Data & Context: The Vivo V60 5G in Historical Perspective
When Vivo rolled out the V50 5G last year, it clocked over 800,000 sales within the first 30 days in India—a testament to the country’s ongoing “camera phone revolution.” With the V60 5G, the brand is betting on bigger batteries, more AI camera wizardry, and standout color variants to continue that streak.

Context: India’s 5G Leap
As of July 2025, over 55% of smartphones sold in India support 5G—compared to just 12% in mid-2022. The V60’s emphasis on 5G bands, Wi-Fi 6, and even IR Blaster harks back to a time just three years ago when most midrange phones skipped on such features entirely.
For comparative market analytics, see Wikipedia: Smartphone Market Share, Reuters Technology, and GSMArena’s statistics.
Admittedly, watching these rapid technological leaps, one wonders: Will midrange smartphones soon close the gap entirely with flagship devices?
