With an overall score of 128, the Vivo X60 Pro+ 5G just makes it into the current top ten in our DXOMARK Camera ranking, only a few points behind such heavy hitters as the Huawei Mate 40 Pro+ at 139 and Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra at 133.
The Vivo X60 Pro+ 5G camera captures excellent pictures in a wide range of lighting conditions; good exposure, wide dynamic range, accurate white balance, and high detail are all note-worthy attributes. Its Photo score of 131 is very good, but some problems with exposure instability, visible noise, and autofocus failures prevented it from scoring higher.
In the Zoom department, the dual tele-modules (together with an ultra-wide) ensured that the Vivo X60 Pro+ 5G achieved a solid 84. While tele-lens shots are very acceptable at all distances, the X60 Pro+ 5G’s tele score of 107 isn’t quite as good as previous dual-telephoto lens devices we’ve tested, such as the Huawei Mate 40 Pro+ and the Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra, due to a lack of detail at long range as well as quite significant autofocus and exposure instabilities.
The Photo and Zoom issues mentioned above also prevented the Vivo X60 Pro+ 5G from scoring higher than its predecessor, the Vivo X50 Pro+.
With a Video score of 110, the device offers a very good experience when shooting movies. Great detail in outdoor and indoor movies and nice color rendering with accurate white balance ensures that most videos really pop. Noise gets a little high in low-light conditions, but if you seek out some fairly decent lighting, you’ll be impressed with the Vivo’s video capabilities.
Below you can find a detailed analysis and image samples for all Photo, Zoom, and Video sub-attributes, as well as comparisons with two of the Vivo X60 Pro+ 5G’s competitors, the Huawei Mate 40 Pro+ and the Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra.

These samples show the Vivo X60 Pro+ 5’’s and its competitors’ tele performance at a long-range zoom setting.
Video
The Vivo X60 Pro+ 5G achieves a Video score of 110. A device’s overall Video score is derived from its performance and results across a range of attributes in the same way as the Photo score. In this section, we take a closer look at these sub-scores and compare video image quality against competitors.
In our Video tests we analyze the same image quality attributes as for still images, such as exposure, color, texture or noise, but we also include such temporal aspects as speed, and smoothness and stability of exposure, white balance and autofocus transitions.

For video artifacts, we check for the same kinds of artifacts mentioned in the Photo section, along with such video-specific artifacts as frame rate variation in different light conditions, judder effect, and moving artifacts (artifacts such as aliasing, color quantization, and flare can often be more intrusive when moving than in a still image).
This video shows a hue shift near saturation in the background.
Stabilization
