Vivo V60 5G Launches in Kenya: Official Price and Specifications

After weeks of teasers and pre-orders, the Vivo V60 5G is now officially available in Kenya. Vivo Kenya confirmed the launch on its social media pages, highlighting the phone’s ZEISS-powered cameras and unique Telephoto Wedding Portrait mode aimed at users who want professional-grade photography in their pocket.

Unlike its predecessor the Vivo V50 5G, the new device comes in two configurations:

• 12GB + 256GB at KES 63,999
• 12GB + 512GB at KES 69,999

Interestingly, these are the same price points as the Vivo V50 5G from last year, when the 512GB model was pegged at KES 69,999. In today’s market, where smartphone prices in Kenya have nearly tripled since 2019, that stability in pricing feels like a small win for consumers.

Design and Build

The V60 5G comes in Desert Gold and Mist Gray, each with a premium curved design that Vivo calls an “Equal-Depth Quad Curved Screen.” Despite packing a monster 6500mAh battery, the phone remains surprisingly slim at just 7.5mm and weighs under 200g depending on the color finish.

On durability, Vivo went all out. The V60 carries both IP68 and IP69 ratings, meaning it can survive two hours underwater and withstand high-pressure water jets. Vivo even included a One-Tap Water Ejection feature for when liquid sneaks into the speakers.

Display, Performance, and Cameras

Front and center is a 6.77-inch AMOLED display with HDR10+ support, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a staggering 5,000 nits of local peak brightness. Whether you’re under Nairobi’s midday sun or indoors at night, the V60 promises clear and eye-friendly visuals.

Under the hood, the phone runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, paired with 12GB RAM and either 256GB or 512GB of storage. Vivo has also enabled up to 12GB of virtual RAM, meaning smoother multitasking across dozens of apps. To keep things cool, Vivo fitted an ultra-large vapour chamber cooling system, ensuring consistent performance during heavy gaming or 4K video recording.

Photography is clearly the V60’s biggest selling point. Vivo continues its partnership with ZEISS, and the result is a seriously stacked camera setup:

• 50MP main camera with OIS (Sony IMX766 sensor)
• 50MP super telephoto camera with OIS and periscope structure (Sony IMX882 sensor)
• 8MP ultra-wide camera
• 50MP front-facing ZEISS group selfie camera

Vivo isn’t just throwing megapixels around. The company is pushing dedicated modes like Telephoto Wedding Portrait, Wedding Micro Movie, AI Aura Light Portrait, and even 100x zoom with AI-powered detail recovery. The camera app is also loaded with scene modes for astrophotography, food, underwater shots, and pro-level manual tweaks.

Software, Battery & Charging

The Vivo V60 runs FuntouchOS 15 based on Android 15 out of the box. While there’s growing buzz about OriginOS finally going global, the V60 launch confirms that for now, Vivo is sticking with Funtouch.

The V60 packs a 6500mAh BlueVolt battery, which Vivo says is designed to last over four years of daily use. Paired with 90W FlashCharge via USB-C, you can get hours of usage from just a 10-minute top-up. Vivo claims the phone can handle:

• 10 hours of PUBG gaming
• 15 hours of TikTok
• 22 hours of YouTube

Vivo V60 5G Price in Kenya

The Vivo V60 5G is now available at authorized retailers across Kenya, with pre-orders already fulfilled. Buyers who locked in early walked away with free Vivo Air 3 earbuds as a bonus. The base 12/256GB model goes for KES 63,999 while the high-end 512GB model is priced at KES 69,999.

Given the pricing stability compared to its predecessor and the sheer spec sheet Vivo is offering, the V60 5G is likely to appeal to users looking for a flagship-grade device without pushing into the KES 100,000 territory that some rivals now occupy.

The Vivo V60 5G strikes a balance between luxury design, hardcore performance, and creative camera features, all while keeping its price steady in a market that’s seen runaway hikes. If you’re in Kenya and need a phone that handles weddings, stage shows, TikToks, and your everyday hustle without breaking a sweat or your bank for that matter, the V60 is worth a serious look.
