Vivo Y600 price and availability in China
The phone is on pre-order in China now, ahead of open sales on October 30. Alongside the 10,000mAh cell, it supports 44W wired fast charging and reverse wired charging, so the handset can also top up other devices.
The 6.83-inch AMOLED display runs at 120Hz, and the phone is powered by the Dimensity 7300e chipset. Cameras consist of a 50MP primary rear camera and an 8MP selfie camera, while an under-display fingerprint sensor, NFC and IP68 protection round out the package.
Full pricing runs from CNY 1,999 (around $280) for 6GB/128GB and CNY 2,099 (around $295) for 8GB/128GB, to CNY 2,199 (around $310) for 6GB/256GB and CNY 2,499 (around $350) for 8GB/256GB. Colour options are Diamond Gold, Obsidian Black and Sapphire Blue.
Context & Background
The Y600 is essentially a rebranded vivo S2 FE, also known as the V80 Lite, for the Chinese market. That makes it a close relative of the Vivo V80, which launches on October 30 with a 7,200mAh battery of its own. The Y600 goes much further on endurance, though, and its record livestream run is the detail vivo is leading with.
Big batteries are a running theme in this week’s launches. Xiaomi’s Redmi K100 also arrived in China with a 10,000mAh battery, while the Realme 17 Pro leak pointed to another 10,000mAh phone with a 200MP camera.
Industry Reaction & Consumer Next Steps
For buyers in China, the Y600’s appeal is straightforward: a record-setting battery at a mid-range price, with open sales from October 30. International availability has not been announced, so buyers elsewhere will need to watch for a rebranded version under the S2 FE or V80 Lite names. Full details are in the original report on GSMArena.
