Vivo has confirmed that the Y600 will go on sale in China on October 30, following pre-orders from October 26. The smartphone features a 10,000mAh battery and has completed a 32-hour livestream test recognized by Guinness World Records.

Vivo has confirmed the China launch date for its Y600 5G smartphone, which will join the the existing models such as the Vivo Y600 Pro and the Y600i. The company has highlighted the new phone's large battery as its main feature.

The Vivo Y600 packs a 10,000mAh Blue Ocean battery. According to Vivo's promotional material, the phone completed a continuous livestream test lasting 32 hours and 37 minutes. The achievement earned a Guinness World Records title for the longest electronic product testing livestream.

Vivo has shown the phone in white and blue, with a flat frame and a dual rear camera setup. The camera module lists a 50MP main camera with an aspherical lens.

The Y600 is also linked to the Indian Vivo S2 FE and the Malaysian Vivo V80 Lite 5G. All three phones are associated with the device code V2626.

Guinness World Records also lists the S2 FE and V80 Lite 5G as regional names for the phone used in its record-setting test. However, Vivo has not detailed how the Chinese Y600's hardware compares with the versions sold in other markets.

For reference, the Indian Vivo S2 FE features a 6.83-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a MediaTek Dimensity 7300e processor. It also has a 50MP main camera, a 32MP front camera, a 10,000mAh battery and 44W wired charging. These specifications offer a useful reference, although Vivo has yet to confirm the full specifications of the Chinese Y600.

Vivo's Y600 Pro provides another point of comparison. It features a 10,200mAh battery, a 6.83-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 90W charging. The Y600 has a slightly smaller battery, but its charging speed remains unconfirmed.

Vivo will open pre-orders for the Y600 in China on October 26, with sales beginning on October 30. The company has not announced its price, memory configurations or availability outside China.
