vivo Y600 Pro arrives with 10,200mAh Si-C battery and Dimensity 7300e

In just two generations, vivo has nearly doubled the battery capacity of its Y-series Pro smartphones. TheY400 Pro, which launched last June, arrived with a 5,500mAh battery, which is pretty average for midrangers these days. TheY500 Profollowed in November with a significant bump up to 7,000mAh, but the freshly announcedY600 Promakes them both feel tiny thanks to its 10,200mAh Si-C battery.

That’s a full 38Wh battery inside a smartphone, and it features fourth-generation silicon anode technology with 15% silicon content and an energy density of 886Wh/L. Judging by the capacity, you would assume that the Y600 Pro is some rugged beast of a phone but that’s far from true. Vivo managed to fit a 45% larger capacity cell while only making the Y600 Pro 0.4mm thicker. That’s a mere 5% increase in thickness, with the Y600 Pro measuring 8.25mm for those keeping track at home. vivo Y600 Pro dimensions

Armed with such a massive cell, vivo claims the Y600 Pro can easily last over 24 hours with an impressive 47 hours of calls, 28 hours of video playback or 16 hours of navigation. And vivo claims you can expect the battery inside the Y600 Pro to retain 80% of its capacity after 6 years of regular usage (1,600 charging cycles), thanks to its battery health management optimizations.

In terms of charging, you get 90W speeds, which is unchanged since the Y400 Pro generation, and you also get reverse wired charging, so you can use the phone as a portable powerbank. By the way, the Y600 Pro also features IP68 and IP69 ingress protection. Elsewhere, the Y600 Pro gets a 6.83-inch AMOLED (FHD+ 120Hz) alongside a 32MP front-facing camera and an optical fingerprint scanner.

Y600 Pro is the first phone to launch with MediaTek’s Dimensity 7300e chipset, which is nearly identical to the Dimensity 7300/7300X variants but uses a slightly less capable Arm Mali-G610 MC2 GPU and improved power efficiency. The software side is covered by OriginOS 6 based on Android 16. You also get a 50MP main cam with an f/1.8 aperture and OIS. The second module on the back is actually an IR blaster, which is a strange placement.

vivo Y600 Pro comes in black, blue, gold and violet colors. The base8/128GBtrim starts atCNY 1,999($292/€250 converted) while the top-tier12/512GBversion is priced atCNY 2,899 ($424/€361).
