During the last week of December 2020, Vivo unveiled its Vivo X60 and Vivo X60 Pro in China. These devices were intriguing devices with powerful cameras and Samsung’s Exynos 1080 chipsets. This particular chipset sits under Samsung’s flagship Exynos 2100. However, it is still based on the 5nm architecture and has Cortex-A78 cores. So far, these devices have remained exclusive to the Chinese market. However, we have started to see several certification listings suggesting the devices are entering global markets. Now we get another certification from Google Play Console and GeekBench Benchmark.
The Vivo X60 and X60 Pro listing reveals model numbers V2045 and V2046 respectively. Interestingly, the new global variants will be different from their Chinese counterparts. One of the biggest changes, to be sure, is the choice of a Snapdragon 870 chipset over the Exynos 1080. This reason is unclear, but if you are not a fan of the Exynos chips, then you will certainly appreciate the change. For those who don’t know, the Snapdragon 870 is a follow-up to the Snapdragon 865 series with increased performance and efficiency. It sits under the Snapdragon 888 but still delivers flagship-like performance. The remaining specs include 12GB of RAM, 2376 x 1080 resolution with 440 pixels per inch, and Android 11 with OriginOS running.
Vivo X60 Pro passed by GeekBench
The Vivo X60 Pro passed the Geekbench benchmark with 1034 points in single-core tests. In addition, he amassed 3,410 points in the multi-core department. Once again, the listing confirms 12 GB of RAM, Android 11, and specifies the motherboard as “kona”. This is the codename for the Snapdragon 865/865 + and the Snapdragon 870 chipset.
The Vivo X60 Pro recently acquired the required certifications such as EEC, Indonesia Telecom, and Indonesia’s TKDN. The handset has also gone through the Bureau of Indian Standards which basically confirms its arrival in India in the near future. Additionally, the vanilla model has also received global certifications, so the Pro won’t come alone.

It has a 6.56 inch AMOLED with FHD + resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. The Chinese variant is powered by Exynos 1080 SoC.

On the front side, there is a 32MP f / 2.45 selfie camera. The smartphone runs on Android 11 with a new OriginOS user interface out of the box. The X60 has a 4300mAh battery with 33W fast charging.
VIVO X60 PRO SPECIFICATIONS
It has almost identical specs to the Vivo X60 except for the cameras and battery. Vivo X60 Pro incorporates a quad camera setup with the same 48 MP main camera with 4-axis gimbal-type video image stabilization, 13MP ultra-wide camera with 120 degree angle, 13MP telephoto camera and 8MP periscope camera with 5x optical zoom and 60x superzoom.

Besides the different chipsets, we would expect most of the specs to remain the same.
