More than the colour though, it’s the
build that Vivo has nailed. Despite the
generous 6.56in display the X60 Pro is
remarkably svelte and lightweight. It’s
either 7.6/7.7mm thick, and weighs just
177/179g (the blue model is, curiously, a
fraction thicker and heavier).
In either case, that makes this one of
the lightest and slimmest phones of the
year while still offering a large display,
and I only wish more manufacturers
would pay attention. The feel of the
phone is fantastic too, with comfortably
curved edges and a strangely appealing
softness to the frosted glass finish.
The X60 Pro also marks the return
of Vivo’s stepped camera module, an
attractive design touch that I’m a fan of.
It simultaneously draws attention to the
lens array while making it feel slimmerand more compact than it really is – a
clever piece of design.
Otherwise, the X60 Pro’s design is
fairly straightforward. The power and
volume buttons sit on the right rail, with
USB-C along the bottom.
There’s no headphone jack, and no IP
rating for waterproofing. The haptics also
feel a little cheap and rattle-y, but these
are ultimately fairly small complaints. The
X60 Pro looks and feels fantastic, even
surpassing the majority of flagship rivals.DISPLAY
As much as you may want to appreciate
how your phone looks, you’ll spend
more time staring at the display. Luckily,
Vivo has a solid offering here, though
admittedly not quite class-leading.
The 6.56in display is a curved
AMOLED, and supports
120Hz refresh rate, which
makes the whole phone
feel smoother in use,
supported by a 240Hz
touch sampling rate for
faster gaming. Colours
are deep and rich, and
contrast is impressive –
simply put, it looks great.
As you’d expect now,
the display also houses the
phone’s fingerprint sensor,
We reviewed the Shimmer Blue model. which works like a treat.
