The vivo V60 arrives in the South African market as an exceptionally stylish, feature-packed contender in the mid-range smartphone tier. Traditionally, vivo’s V-series has carved out a massive reputation for bringing premium design elements, high-end display tech, and studio-grade selfie features down to an accessible price point, and the V60 continues that legacy.

Here is a breakdown of its local pricing, key features, and where you can find it.

South African Pricing & Availability

The vivo V60 starts from ZAR 8,500.

Please note that exact retail pricing will fluctuate based on store promotions, seasonal deals, and your physical location in South Africa. It is widely available both cash up-front and on monthly cellular contracts.

Where to Buy

vivo has established an incredibly broad distribution network across South Africa, making it simple to pick up the V60 through digital storefronts or at physical malls and retail centers:

E-Commerce & Online Stores: Takealot, Hi Online
Retail & Clothing Outlets: Foschini, Mr Price, Makro, Game, PEP, Ackermans
Cellular & Tech Specialists: Cellucity, HiFi Corp, 4U
Mobile Network Providers: MTN, Chatz Connect

Standout Features

The vivo V60 strikes a fine balance between high-end aesthetics and everyday functional performance:

Premium Curved AMOLED Display: The front is dominated by a crisp, beautiful AMOLED panel featuring smooth, subtle curves on the edges. Boasting a 120Hz refresh rate, it makes scrolling through feeds and watching HDR video content incredibly fluid.
Studio-Grade Aura Light Portrait: A hallmark of the V-series, the rear camera array features vivo’s specialized “Aura Light” ring. Rather than a harsh, tiny camera flash, it casts a soft, adjustable studio-like light that dynamically shifts temperature to perfectly match the room’s ambient lighting.
Elite 50MP Selfie & Main Cameras: It focuses heavily on mobile photography, packing a high-resolution 50MP main rear camera with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) alongside an equally sharp, autofocus-enabled 50MP front-facing camera for clear, crisp group selfies and vlogging.
All-Day Battery with 80W Fast Charging: To keep up with heavy daily use, it houses a generous, power-efficient battery. When you need a top-up, the 80W FlashCharge tech can rocket the battery from empty to half-full in roughly 20 minutes.
Sleek, Slim Profile: Despite packing serious battery and camera tech, vivo has maintained an incredibly slim, lightweight chassis that feels distinctly premium in the hand and slides into pockets effortlessly.
Splash & Dust Protection: It carries solid everyday weather protection, sealing the device against accidental liquid spills, dust ingress, and unexpected South African downpours.
