The vivo v60e arrives with a mission: to turn everyday portraits into something you would be proud to print and frame. It does so by combining vivo’s first 200 MP main camera with carefully tuned portrait tools, creative festive filters and then wraps it all in a slim, premium design finished in stand-out colours. Think of it as a phone that treats people pictures like a serious creative pursuit, while staying practical for daily use.
SurveyPro-grade imaging with vivo’s first 200 MP AI-assisted camera
At the heart of the v60e sits a 200 MP ultra-clear main camera that captures immense detail across faces, fabrics, and fine textures. The larger photosensitive area helps the sensor draw in more light, so eyes look luminous and skin tones retain nuance even in tricky scenes. You can crop aggressively for tighter compositions, reframe a candid into a close-up, or pull a crisp portrait out of a wider group shot, and the file still holds together. It is the sort of latitude you expect from a larger camera, and it is the foundation that makes the V60e’s portrait modes shine.
Night portraits benefit as well. AI-assisted lighting, including the ring-style Aura Light Portrait 2.0, adds a gentle, adjustable fill that keeps colours accurate and prevents harsh shadows. The result is portrait lighting that feels considered, not gimmicky, with a natural roll-off that flatters the subject. On the video side, 4K capture on both front and rear cameras supports sharper storytelling when you prefer motion over stills.
Vivo’s portrait toolkit adds tasteful, custom looks in a single tap. It applies professionally crafted LUTs such as Prosecco, Neo Retro and Pastel, so album-ready images come straight out of the camera without fiddly edits, ideal for pre-wedding shoots and reception candids alike. Then for every season of the year, there are filters which shift the mood of a scene to Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter, blending seasonal colours and subtle environmental cues while keeping skin tones natural and faces true to life.
It is a quick way to match the vibe of a portrait to the story you are telling, from sunlit holiday snapshots to cosy festive gatherings. And the v60e also features India’s first AI festival portrait filter which leans into celebration, adding delicate floral motifs and warm, festival-style illumination that feels part of the scene rather than pasted on, which helps everyday portraits carry a sense of occasion without manual layering or third-party apps.
Together, these AI styles form a coherent creative layer on top of the camera’s core image quality, giving users quick, culturally tuned aesthetics for weddings, seasonal themes and festivals, while leaving plenty of room to personalise the final look with further edits if needed.
85 mm close-up portrait: studio-style intimacy, no shuffle required
The new 85 mm Close-Up Portrait mode is purpose-built for faces. It renders perspective in a way photographers love for head-and-shoulders shots: flattering compression, clean separation from the background, and a focus plane that draws attention to the eyes. Because it is a simulated telephoto combined with AI-tuning working from your current position, you do not need to step in awkwardly to fill the frame. That makes it ideal for capturing unguarded expressions, from a quick glance to a barely-there smile, without intruding on the moment.
Bokeh is tastefully handled, with subject edges staying neat around hair and glasses thanks to the added AI magic. Micro-contrast and fine detail in pupils, eyelashes, and skin texture are preserved, which gives portraits a dimensional quality that feels closer to studio work than a typical phone snap. If you care about people photography, this single mode may become your default.
Multifocal portrait: four classic focal lengths for flexible storytelling
Great portraiture benefits from variety, and the v60e’s Multifocal Portrait suite gives you four familiar looks in one tap: 23 mm, 35 mm, 50 mm and 85 mm. Each setting changes the mood as much as the framing. At 23 mm, you can anchor a subject in their environment for context or group shots with character. Shift to 35 mm for street-style half-body portraits that feel candid and cinematic. Move to 50 mm for the natural perspective that many photographers treat as their everyday lens. Finish at 85 mm for the polished, close-up intimacy that spotlights expression and detail.
Because these focal options sit on top of a high-resolution base file, you have room to refine the crop later without the image falling apart. Add vivo’s AI tools to the mix and you get a straightforward retouching workflow: erase distractions, expand the canvas for a more generous composition, reduce reflections, or revive older images with AI Enhance. Seasonal and festive filters, including India’s first AI Festival Portrait and a dedicated Wedding Style Studio with tasteful LUTs and frames, can push your portraits toward a specific aesthetic without heavy manual editing.
Selfies and groups are looked after by a 50 MP Eye AF Group Selfie camera that keeps multiple faces tack-sharp. For creators who switch between front and rear frequently, that consistency reduces retakes and keeps your feed looking cohesive.
Slim, curved, and colours that stand out
The v60e’s design complements its camera ambitions. The slim quad-curved display flows into ultra-narrow bezels for a comfortable in-hand feel and an edge-to-edge look at a 120 Hz refresh rate. Brightness headroom is generous, so previews remain visible outdoors, and animations stay smooth even when the system steps down to 60 Hz, courtesy of motion compensation.
Around the back, a minimalist camera module occupies less than a tenth of the panel and uses a smoked black finish for a restrained, premium touch. The colour story is equally thoughtful. At launch, we will get to see the Elite Purple colourway which is vivid and confident without tipping into gaudy.
Practicalities are covered too. The chassis carries IP68 and IP69 ratings for water and dust resistance, which is rare at this level. That means better resilience to rain, splashes and dusty festival days, and it supports useful additions such as wet-hand touch and a one-tap water-ejection routine after exposure. Inside, you get a large-capacity battery with fast charging and a cooling system tuned to keep performance steady during longer sessions of shooting, editing and sharing. Day to day, Funtouch OS 15 adds quality-of-life touches like call screening, hidden photo vaults and Gemini-powered assistance.
For the shutterbugs
The vivo v60e is, first and foremost, a portrait tool. The 200 MP main camera sets a high technical baseline, the 85 mm Close-Up Portrait mode gives you studio-style intimacy without disrupting the moment, and Multifocal Portrait serves up four classic perspectives that encourage creative variety. Wrap that in a slim, premium body available in Noble Gold or Elite Purple, and you have a phone that treats people photography with the attention it deserves, while still looking the part in your hand or on the table. Keep an eye out for the vivo V60e as it will be launching on the 7th of October.
