Vivo S30 5G vs Vivo V60 5G: If you are thinking of getting a new powerful 5G smartphone, then Vivo’s two upcoming stars – Vivo S30 5G and Vivo V60 5G – must be roaming in your mind. Vivo S30 has already entered the market, while V60 is still on the way to launch, but there is a lot of discussion about it. Both the phones come in the mid-range segment, but seeing their features and features, you will feel that they are no less than a flagship.
Let’s now do an easy and friendly comparison of both the phones so that you do not have any confusion in taking the right decision.
Design & Style
Vivo has always been adept at giving a premium look to its smartphones and the same thing fits both Vivo S30 and Vivo V60. The design of Vivo S30 has been made sleek and classy, which gives a high-end feel as soon as you hold it in hand. Its glass-like finish on the back panel and thin body make it quite stylish. At the same time, in the leaks coming about Vivo V60, its body and looks are looking a bit more polished and rugged. It is believed that its IP68 or IP69 rated body design can completely protect it from dust and water – that is, it can be a good option even for those who use a little rough.
Display & Visuals
Now if you are a fan of movies, gaming and videos, then display is the most important thing for you. Vivo S30 has a 6.67 inch 1.5K AMOLED display which comes with 120Hz refresh rate and its peak brightness goes up to 5000 nits. Meaning whether it is sunlight or night, the screen will always look bright and clear.
On the other hand, the screen of Vivo V60 is going to be slightly larger – about 6.82 inches, and talking about the refresh rate, it is expected to get up to 144Hz, which will make scrolling and gaming even smoother. Some reports are also talking about 6000 nits brightness. If this happens, then V60 can become the real boss in terms of display.
Performance & Processor
Now let’s talk about the real soul of the phone i.e. the processor. Vivo S30 has Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 processor, which is built on 4nm technology. This processor easily handles everyday tasks, gaming and multitasking and also gives good backup to the battery. That is, for those who want good performance right now, it is a very reliable option.
On the other hand, in the discussion about Vivo V60, Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor is being talked about – which is a flagship level chipset. Some reports are also talking about the use of Dimensity 9300+ processor, but if Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 comes, then this phone will become a very strong performer. That is, V60 can prove to be a game changer for gaming lovers and power users.
Camera Setup
Vivo S30 gives the most value in terms of camera. It has a 50MP Sony sensor main camera which comes with OIS. Apart from this, there is a 50MP periscope telephoto camera that supports 3x optical zoom, and an 8MP ultrawide camera is also provided. There is also a 50MP autofocus selfie camera in the front that does 4K video recording – that is, whether front or back, you will get a perfect shot from every angle.
The camera details of Vivo V60 are not fully confirmed yet, but according to leaks, it can get a dual 50MP setup – which will have one main and one ultrawide camera. Some rumors are also doing the 400MP sensor, but that seems to be more hype and it seems difficult to happen in reality. There will also be a 50MP camera in the front which will have the facility of 4K recording.
Features & Tech
The Vivo S30 comes with OriginOS 5 (or Funtouch OS) based on Android 15 and its interface is quite smooth and customizable. It has the option of 12GB of RAM and 256GB or 512GB of storage, but there is no option to insert a memory card. The IP64 rating protects it from water and dust to some extent, but it is slightly less than the V60.
The Vivo V60 is going to launch with Android 16, in which Funtouch OS 16 will be seen. Also, the rating of IP68 or IP69 takes its strength even further. Both the phones have stereo speakers but the lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack can be a bit painful.
Battery & Charging
The battery of Vivo S30 is one of the biggest features. It has a big 6500mAh battery which supports 90W fast charging. That is, charged once and then rest for hours.
The battery of Vivo V60 is also expected to be between 6000 to 6500mAh but it can be a step ahead in charging speed. It can be given 100W or maybe 120W fast charging – so that the battery can be full in a few minutes.
Price & Variants
The price of Vivo S30 currently starts from ₹ 31,990 and goes up to ₹ 39,000 according to the variant. This phone is currently available in China and global launch is also expected soon.
On the other hand, the price of Vivo V60 can go up to ₹ 44,990. But since it has not been launched yet, the price and variants can also change. But it is certain that the V60 will be a bit expensive as it is expected to come with flagship level features.
Final Verdict
If you want to buy a powerful, premium and all-rounder phone right now and your budget is under ₹ 35,000, then Vivo S30 5G is a great option. This phone performs well in all three segments – its battery, display and camera.
But if you can wait a bit and want a phone with a flagship level processor, super smooth display, and superfast charging – then it would be wise to wait for Vivo V60 5G. Yes, you will have to spend a little more for this.
In the end it comes down to – do you want the phone right now or can you wait. Both the phones are best in their place according to your need and budget.
