90W thus adding extra value to the set.
By the way, in the box I also found a black silicone case. The version I have analyzed It has 8 GB of RAM, 256 GB of storage and has a price of 299 euros. This same pack with the model with 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage it costs 359 euros.

The first impression of the vivo V60 Lite 5G mobile
When I took it out of the box at no time did I have the impression that it had been cut in quality compared to models that cost more. The rear part is covered by a synthetic resin sheet, a type of plastic that, among its advantages, absorbs impacts better. Luckily, I haven’t had to test its resistance in this regard.
It is a large mobile but it does not feel cumbersome and its 6.77 inch screen It takes advantage of almost the entire front. The other detail that caught my attention is its compact thickness and its weight of 194 grams, quite balanced for the battery it incorporates. Furthermore, it has IP65 certification, which certifies its resistance to dust and splashes. In my case, I like to go to the mountains whenever I can to disconnect, it gives me an extra point of tranquility.

Vivo V60 Lite 5G mobile: with ‘super battery’ included
I have used it as a substitute for my personal phone, which It has helped me put it to the test in my daily routine: to check my social networks, answer emails, make calls, respond to WhatsApps, participate in video calls, view some other multimedia content and take photographs.
If you are one of those who also uses your mobile to play, I advise you to activate the mode Ultra Game– Not only do you optimize performance during games, you block notifications and silence calls.
With this use its battery has lasted two days and part of the third —with around 10% charge remaining. And when I finally had to plug it in, the 90W fast charging proves that it is truly effective: In about 50 minutes it reaches 100%. On days when I had just enough time, about 25 minutes were enough to recover enough energy to last the rest of the day.

vivo V60 Lite 5G ‘Smartphone’: this is how it is on a daily basis
I liked how it maintains balance: The performance does not fall short, the screen – with very tight frames – provides a visual experience that does not disappoint at all and the sound, although more discreet, accompanies. I have not had fluidity problems when switching between tabs or opening applications and, unlike other terminals, it keeps the temperature under control so that it does not heat up easily.
The 6.77-inch AMOLED screen It offers good color reproduction, intense, but without oversaturation, ideal for watching series or movies; while, their 120 Hz refresh rate They make everything flow smoothly and naturally when you move between windows and menus. Outdoors, the brightness is sufficient, although I admit that if the sun was very strong I would have liked a little more intensity.
It comes with vivo’s latest layer of customization, Funtouch OS 15 on top of Android 15. Its design is simple and functional, And it is positive that it arrives without an excess of pre-installed applications, something that does happen on other phones: CapCut, Candy Crush, Netflix, Temu or Booking are some of the apps that come by default. Besides, AI is integrated in a practical way: From the power button you directly access Gemini, the Google assistant; To log in the first time you need to register with a Gmail account.
I have squeezed other artificial intelligence functions that I find useful for everyday life. This is the case of Google Circle to Search: just hold down the home button and draw a circle over any image or text for the system to search for related information in real time. I used it, for example, when I saw a jacket on Instagram that I liked: in a matter of seconds it showed me stores where I could buy it and similar clothes.
I have also tried the Notes app with AI, perfect for jotting down quick ideas, summarizing texts or translating from one language to another in seconds. The third function that I have taken advantage of the most is transcription with AI integrated into the recorder. I recorded an interview and, upon completion, the phone automatically converted the audio to text and summarized the main points.

vivo V60 Lite 5G: AI editing photography experience
The camera is no longer a simple accessory, but a key element when choosing a mobile phone. It’s not just about taking photos, it’s about creating and sharing content, and that’s where each manufacturer tries to make a difference. In good light conditions, its main camera takes advantage of everyday scenes without problems.
Additionally, it includes several editing tools, including AI Object Eraser, which works phenomenal: every time you use it it eliminates what is left over from the image without the retouching being barely noticeable.
But, without a doubt, one of the most important hallmarks of the photographic section of the vivo V60 Lite 5G is its Aura Light with AI, a rear luminous ring that improves portraits by providing greater clarity and natural tones.
