The Vivo Y600 is not trying to be the fastest phone, the thinnest phone, or the best camera phone. It is trying to be the phone you never have to think about charging — and it has a Guinness World Record to prove it. Its 10,000mAh battery livestreamed continuously for 32 hours and 37 minutes, and the phone starts at about $280 in China.
Key Takeaways
- The Vivo Y600 packs a massive 10,000mAh battery — roughly double what most phones offer.

- It pairs stamina with a 6.83-inch 120Hz AMOLED display and IP68 plus IP69 durability ratings.
- Prices start at CNY 1,999, or about $280, in China.

The Trade-Offs Are Honest Ones
The Y600 makes no secret of what it gives up for that battery. There is a single rear camera, so you do not get an ultrawide or a telephoto lens, and at 224g it is heavier than most mainstream phones. Those are real compromises, but they are easy to understand: one very good main camera instead of several mediocre ones, and a weight penalty you will likely forget once you stop carrying a charger everywhere.
What you get in return is unusual at this price — multi-day stamina, a bright high-refresh display, and durability ratings usually reserved for much more expensive handsets. Outside China, the same hardware is expected to appear as a global twin, reportedly as the Vivo V80 Lite 5G or the Vivo S2 FE, so buyers elsewhere may not have to wait long for a version of this phone.

The Vivo Y600 is available in four RAM and storage combinations, priced from CNY 1,999 to CNY 2,499 — roughly $280 to $350:
