Best overall pick: the vivo V60 Lite 5G, RM1,529 at Shopee Malaysia (checked 29 September 2026), thanks to its 50MP Sony IMX882 camera and 6500mAh battery. If you want to spend less, the vivo Y400 5G at RM699 covers the basics well. If you want more RAM and a sharper camera system, the vivo V60 5G at RM2,229 is the step up.

Best overall: vivo V60 Lite 5G
The V60 Lite pairs a 50MP Sony IMX882 main camera with vivo's Dimensity 7360-Turbo chip, and its 6500mAh battery with 90W fast charging covers a full day of heavy use with room to spare. The AMOLED 120Hz display carries an IP65 splash rating and MIL-STD-810H durability testing, which is unusual at this price. It runs Android with vivo's Funtouch OS, which carries some pre-installed apps you will want to remove.

Best budget: vivo Y400 5G
The Y400 5G is built around a 6000mAh battery with 90W fast charging and a 120Hz display, both unusual at RM699. Its 50MP main camera is decent in daylight but struggles at night, and the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chip is entry-level, fine for calls, messaging and social apps but not for heavy gaming.

Best for more RAM and storage: vivo V60 5G
The V60 5G steps up to 12GB of RAM, up to 512GB of storage and a ZEISS multifocal camera system on a Snapdragon 7 Gen chip, noticeably smoother than the V60 Lite under multitasking.

How we chose
vivo's Malaysian lineup changes every few months as older Y and V series models are discontinued, so we checked live Shopee Malaysia listings rather than vivo's own spec pages, which lag behind what is actually in stock. We prioritised models with real sales history from vivo's own official Shopee store or a high-volume authorised reseller, and dropped several older V and Y series models (V21e, Y15s, Y12A, Y20s, Y20, V21 5G, Y33s, X60 5G) that no longer have any current, trustworthy listing in Malaysia.

Is vivo a good phone to buy?
For camera quality and battery life at a given price, vivo's V and Y series are competitive with Xiaomi, OPPO and realme in the same price bands.
