Finally, Vivo Philippines is introducing the smartphones that we here at Revü have been waiting for for quite some time now.

(Update, May 8: Vivo Philippines has revealed the start of blind peorders for the X60!)

After successively releasing handsets from its Y lineup, the company is ready to launch the 5G-ready flagships. We have yet to find out which models are going to be released in the country, but our gut tells us we’ll see the Vivo X60 Pro and Vivo X60 here. They are, after all, the models that arrived in Malaysia and are the ones mentioned in Vivo Philippines’ most recent X60 series-related blog post.

There’s a global version of the Vivo X60 Pro Plus with Qualcomm Snapdragon 888, too, but that became available in India, a market that some manufacturers treat differently than others.

The international variants of the Vivo X60 Pro and Vivo X60 5G phones use Snapdragon 870 instead of Samsung’s Exynos 1080. They are camera-focused, with an imaging system that is co-engineered with German optics manufacturer Zeiss. Vivo says the partnership, in addition to the gimbal camera and improved multi-modal features, makes the X60 series the go-to flagship lineup for professional photography without the need for accessories.

In Malaysia, the more premium Vivo X60 Pro 12GB/256GB is priced at RM3,299 (around P38,551) while the X60 with the same memory configuration costs RM2,699 (P31,540).

Vivo Philippines should be announcing the smartphones’ launch date soon. We’ll let you know as soon as we get an update from the company.
