Vivo S60t with model V2620A listed on China Telecom.
It reveals 7,200mAh battery, Android 17, triple rear cameras featuring 50MP+50MP+8MP and 50MP front camera.
Design resembles Vivo V80 teasers and reports suggests S60t could launch globally as Vivo V80.
Vivo Smartphone carrying the model number V2620A has been listed in China Telecom’s product database. The same model number had earlier appeared on the Google Play Supported Devices List with the Vivo S60t name. However, its specifications have led to speculation that Vivo could launch this phone in the global market under the V80 name. Here’s more on what we know so far.
Vivo S60t Spotted On China Telecom
According to the details shared in a recent 91Mobiles report, the China Telecom listing gives the Vivo S60t a 7,200mAh battery, which stands out as one of its key specifications. For comparison, the Vivo V70 comes with a 6,500mAh battery.
This capacity is also in line with an earlier report about the Vivo V80, which claimed that the upcoming V-series phone would feature a 7,200mAh battery. This makes the S60t-V80 connection more interesting, although Vivo has not officially confirmed that the two phones are the same device.
The listing also mentions Android 17, but the exact software branding for the phone has not been confirmed yet.
The phone shown in the China Telecom listing has a design that looks similar to the Vivo V80 teasers. It features a centred punch-hole cutout on the front, while the rear panel carries a large camera island.
The camera module includes two large circular rings along with a smaller sensor and flash. Vivo is expected to offer the S60t in Starry Sea, Midsummer Night and Early Summer Green colours.
Vivo S60t – What Else We Know So Far?
China Telecom has listed the phone three configurations, 8GB + 128GB, 12GB + 256GB and 12GB + 512GB.
For photography, the phone is listed with a 50MP front camera. At the back, it reportedly has a triple-camera setup comprising a 50MP + 50MP + 8MP combination.
The chipset information provides another possible link to the Vivo V80. The V80 has already appeared on Geekbench with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 processor, which is also the chipset used by its predecessor. That Geekbench appearance showed the V80 with 8GB of RAM. The China Telecom listing, however, suggests Vivo could offer the phone in higher-memory versions as well including 12GB RAM configurations.
The S60t measures 157.52 x 74.33 x 7.89mm and weighs 206 grams.
Vivo has already started teasing the V80 in India highlighting its camera capabilities, AI features, low-light photography improvements and display experience. Vivo has also confirmed that the phone will have the biggest battery in a V-series model.
For now, Vivo has not confirmed that the S60t will be launched globally as the V80.

Vivo X500 Ultra Launch Expected by March or April
Speaking at the post-conference session held after the Vivo X500 series launch, Huang Tao, Vice President and Vice President of Product at Vivo revealed the launch timeline of the upcoming X500 Ultra. According to the executive, Vivo plans to introduce the Vivo X500 Ultra in China by March or April next year.
The brand has not yet revealed whether the flagship will also be launched in international markets.
Previous reports have hinted that Vivo could expand the X500 series with the X500e, X500 FE and X500 Ultra in the future.
As per reports, X500 Ultra is expected to sit at the top of the X500 lineup. As of now, there is no official information about the launch of the Vivo X500e or X500 FE.
What We Know About Vivo X500 Ultra So Far?
The Vivo X500 Ultra is expected to follow the approach of the Vivo X300 Ultra with a strong focus on photography and content creation. A previous leak by Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station claimed that Vivo was testing three different 200-megapixel telephoto sensors for the upcoming flagship.

The reported options include sensors measuring 1/1.12-inch, 1/1.3-inch and 1/1.4-inch. The larger 1/1.12-inch sensor could offer a more aggressive approach to telephoto photography, while the 1/1.3-inch and 1/1.4-inch options were reportedly being considered as more balanced solutions. However, it is not yet known which of these sensors Vivo will use in the final retail version.
The company is also said to be testing two different 35mm main camera setups. One configuration reportedly uses a 50-megapixel 1/1.28-inch LOFIC sensor with optical image stabilisation and a micro-gimbal lens system designed to provide a wide stabilisation angle. The second option is said to feature a larger 200-megapixel 1/1.12-inch LOFIC sensor.
According to the current rumours, the flagship could be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chipset. If this information is accurate, the X500 Ultra could offer a noticeable performance step up from the other X500 series models.
More information about the Vivo X500 Ultra including its final camera setup and availability is expected to emerge as its launch window gets closer.

The Vivo V80 has appeared on Geekbench, providing an early look at its expected performance and hardware. The smartphone has been listed with the V2648 model number and appears to be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 platform.
The Geekbench listing shows an eight-core processor with a peak clock speed of 2.80GHz, paired with an Adreno 722 GPU. The test unit was listed with 8GB of RAM and Android 17.
The Vivo V80 scored 1,070 points in the single-core test and 3,552 points in the multi-core test. These results come from a pre-launch device and may not represent the performance of the final retail version.
The Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 is also notable as the same chipset powers the existing Vivo V70, suggesting that the V80 could focus on other areas rather than making a major chipset upgrade.
The Geekbench listing also points towards Android 17, while reports suggest that Vivo could pair the smartphone with OriginOS 7. However, Vivo has not yet confirmed the complete software package for the V80.
Meanwhile, Vivo has started building anticipation for the smartphone in India. The company’s official teaser highlights the ZEISS camera capabilities of the V80, while an orange colour option has also been shown. The India landing page currently lists the smartphone as coming soon.

The Vivo V80 is expected to feature a 6.59-inch AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, the smartphone could be powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset paired with an Adreno 722 GPU.
The Geekbench listing confirms an 8GB RAM variant, although additional configurations are expected to be available. The phone is also tipped to run Android 17 with OriginOS 7.
For photography, the Vivo V80 is expected to continue the brand’s focus on imaging with a ZEISS-branded triple rear-camera setup. The system could include a 50-megapixel primary camera with OIS, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera and a 50-megapixel telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom.
For selfies and video calls, the smartphone is expected to feature a 50-megapixel front camera. Vivo has already started teasing the V80’s ZEISS camera capabilities, although the complete camera specifications are yet to be confirmed.
The smartphone is also tipped to pack a 7,200mAh battery with 90W wired charging, which would make battery capacity one of the notable changes over its predecessor.
Other expected features include 5G connectivity, USB Type-C and IP68/IP69-rated protection. However, most of these specifications are currently based on leaks and reports, and Vivo is yet to officially confirm the complete specifications.

According to EU energy efficiency labels for three Vivo smartphones shared by the tipster, the Vivo X500 Pro with model number V2621 will have a 6,305mAh rated battery, which is the same rated capacity as the Chinese model.
