Vivo X60 Pro+: The first ZEISS Vivo flagship — gimbal stabilisation comes of age.

SpecEagle Editorial·Jan 2021·$1,099·Score 80/100

X60 Pro+ was the start of Vivo's ZEISS partnership and one of the first phones with a true micro-gimbal stabilisation system — a step-change in low-light and video that competitors spent two years catching up to. Snapdragon 888 heat and a China-only launch kept it niche; it remains the spiritual ancestor of every X-Ultra since.
