Autonomy (71)
How long a battery charge lasts depends not only on battery capacity but also on other aspects of the phone’s hardware and software. The DXOMARK Battery autonomy score is composed of three performance sub-scores: (1) Stationary, (2) On the go, and (3) Calibrated use cases. Each sub-score comprises the results of a comprehensive range of tests for measuring autonomy in all kinds of real-life scenarios.

A robot housed in a Faraday cage performs a set of touch-based user actions during what we call our “typical usage scenario” (TUS) — making calls, video streaming, etc. — 4 hours of active use over the course of a 16-hour period, plus 8 hours of “sleep.” The robot repeats this set of actions every day until the device runs out of power.
The X60 Pro 5G lasted 67 hours in our TUS tests. Lasting 61 hours 38 minutes, the Xiaomi 11T Pro is not too far behind, but both the Oppo and Samsung devices are off the pace.

Using a smartphone on the go takes a toll on autonomy because of extra “hidden” demands, such as the continuous signaling associated with cellphone network selection, for example. DXOMARK Battery experts take the phone outside and perform a precisely defined set of activities while following the same three-hour travel itinerary for each device.
The Vivo X60 Pro 5G (Snapdragon) put in an acceptable but not stellar performance in our on the go tests.

For this series of tests, the smartphone returns to the Faraday cage and our robots repeatedly perform actions linked to one specific use case (such as gaming, video streaming, etc.) at a time. Starting from an 80% charge, all devices are tested until they have expended at least 5% of their battery power.
Results for the Vivo device were a mixed bag: it was right in the middle of the pack for most use cases, but was particularly strong in music streaming and weak in 3G calling.

Charging (86)
The DXOMARK Battery charging score is composed of two sub-scores, Full charge and Quick boost. Full charge tests assess the reliability of the battery power gauge; measure how long it takes to charge a battery from zero to 80% capacity and from 80 to 100%; and measure how long and how much power the battery takes to go from an indicated 100% to an actual full charge. With the phone at different charge levels (20%, 40%, 60%, 80%), Quick boost tests measure the amount of charge the battery receives after being plugged in for 5 minutes.
Users can expect a good overall charging experience with the Vivo device and its 33W charger.

Although at 62.5% capacity it is way ahead of the Samsung Galaxy S21 5G (Exynos) after charging for 30 minutes, the Vivo X60 Pro 5G (Snapdragon) lags behind both the Oppo Reno6 Pro 5G with its 65W charger and the Xiaomi 11T Pro with its 120W charger.

Efficiency (98)
The DXOMARK power efficiency score consists of two sub-scores, Charge up and Discharge rate, both of which combine data obtained during robot-based typical usage scenario testing, outdoor mobility testing, charging evaluation, and power measurements, and then take into consideration the device’s battery capacity.
The Vivo leads among its rivals for overall Efficiency, thanks to its good discharge management.
