vivo has added a new variant to its V60 series lineup with the V60 Lite. This isn't a completely fresh device - it originally launched in September last year. The new model (V2549), which recently appeared in Panama, brings one significant hardware upgrade under the hood.

New Chipset Powers the V60 Lite
The vivo V60 Lite becomes the first smartphone to ship with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 6s 4G Gen 2 processor. This chip replaces the previous Snapdragon 685 found in the original release. The move to this newer 4G chipset should deliver modest improvements in efficiency and performance for daily tasks.
Qualcomm's Snapdragon 6s 4G Gen 2 is built on a refined architecture aimed at mid-range devices. It targets users who need reliable connectivity without 5G capabilities. This positioning makes sense for markets where 5G infrastructure is still developing.
Display and Camera Specifications
Most specifications remain unchanged from the previous version. The phone sports a 6.77-inch AMOLED panel with FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. This display should offer smooth scrolling and decent color reproduction for the price segment.

The camera setup stays the same. You get a 50MP main shooter paired with an 8MP ultrawide lens on the back. For selfies, there's a 32MP front-facing camera housed in a punch-hole cutout. An optical under-display fingerprint scanner handles biometric authentication.
Battery and Software Features
The battery capacity remains generous at 6,500 mAh. vivo includes 90W wired charging support, which should top up the massive cell relatively quickly. There's also 6W reverse wired charging for powering accessories on the go.
On the software side, the V60 Lite runs Android 15 with vivo's Funtouch OS 15 interface layered on top. The device carries an IP65 rating for dust and water resistance, offering some protection against splashes and light rain.
Availability and Colors
The vivo V60 Lite is currently listed in Panama through vivo's official channels. It comes in two color options - black and blue. vivo has not shared official pricing information for this market yet. The phone's quiet regional debut suggests it may roll out to additional markets in the coming weeks.
The combination of a large 6,500mAh battery, 90W fast charging, and the new Snapdragon 6s 4G Gen 2 positions this as a practical choice for users prioritizing endurance and 4G connectivity over cutting-edge features.
