Rise of travel minimalism & the device making it possible

Travel today has become fast, casual and deeply content-driven. People are hopping onto road trips, weekend flights and cross-country adventures with one goal, to experience more while carrying less.

The days of packing heavy cameras, multiple chargers, editing gadgets and backup equipment are fading.

A new kind of traveller has emerged: the digital minimalist, one who values light bags, simple setups, and devices that can do everything without the clutter.

It is this mindset that is powering devices like the vivo V60 Lite, built for travellers who prefer simplicity without sacrificing performance.

Today’s travellers are choosing compactness over clutter. They no longer want to juggle 10 different gadgets for photos, navigation, communication and editing.

Instead, they want a single device that fits seamlessly into their pocket while still delivering premium performance.

The V60 Lite reflects this preference with its slim flat-screen design, ultra-thin bezels, lightweight build, and sleek form in two premium colours: Titanium Blue, inspired by Arctic glaciers with a metallic sheen, and Elegant Black, a classic black enhanced with subtle shimmer.

At the heart of its design is the transparent camera module, housing vertically aligned lenses in a compact, streamlined layout that blends seamlessly with the body.

Stylish enough for city travel and compact enough for long-distance adventures, the V60 Lite doubles as both a travel companion and a statement of minimalist style.

Digital minimalists expect their phones to replace professional gear, especially when travelling.

The V60 Lite’s triple-camera system, a 50 MP Sony main lens, 8 MP wide-angle camera and 32 MP HD selfie camera, delivers studio-level portraits without extra equipment.

Its third-generation AI Aura Light Portrait adjusts brightness, softens light and blends colour temperature naturally with ambient surroundings, whether it’s a candlelit dinner or a bright seaside afternoon.

Advanced features like Master Portrait Style Bokeh, AI Master HD Algorithm, AI Erase 3.0, AI Enhance, and seasonal portrait styles give travellers instant editing tools on the go, eliminating the need for laptops or additional software.

Minimalism fails when devices can’t keep up. Travellers often carry multiple chargers and power banks out of fear of running out of battery.

The V60 Lite addresses this with a 6500 mAh BlueVolt Battery and 90W FlashCharge, reaching full charge in just under an hour and maintaining efficiency for up to five years.

Performance is also seamless with either the MediaTek Dimensity 7360-Turbo 5G processor on the 5G version or Snapdragon 685 on the 4G version, supported by up to 12 GB RAM + 12 GB Extended RAM and 256 GB ROM.

The 6.77-inch AMOLED display with 120 Hz refresh rate and 94.2% screen-to-body ratio delivers immersive visuals, while dual stereo speakers with 400% volume provide rich audio, perfect for streaming, gaming or media playback on the go.

Modern travellers blend leisure with productivity. They send emails at the airport, capture portraits at sunset, edit content in transit and jot down ideas on the go.

AI tools such as Gemini-powered note assist, captions, transcripts and translation allow the V60 Lite to replace multiple work gadgets. Everything happens on-device, reducing the need for tablets, laptops or portable recorders.

Digital minimalism isn’t about carrying less; it’s about carrying smarter. With the Vivo V60 Lite, travellers can stay creative, productive, and connected, all without being weighed down.
