Camera
Both phones come with an identical triple camera setup, with a 50MP main camera, a 50MP periscopic telephoto lens, and an 8MP ultrawide camera.

Final verdict
Choosing between Vivo V70 and Vivo V60 ultimately comes down to what you value most. If your priority is value for money with a large screen, solid core performance and long battery life, the V60 is still an excellent choice, especially at its lower price.
