Vivo’s V60e arrives in India today (Oct. 7). The company has been teasing a 200MP portrait camera, a 6,500mAh battery with 90W charging, and IP68/69 durability. Official pricing isn’t out yet. Media reports suggest a sub-₹35k starting price, but you should wait for the final number.
The V-series is Vivo’s mass-market line. If the V60e lands under ₹35,000 with its camera, battery, and rating mix, it could pressure Samsung’s A-series and OnePlus Nord models. Buyers get durability and bigger battery headroom than most phones in this bracket. Price will decide its lane.

Price and variants: what to expect
Multiple outlets peg the expected base price in the ₹28,749–₹35,000 band for 8GB/128GB, with higher storage/RAM skews climbing into the low ₹30Ks. These are pre-launch estimates, not MSRP. Watch for launch-day offers that can change the effective price.
Why the spread? Retail blogs often cite internal memos or scraped listings; media houses may use early partner assets. Final prices can shift with bank offers and offline channel margins. Treat anything before vivo’s MSRP as a placeholder.
Processor and performance
Most reports tip MediaTek Dimensity 7300 with up to 12GB RAM. If accurate, expect mid-range CPU/GPU performance with better efficiency than older 6-series Snapdragon parts. This is still unconfirmed and will be updated at launch.
Camera, charging, durability: what stands out
The headline is the 200MP sensor with OIS and Vivo’s portrait stack. The 50MP selfie camera with Eye AF is rare in this band. The 6,500mAh pack plus 90W charging is also above average for this tier. Finally, IP68/69 is a strong durability story for dust/water and high-pressure spray scenarios.
Is V60e waterproof?
The phone carries IP68 and IP69 ratings. IP68 covers dust-tight sealing and immersion in fresh water under lab conditions. IP69 adds resistance to high-pressure, high-temperature water jets. These ratings don’t cover salt water or long-term exposure. Accidental liquid damage policies vary check the fine print.
