vivo Launches an All-Day Powerhouse, the vivo V60 Lite 5G

Hi Guys, 

vivo proudly announces the launch of the V60 Lite 5G, an all-day powerhouse offering ultra-long battery life, sharp photography, and robust durability. It’s designed to keep up with modern lifestyles where performance, creativity, and endurance matter most.

Power That Lasts All Day

At the heart of the V60 Lite lies a powerful 6500 mAh BlueVolt battery, engineered to deliver heavy all-day use in an ultra-slim 7.69mm design. It is the thinnest phone in its price segment to feature such a large battery, offering the largest combination of capacity and charging speed without sacrificing size. Users can enjoy hours of entertainment, browsing, and gaming without the constant worry of charging. And when it’s time to recharge, the 90W FlashCharge powers the device from 1% to 100% in under an hour.

Gamers benefit from Bypass Charging, enabled in Ultra Game Mode, which directs power straight to the system instead of the battery. This reduces heat generation, keeps performance smooth and stable, and extends overall battery health. With vivo’s assurance of five years of reliable battery performance, the V60 Lite upholds its benchmark for battery endurance.

Sharp Photos Day or Night

Photography is another area where the V60 Lite delivers exceptional value. Equipped with a 50 MP Sony IMX882 AF main camera and vivo’s AI Master Aura Light Portrait system, which matches the Aura Light Colour Temperature to the specific scene type to capture luminous, sharp, and natural-looking portraits in any setting. The Aura Light also expands the lighting area and softens illumination for true-to-life skin tones and professional-grade results.

Powered by AI Imaging 3.0, the V60 Lite brings creativity to users’ fingertips with AI Erase 3.0 (including reflection removal), AI Photo Enhance, and vivo’s Self-Developed Super Night Algorithm for crystal-clear low-light shots. Both front and rear cameras support 4K video recording, enhanced with Film Camera mode for trendy retro filters, making the V60 Lite a versatile companion for content creation.

Built for Everyday Durability

The V60 Lite is made to withstand the mishaps of everyday life and is backed by vivo’s 7-Star Quality Promise (when activated on or before 30 April 2026), which includes:

• MIL-STD-810H impact resistance (Military-Grade Damage Protection)
• SGS Drop Resistance Certification
• 5-Year Battery Health
• 50-Month Smooth Performance
• IP65 Dust and Water Resistance, which guards against splashes and dust
• Reinforced Protective TPU Case for reinforced protection
• 360° Accidental Protection, which covers one-time free repair of screen, back cover, camera glass cover, and frame within 365 days for activation, valued at R4000

This reflects vivo’s ethos of real-life durability, which backs users with practical, meaningful features that add real value to their everyday lives.

“Smartphones have become central to our daily lives, and at vivo, we believe they should deliver real value where it matters most,” said Tony Shi, General Manager at vivo South Africa. “From its 6500 mAh BlueVolt battery and Sony IMX882 camera to our unique 7-Star Quality Promise, it’s built as an all-day powerhouse that performs reliably in real life, not just on paper.”

Entertainment and Seamless Performance

The MediaTek Dimensity 7360-Turbo chipset ensures smooth performance across entertainment, gaming, and multitasking. Paired with up to 16 GB RAM (8 GB + 8 GB Extended RAM) and 256 GB ROM.

Connectivity is seamless with AI SuperLink, combining 5G with a 360° omnidirectional antenna, Wi-Fi boosting, and smart network switching for stable connections wherever users go.

Sleek Design with Confident Style

The V60 Lite continues vivo’s design legacy with an Exquisite Transparent Camera Module, crafted with a minimalist vertical lens layout that reduces clutter while delivering a refined, premium feel. Its Ultra-Thin Flat Screen design, measuring just 7.59 mm, makes it stylish, ergonomic, and perfect for long hours of use.

The device comes in Elegant Black, a timeless premium finish, and the hero colour Titanium Blue, inspired by Arctic glaciers. Its metallic texture and shimmering purity reflect elegance, poise, and calm confidence.

The vivo V60 Lite is more than just a smartphone; it is an all-day powerhouse. With ultra-long battery life, professional Sony imaging, military-grade durability, and seamless performance, it empowers users to stay connected, creative, and confident from morning to night.

The vivo V60 Lite is now available at a RSP of R12999 and comes with a free smartwatch[1], exclusively through Vodacom and Cell C stores and online.

New Year Resolutions - Week 40 Achievements & Failures #TheLifesWay

Hi Guys,

Week 40 - Sat 01 Oct 2022 - Fri 07 Oct 2022

October 2022 started with a great trip to Hermanus and it was a relaxing and energetic trip to the small city with all kinds of modern facilities as most European tourists make their way to the same. It is one of the cities where I just got to drive less than 50 kilometres to see tourist sites which made a difference really though I travelled far to Cape Agulhas which I missed in my Garden Route trip due to wrong directions and time not on our side as we had to reach Pearly Beach for overnight stay. 

1. Walking - I only did 9.83 kilometres during the course of this week. Thursday morning the road trip to Hermanus started as well. During the trip to Hermanus, I ate something like some Indian chips that were made from Jackfruit but in some kind of oil which really took my throat into a vial fever state. Despite drinking warm water or rather hot water later, I could not control it and had to go down the fever route. 

2. Thank You - From 24000 onwards it reach 35000 before the counter again turned to zero. This is going to be the last week of using the counter. Will restart the activity in a new form in the new year. I will definitely recommend you to do this task or fun activity as it will being a lot of good in your life in terms of whatever you desire. I have got many good gifts that I always wanted in my life due to this Thank You Arigato In Arigato Out technique by Ken Honda. 

3. Travel to Hermanus - Driving for around 1425 kilometres needs a lot of planning and resting stops need to be minimized as well. I loved the city of Hermanus when we saw it for an hour or so during our trip from Pearly Beach to Cape Town. That's when I planned to visit the same once again and this time I spent many nights in Hermanus. My Honda Civic 1.8 Elegance car reached there without any problems whatsoever. 

4. Contest Win - I won a contest from Incredible Connection for Jabra Earphones that I received when I was outstation. The same will be unboxed in some days on my YouTube channel. I am not able to find out what I wrote on the Facebook page but the day I wrote those words was early in the morning as I was sitting in my mom-dad room and it was a father's day contest. My parents were here in South Africa when I wrote this one and totally found out that this is one of the best words I can write on that day. Thanks!

5. Interviews - I did some interviews with the executives of Vivo Mobile South Africa which you can watch on my YouTube channel to learn more about the latest Vivo V25 series of smartphones. Vivo Smartphones have great cameras and check the executives if you want to visit Qatar 2022 World Cup courtesy of Vivo Mobile South Africa. 

Week 40 has been a great one for sure and I totally loved the road trip to Hermanus. Hermanus is a must-visit town or city as it gives the feeling of being in a European city but with the beautiful weather of South Africa. Most of the tourists that visit this town are European and the place is always booked. Also, whale watching is one of the best time pass activities you can enjoy and they also respond to you by coming very near the shore. Also, there is a 10-12 km long walk along the sea and I am sure by walking on the route you will see much more whales as compared to when you are on the ship inside the ocean to see it from a few meters away. 

Cheers!!!

Therefore, V25 5G has a 50MP front camera with eye autofocus capabilities, enabling users to take clear images and videos any time of the day or night. In addition, the front camera is equipped with AI HD Algorithm that optimizes sharpness.

Easy and fun video filming experience with style

The front camera of V25 5G has the Hybrid Image Stabilization (OIS+EIS) feature which makes video shooting clearer and more stable. Furthermore, the Natural Portrait video mode enhances overall skin texture and clarity.

V25 5G also comes with a new Vlog Movie feature that improves the filming experience with video templates and tutorials to guide users on how to shoot in different scenarios, such as night, food, city and more, as well as an upgraded Multi-Style Portrait feature in both front and rear cameras that provides fun filters, enhancing the video experience.

The Multi-Style Portrait feature also allows users to unleash their creativity with the Motion Blur effect, a new style which innovatively separates people from the background for a better portrait creation experience.

Spark creativity and fun through innovative, chameleon-like design

V25 5G has a thin 2.5D body that is 7.79mm. The lightweight and slim body make the device a comfortable fit in the hands of users.

To ensure the phones stand out, vivo incorporated vivid colours into its newest models. V25 5G is decked out in Aquamarine Blue and Diamond Black.

In addition, vivo designed the smartphones to spark creativity and fun in users with the revolutionary Color Changing Fluorite AG Glass, which enables the rear panel of the devices to display different colours at different angles when exposed to UV light. The Aquamarine Blue edition of V25 5G switches from ocean blue to bluish green.

“At vivo, we strive to spark creativity and joy around the world, while understanding the needs of smartphone users in different markets. The V25e comes with cutting-edge camera technologies, a colour-changing rear panel, and strong capabilities that deliver robust performance.

“This state-of-the-art smartphone offers must-have features at great value for money.”

Capture stunning night portraits with cutting-edge camera technologies

The 64MP HD main rear camera offers large 1.4μm pixels by combining four pixels into one, delivering excellent sensitivity and superb clarity. This cutting-edge technology offers brilliant light sensitivity to ensure that users can capture clearer images and 4K videos in impressive detail in different low-light conditions.

Coupled with the upgraded Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) capabilities, the camera intuitively minimizes blurry shots caused by shaking, making it easier for users to capture HD portraits, especially at night. The rear camera also features the Bokeh Flare Portrait algorithm which helps produce gorgeous portraits at night and provides different effects, turning background light sources into interesting shapes such as hearts, butterflies, and cherry blossoms, adding more fun elements to photos.

The 32MP portrait front camera with the upgraded Natural HD Portrait feature allows users to take high-quality selfies and has different face beautification options which intelligently enhance the overall texture, clarity, and naturalness of selfies.

Improved filming and vlogging experience

The rear cameras of the V25e use a Hybrid Image Stabilization technique that combines Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) capabilities to help produce clear videos even when the camera is shaking, allowing users to record videos with vivid details.

The V25e also has a new Vlog Movie feature that enhances the filming experience with video templates such as the V25 5G. To further improve the vlogging experience, the V25e comes with a new Dual-View Video feature that enables users to use the front and rear cameras simultaneously to record on an adjustable split screen.

Premium look with a sleek design and colour-changing rear panel

Similar to the V25 5G, the V25e comes in two colours, Sunrise Gold and Diamond Black while the V25e has a slim 7.79mm 2.5D body with a textured flat frame, and it only weighs 183g.

The sleek design gives it a premium look and feels, while the device is also easy for users to hold when texting, taking photos or gaming.

The V25e also features the revolutionary Color Changing Fluorite AG Glass on its rear panel, which enables the device to display different colours at different angles when exposed to UV light. The rear panel on the Sunrise Gold edition changes from gold to reddish-orange under UV light.
