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.

[1] Stocks are limited, and smartwatch specifications may vary.

New Year Resolutions - Week 24 Achievements & Failures in 2023 #TheLifesWay

Hi Guys,

Week 24 was the most awaited because the Adipurush movie was getting released and a holiday was also there on 16 June 2023. It was also my mom's birthday as well during this week. Also The Life's Way crossed 4 Million Pageviews on www.thelifesway.com which is a huge achievement considering it's my efforts to post on a consistent basis from the last 10.5 years without any help so it's just my passion that's making me move forward. 

1. Entertainment - I watched the Adipurush movie and didn't like the twists as the storyline is totally different from what we have seen in our childhood. If the story could have not been inspired by the legendary religious texts then they could have a superhero story like any of the Marvel comics movie. The only best part was the song Ram Siya Ram which I can listen to in a loop a hundred times. I also watched the new movie on Netflix Extraction 2 and the action sequences were awesome in the same. The storyline is not that great but the train action sequence took my breath away. 

I also watched Indiana Jones and Crystal Skull on the Disney Plus streaming platform in anticipation of the new Indiana Jones movie getting released soon called Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny that I still have to watch. I love the character and the fast storyline with a lot of mysterious adventure and thrilling climax buildup. 

2. Goodies - I received a surprise gift from Nokia as I got Nokia 105 feature phone that has the Snake game built into it. I also received the payment of R450 for the Humanz app for one of their Twitter campaigns. It's always a great time when you get paid for your social media influence whatever the cash is earned as cash is king. 

3. YouTube - I crossed 2100 subscribers on my YouTube Channel during this week. It's always great to keep moving forward towards your goals and soon we will reach the Silver play button. A strategy is needed to earn the same as we may have to work on trending topics as well. 

4. Thank You - I started from 45000 onwards to reach 69000 counts and then the same got reset. Again after restarting, I reached the 2000 count. 

5. Kainchi Dham Sthapna Diwas - 15th June is the Sthapna Diwas at the Neem Karoli Baba Ashram near Nainital and a lot of people go to the place to get blessed by the Lord Almighty. I also got interested in the same and saw a lot of live videos on YouTube from the lines of people who were capturing every aspect of the festival. This is the same place where Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg and many others went with their problems and got sorted to reach the heights they never saw before. I wish the same for myself too in the coming years. 

I thank each and every one of the readers of my blog that helped me reach 4 Million pageviews on the blog. I am really thankful to all the brandses during the course of the last 10.5 years and though I have taken out some 500-600 blog posts from my blog which were not evergreen and  now I have a focused content strategy to only promote those brands who helps me earn a lot of money or are available for trade exchanges. I don't want stuff that I won't use so cash is always a better way of collaborating. All the best to me! 

Aum Namah Shivay!

Till next time...Aashish
Thanks! Cheers!!!

5. Vivo V21 5G Specifications and First Look @Vivomobile_SA #DelightEveryMoment #vivoSA #V215G - Vivo V21 5G was an unexpected package that I received from Vivo Mobiles SA and totally loved this capable smartphone, Though this is not the X50 or X60 series which are the top of the class smartphone, this one also offered a lot of camera and software features not found in any other brands smartphones. 

6. @TelkomZA Reveals Its New Music Streaming App Powered by JOOX #TelkomMusic - The best goodies I received was the dream of getting a Thule Backpack and it was fulfilled by the Telkom team especially Tencent executive Nadim Nyker at that time who invited me to the event. Many thanks to Nadim and I am using the backpack as my daily driver to carry my office laptop. 

Overall, August-22 was a great month as well with a lot of launch events attended for Samsung, Huawei, Canon, Nikon and Instax. I also did watch a lot of movies and web series but did not find the time and effort to review them. 

Cheers!!!

#TheLifesWay #PhotoYatra

Thousands of photos on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook

Thanks to everyone who contributed and collaborated in the growth of The Life's Way! 

2020 has been an internal and external struggle between myself and the brands who were not providing me with any value in terms of any invites, review units or media or press drops or sponsored gadgets from time to time. Internal struggle in terms of heartbreaks I did of the executives working for the various PR companies who have been in constant touch with me for multiple years but didn't realize that I could say No. External struggle in terms of some of the brands taking my name off their lists of press releases and other invites whatsoever or anything happenings around their products. 

Meanwhile, I took out all the thousands of posts done for many brands in the mid of 2020 but then at the end of 2020, I thought that I have done all the hard work to put them on my blog so why take them down. It's bringing me some traffic and if the brand notices this then it will be a favour from my end to them considering my heart is bigger than them. Thought this kind of emotional atyachaar is not valued in the business world but I am an emotional fool. 

The biggest moment of my life was getting to meet Technical Guruji at Delhi Airport in Jan 2020

Let's start on the achievements and gratefulness for the gadgets and products received during 2020 even when it was lockdown for most of the part in Johannesburg, South Africa. Sometimes in life, you just have to ask the universe or the person in charge of something you desire and wants to have in your life. My first such experience came through when I asked the Huawei PR company for FreeBuds 3 and out of the blue they told me that we can give you one to blog about and keep also. I just picked up the same before the lockdown started in Johannesburg from their office. Many thanks and the same has been my partner in crime since the whole year or so. 

Huawei FreeBuds3 in Red

Similarly, I have been eyeing a great audio product from 1More called Stylish earbuds but they told me that a new one is coming on the market soon and you can review that one. I waited for some time and when the lockdown opened for the courier to start delivering - I received this awesome device called 1More ColorBuds which also my wife and I am using on a daily basis. She is using it more for her morning and evening walks and yoga exercises and I am only using it to attend to some office calls on MS Teams. 

1More ColorBuds

This year I joined the Huawei Developers Program and received some goodies from them from time to time by participating in their contests and attending their development sessions throughout the year. From t-shirts to pen drives to mugs to some of their most sought after products, you can win them all. I won some of the audio speakers I always wanted to have and also one of the Huawei Band 4e for my daughter just before her birthday. 

I upgraded myself from Samsung Note 8 (Bought from Amazon India in 2018) to Note 20 this year and it was a great feeling. I still feel that the camera on the Note 8 is better as compared to the Note 20 but thanks to Samsung for always creating new devices. This year I got invited to their online launch event after a gap of at least 3 years and got to eat some of the great snacks and drinks and check out the various products on display at their office. 

I also started using the Canon EOS M50 camera for shooting my youtube content and felt so great to become one of the vloggers in the world who trust their M50 to the core. Most of the videos on my Youtube channel as well as my daughter's Keisha Youtube channel are shot using the M50 camera. If you have not followed me on the channel, please hit the Subscribe button.

vivo Mobile send me their X50 Pro Smartphone for review and also one of their new Neo TWS earphones which are still not used by me and will be unboxed in 2021 on my youtube channel. I totally loved the smartphone and wanted to hold onto the same but the budgets were not there to sponsor me the same. My wife wants to own the phone which I will gift her after buying it from India as the price difference is really huge and it's almost half the price there. 

26th Jan 2020 was the day when we met again after a long gap of many years since our MBA together!

After a gap of many years, Montecasino sponsored my 40th birthday dinner at one of my favourite restaurants named Thava Indian Restaurant and I had a quiet lovely delicious dinner with my family during the lockdown restrictions were relaxed. I also got the chance to join various other dinner and lunch events by Dine Jozi Style - Edward and enjoy some of the great evenings in the great company of like-minded people.

I also got to do some of the sponsored posts for Mattel which Keisha did on her Youtube channel and if you like her videos and wants to send her products to review do send me an email and we can feature your products and toys. 

My first time to Golden Temple in Amritsar in Jan 2020

We also visited India in Jan 2020 and had an awesome trip in Dubai (Feb 2020) on our return where we got to see the famous sightseeing points in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. I really enjoyed it but we didn't shop as 4 days is too little to go on a shopping spree in Dubai if you are a first time visitor. My brother too flew in from California and he hired a Land Cruiser Prado which made roaming around in Dubai much easier. 

At the end of the year, for the first time in the life of The Life's Way - I received the Christmas Gifts from Samsung in terms of Galaxy Buds Live and from Huawei too in terms of Huawei Watch GT2e which are going to my daily devices in 2021. I still have to unbox them and start enjoying which I am planning to do it on the 8th anniversary day of my blog i.e. 27th December 2020. Before this, I only received a Christmas gift from Montecasino once long ago maybe in 2015 which were some gingerbread snacks and a soft toy. 

Thanks to all of the readers, brands and PR companies for trusting me with your products and services. I hope I have been able to do justice to them. I look forward to a great 2021 for my blog and youtube channel and will focus on getting the niche which is Lifestyle and Technology. Have a great festive season and a Merry Christmas and wishing you all a great Happy New Year 2021!

Cheers!!!
