Vivo X60 Pro Plus vs Pro | Unboxing, Camera Test, Gaming By Tech Spurt

So smartphone manufacturer of Eve has just launched two new smartphones fresh for 2021, the VIVO x60 pro and the x60 pro plus suddenly that pro plus model doesn't inject caffeine directly into your veins, because that would be really handy this week and, as you probably put together, given that VIVO has splashed the co-engineering with mass stuff all over the box. The big emphasis here is on some very clever camera tech, but while VIVO itself has most definitely trained its spotlight on the camera tech, here, that's not to say that the rest of the hardware is just as thrilling. So let's do a full unboxing of the VIVO x60 pro and pro plus side-by-side comparisons. You know which one might be best for you and for more on the latest greatest tech. Please do poke subscribe and hitting that notifications bell, cheers alright, so first up, let's see what you actually get stacked in these boxes. So of course you get the phone get your charging adapter got your type c, USB cable! You get a protective cover, although it's not really a condom case, because it is a proper hard shell.

You even get some headphones, bundled in here as well, which is a nice little extra, some quite snazzy, looking ones as well with a bit of rubber tip action. That's everything you get in the box and now, let's check out the VIVO x60 pro and the VIVO x60 pro plus, and certainly from the front. They look basically the same dimensions. Pro plus is a little heavier so until you flip them around and check out the Arlene that you notice some pretty big differences for one, the VIVO x60 pro. Has this really nice satin glass finish? It feels really soft to the touch kind of similar to what you get the likes of the Poco f3 and that glass, but a matte style textured finish as well, which is great news if you're going to be handling your phone after you know eating some chips or something like that you're doing those greasy prints all over that back end.

This here is the shimmer blue model, but if you prefer sort of darker moodier smartphones, you can grab it in midnight black, as well as for the pro plus, well that sports, the same fake leather finish as the Oppo fine x2 pro from last year. Suddenly, I'm not quite as enamored with the color here on the VIVO x60 pro plus it's an emperor blue finish, but it does mostly just look black until the light sort of strikes it, and then it's a very, very, very dark blue, basically so yeah, definitely not as fetching as that bright. Beautiful, bold orange finish on the fine x2 pro, but it still looks very smart indeed certainly looks more like an executive smartphone and once again, nice and resistant to scuffs and greasy marks and the like. But you might want to avoid getting the VIVO x60 pro plus moist, because I'm not sure how that fake leather backing will react to that and speaking of getting moist, there was no mention of an yip rate and any water resistance in the specs for the VIVO x60 pro or the pro plus. So you want to avoid taking them into a nice bubbly, bathroom, jacuzzi, okay, Vito, x60, pro and x64 plus are all set up ready for action and, as you can see now, they're all switched on side by side.

Bugger, all difference really from the front, both VIVO handsets sport, a 6.56 inch display which, as you can see, that just curves ever so subtly around the edge of the device. You've got your centrally positioned, selfie, shooter, so very similar to Samsung's recent handsets. That's not a massive surprise, because the panels are actually designed by Samsung. The software situation is basically the exact same on both these VIVO phones. You've got the latest freshest android 11, but you do have the fun touch launcher slated.

On top of that to add all kinds of bonus features and such forth definitely wins the award for the previous, sound and launcher of all time, and it's basically a stock android vibe through and through you've got the swipe navigation gestures. All that good stuff. I do, of course, have the Google discover feed you've got your apps' tray in there. Then. If you dive on into the settings menu you'll find all kinds of bonus, shenanigans stuck away in here so, for instance, you've got the likes of the dynamic effects.

This allows you to play around with basically all the animations that you get on here, including the fingerprint icon animation, I'm absolutely loving the retro uh 80s style vibe. With some of these I'm getting kind of an OCP vibe from this one. We dive right into shortcuts and accessibility loads of great stuff, including that one-handed more, which is very handy indeed, so to speak, as you can see, just a quick swipe in and out, and this will minimize everything down, making things much easier to use. One thing that does grind my gears with fun touch is the sheer amount of crapper that comes pre-installed on here when you're, actually setting up the VIVO x60 smartphones, you give them the option of installing extra bonus apps. If you want to or not- and I was thinking oh great- it's actually asking me if I want this like temple run to this frigging cat thing people still use these apps in 2021.

So, of course, I don't take the hell out of all that, but then that didn't stop the phones from installing a bunch of other random that I'm never ever going to use like booking. motherfucking. com. No, that can just go straight away. Thankfully, all these things can be quickly and easily uninstalled, but it is still embolic Facebook new a fair few of these.

I don't even know what they are uh IQ, I know. Actually this looks like the kind of thing I could get behind, like really cheesy weird Asian TV shows. Sometimes these are well worth a watch. This one looks particularly stunning celestial authority academy, where Ponzi men in far too much makeup, spend the entire time fighting each other in a ridiculously over-the-top way for the right to marry. Some poor lady who's probably got bugger all seeing it all, but yeah you can get rid of all of them, and the good news is that both the pro and the pro plus come with 256 gigs of pre-installed storage and is UFS 3.1, so nice and nippy for downloading fresh apps and opening big-ass apps like gentian impact. So back to that 6.56 inch, ultra or AMOLED display, as I said before, manufactured by Samsung in both cases perfect for your bit of major you've, got full HD plus resolution, which manages to keep images reasonably crisp. Despite the fact, you've got a fairly spacious panel here, nice poppy colors as well.

You can actually jump into the display settings on both of these and play around with the color output. If you want to make things a little more vivid and punchy uh, otherwise, dial it back down to a more professional level, and you've got full support for HDR 10 plus content streaming on the likes of Netflix as well. So as you can see, they're a good bit of HDR on the go on both the pro and the pro plus that really nice sharp contrast and natural looking colors. Those blacks really are nice and deep and like most premium smartphones in 2021, you've got a fast refresh rate on both these as well 120 hertz they max out at you, can actually keep them on the smart switch feature which will scale between 60 and 120 hertz, depending on what app you use and what you're actually up to. Otherwise, you can't just leave it at 120 hertz if you don't really care so much about saving that battery life and, as I alluded to earlier, you do have a fingerprint sensor built into both of these mighty displays, and it seems perfectly responsive and accurate on both of these panels.

So far as for the audio. Well, suddenly it is just a mono speaker setup on both the pro and the pro plus. So just that bottom firing speaker, the top earpiece does absolutely now. So, let's boost it up and just see what the volumes like, but then to be fair for the cost. So that's the pro now the pro plus plastic backing, which isn't 400 great gotta, say the pro plus is actually a tad louder than the standard pro.

Although once you get to that maximum volume on the plus, the clarity isn't, quite so great, sadly like a lot of more premium smartphones, these days, absolutely bugger all headphone jack action here on the VIVO x60 pro and the pro plus, which is a real shame uh. So it's type c dongles all the way. Otherwise, you do get Bluetooth, 5.1 support, but at least you've got support for high-res audio and all the usual good stuff. So you may have noticed that the VIVO x60 pro and the VIVO x60 pro plus, are very similar in a lot of regards so far. But when it comes to performance, that's where there's one of the first big specs differences, so the VIVO x60 pro is powered by the snapdragon 870 very powerful chipset just launched a couple of months ago.

It's essentially a re-jigged version of the 865 plus and meanwhile the VIVO x60 pro plus so many pluses it's starting to get a bit confusing. Now it's powered by the billy big bollocks, Qualcomm, snapdragon, 888 chipsets. So definitely a performance upgrade there's not a huge gap between these phones and, although by any means that snapdragon 870 is proper powerful still because it is an updated version of the 865 plus, which remember was powering the wrong phone 3 gaming smartphone just a few months back, and that gap is also kept quite narrow by the fact that both the VIVO x60 pro and the VIVO x60 pro plus are powered by 12 gigs of ram. That is some beefy specs right there. Of course, one of the best tests for performance is a given a gentian impact action, especially when you bump it up to the highest detail settings at the 60 fps level.

It is one serious challenge and yes, I did see a couple of little frame rate judders on the pro and the pro plus to be fair uh when things got really intensive. You know you're in a battle with like 10 15 other creatures, but it was just that just a minor judder uh certainly didn't impact the actual gameplay or anything and, as I say, very rare instances of that as well. You've got 240. Hertz touch response on both the pro and the poor, plus the certain everything is nice and smooth nice and sensitive so yeah. So if you're a gamer, then both of these will definitely do the job showing that it's not a perfectly flat display.

But here, oh you can't have everything you got yourself a good bit of 5g support on both the pro and the pro plus as well. So no issues with the connectivity. As for the battery tech, well, no difference between them. There, it's a 4, 200 William cell on both of them hopefully should last year the full day as long as you don't go too crazy with that gentian impact. However, while the pro has 33 watt wide charging support, the pro plus does actually upgrade that to 55 watts, so it is nippier once you plug it in, but there's no wireless charging support on either of these handsets anyway.

Let's move on to the big deal here on the VIVO x60 pro and pro plus, which is that camera tech and, of course, it's very fashionable for smartphone manufacturers to partner up these days with optics firms and VIVO definitely has not booked that trend cozying up with mass for the two new VIVO phones. There are shag loads of differences when it comes to the camera hardware on the pro and the pro plus. The first of those is the fact that the pro plus actually gets a bit of mass's t-star cotton for that glass covering and protecting the lenses. This just helps to reduce annoying little issues like lens flare, when you're shooting in a bright environment for its primary lens. The x60 pro has the 48 megapixel Sony, mix 598 sensors, quite a popular camera sensor in smartphones.

We do get Vito's gimbals stabilization 2.0, as well as optical image, stabilization, giving you full five axis stabilization now. This does an absolute bloody lofty, brilliant job of countering any kind of hand tremors whatsoever. So if your hands are on particularly still, or you've had a few drums of whiskey on a Saturday night, the VIVO x60 pro will help to give you clean, sharp, looking shots all the same as for the VIVO x60 pro plus. Well, this uses the fresh snazzy new 50 megapixel Samsung gn1 sensor with optical image, stabilization built in as well. I thought to test out the camera tech I'd, take some side-by-side shots with the x60 pro and the pro plus there's, not really a golfer difference between the two.

To be honest, they both produce nice crisp detailed photos, even in quite tricky contrast. I did find that the pro plus produced slightly punchier slightly bolder colors on occasion, but apart from that good results from both on the ultra-wide angle front, the pro has got a 13 megapixel, ultrawide angle, camera with anti-distortion correction and the pro plus boosts that to a 48 megapixel effort with gimbals stabilization 2.0, so that pro plus will make it much easier to shoot, gorgeous panoramic style scenes with that ultra-wide angle effect, because you've got that gimbals stabilization. You also have a dedicated portrait lens on both of these VIVO blowers. It's a 13 megapixel effort on the pro 32 megapixels on the pro plus. But again both of them did a bang up job with their good old veronica here and, while that's it for your camera lenses on the standard, VIVO x60 pro, the pro plus adds an eight megapixel periscope lens with five times optical zoom, for getting closer to your subject.

So, while the standard pro tops off at 20 times, digital zoom, where everything looks a bit CAC, the pro plus can go all the way up to a mighty 60 time. Zoom. That said, in my test, shots the VIVO periscope lens, definitely wasn't half as impressive as uh. Some rivals who found likes of Samsung phones, Huawei's smartphones, didn't seem to make a huge difference in clarity compared with just the standard pro with its digital zoom. As far as the actual camera UIs go as you can see, they are absolutely stuffed full of different modes and features.

Thankfully, quite a lot of it is automated, like the macro mode can be automated the HDR and all that good stuff, and by leaving the AI mode on that, actually does a perfect job of swapping to the different modes when you need them as well. The likes of portrait modes got a dedicated night mode on both of these blowers as well for capturing low light shots. You got that high resolution option on the pro plus 2. This could not only shoot 50 megapixel uh shots using the primary sensor, but you can also shoot a 100 megapixel shot by basically shooting lots of picks all in tandem and then combining them. The pro mode on both the x60 pro and the x60 pro plus dishes up a huge selection of manual controls, ISO level shut speed, a white balance order, focus to manual focus, and you can shoot in a raw format if you like, and if you thought that was it for borders, camera features.

Oh, no, the more section holds plenty more stuff, including the usual moon shenanigans and all of that there's also loads of different uh video options on both of these blows too. If you actually dive into the resolution as well as you can see, they're both set to full HD by default, you can jump up to 4k on the pro and all the way up to 8k level on the pro plus. The pro plus also supports HDR 10 plus video capture as well, and you've also got wide screen options. If you want to shoot more cinematic footage and last up, you can also spin around to that 32 megapixel selfie camera on both the pro and the pro plus. It's essentially the same shooter on both and once again you can capture mighty fine, looking selfies of yourself with uh night modes, smart portrait, smarts all that good stuff, and that my friends is how the VIVO x60 pro and the VIVO x60 pro plus stack up against one another.

So I think some very tasty tech in there indeed, but are you tempted by either of these blowers and which one would be great to hear uh your thoughts down below? As for me, I'm going to go dunk my head in a bucket of coffee because it's been a rather intense week. If you haven't already go check out my uh Poco coverage from Monday, the f3 and the x3 pro uh, the OnePlus 9 series went live on Tuesday, the realm 8 pro review going live yesterday and motor g100 action today as well. Whoop, hurrah so to make sure you don't miss out on any more hot new smartphone launches. Please do plug subscribe to doing that notifications bell and have yourselves a fantastic rest of the week. Cheers everyone loves you, foreign.
