NeoTeo's verdict
Which of the two is the better buy
The vivo S60 is the more complete choice for camera and performance: it adds a telephoto camera, a main aperture of f/1.8 versus f/1.9, and 16 GB of RAM versus 12 GB. It also leads on the display. The vivo S60e wins only on weight, at 199 g versus 207 g; the S60 has a 7.9 overall score versus 7.5.
For performance, the S60 pairs the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 with a CPU reaching 3 GHz, while the S60e uses the Dimensity 7500 and reaches 2.6 GHz. Memory also favors the S60: 16 GB versus 12 GB. Both share 7,200 mAh, 90 W charging, UFS 4.1 storage and up to 512 GB, so the battery does not decide between them.
The S60 has a 6.59-inch AMOLED display like the S60e, with 5,000 nits and 4,320Hz PWM on both, but adds features such as Always-On Display and eye-comfort certifications. For photography, its telephoto camera is present where the S60e has none, while Bluetooth adds aptX Adaptive and aptX Lossless alongside aptX HD. The S60e retains NFC, infrared and reverse charging, and is lighter; it is the better buy only if it costs less.
