Frequently asked
When does the Vivo V60e stop getting updates?
Vivo indicates the V60e will receive around 3 major Android OS upgrades and up to 5 years of security patches. Since it launched in September 2025 on Android 15, that points to security coverage until roughly late 2030, though because it ships one version behind, its final Android release will likely be Android 18. We list this as estimated until Vivo publishes a model-specific commitment.
Is the Vivo V60e worth buying in 2026?
For buyers who prioritize cameras and durability under about $360, it is a strong pick: the 200MP sensor, 6,500mAh battery and IP69 rating are genuinely good, and four-plus years of security support remain. The catch is the mid-tier Dimensity 7360 Turbo and the launch on older Android 15, so performance chasers and software purists should look elsewhere.
What battery does the Vivo Y39 5G have?
It packs a 6500mAh battery with 44W wired charging, one of the largest in its price class.
How many years of updates does the Vivo Y39 5G receive?
Vivo officially confirmed 2 years of Android OS upgrades and 3 years of security updates, meaning support to roughly March 2028.
