The Indian smartphone market has a new contender — the Vivo V60 5G. Positioned as a photography-first device, it pairs an elegant design with strong performance and a big battery. But how does it stand against the Realme 15 Pro 5G, another mid-range phone known for its camera features? Here’s a detailed comparison to help you decide which one deserves your money.

Design and Display

The Vivo V60 5G makes a stylish statement with its textured Moonlit Blue finish and slim 7.5mm profile, despite housing a massive battery. Adding to its durability, it comes with IP68 and IP69 ratings for water resistance.

Realme’s 15 Pro, meanwhile, has gone for a glossy rear panel and a rectangular camera module. At 7.7mm thick, it’s slightly bulkier but offers comparable water protection.

When it comes to screens, Vivo packs a 6.77-inch quad-curved AMOLED panel with a 120 Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 5000 nits. Realme goes a step further with a 6.8-inch OLED display, a smoother 144 Hz refresh rate, and even brighter output at 6500 nits.

Camera Capabilities

This is where things get interesting. Vivo teams up with ZEISS for a triple rear setup: a 50MP main sensor, a 50MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, and an 8MP ultrawide shooter.

Realme’s 15 Pro opts for a simpler dual setup—a 50MP main lens and a 50MP ultrawide. Both phones, however, feature a 50MP selfie camera on the front.

On the software side, Vivo leans on its AI tricks like AI Four Seasons, AI Hyper Zoom, AI Aura Light Portrait 2.0, and AI Erase 3.0. Realme pushes its own fun-centric features, branding the 15 Pro as an “AI Party Phone” with tools like AI Party Mode, AI Edit Genie, AI Snap Mode, and AI Landscape.

Performance and Battery

Under the hood, both phones share the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 processor. Vivo offers configurations up to 16GB RAM and 512GB storage, while Realme caps RAM at 12GB but also goes up to 512GB storage.

Battery life, though, sets them apart. The Vivo V60 5G packs a 6500mAh cell with 90W Flash charging, while Realme brings in a larger 7000mAh battery paired with 80W fast charging.

Pricing in India

Vivo V60 5G: Starts at ₹36,999 (8GB + 128GB)

Realme 15 Pro 5G: Starts at ₹31,999 (8GB + 128GB)

Verdict

Both smartphones bring strong midrange competition with a balance of style, performance, and camera features. Vivo shines with its ZEISS partnership and slimmer design, while Realme counters with brighter display specs, a bigger battery, and a more affordable price tag.

If camera versatility and design matter more, the Vivo V60 5G makes sense. But if you want sheer battery life and better value, the Realme 15 Pro 5G edges ahead.
