Apart from the stellar performance, the handsets will not disappoint in the camera aspects. The vanilla Vivo X60 will sport a triple-camera setup whereas the Pro model has four cameras. According to a recent leak, the X60 will bring a primary 48MP camera, a 13MP super-wide lens, and a 13MP portrait camera. The Pro model has an additional 8MP periscope zoom lens with 5x optical zoom and up to 60x digital zoom. To make things more interesting, these lenses come with ZEISS technology. Of course, the new OriginOS software will bring a set of camera features to greatly expand the capabilities of this camera setup.
