Vivo confirmed on 22 October that the Y600 will carry a 10,000mAh “Blue Ocean” battery, open for pre-orders in China on 26 October and go on sale on 30 October, and it is promoting the phone with a Guinness World Records title of 32 hours 37 minutes, according to IT Home. The record is genuine, but it was set in August by a phone sold elsewhere as the V80 Lite 5G, it covers the length of a livestream rather than a standard battery test, and vivo’s own lab figures suggest no single charge could have covered it under the workloads described.
For buyers in China weighing the Y600 against vivo’s own Y600 Pro, the useful numbers are vivo’s lab runtimes and the charging speed, which on paper favour the Pro, rather than the record. Memeburn reported on 4 October that the Y600 5G shares a model number with the V80 Lite 5G and the S2 FE, in its look at the Y600 5G’s other names, so this piece focuses on what the Guinness title proves.

The record is titled “Longest electronic product testing live stream”, and Guinness lists the holder as the “vivo V80 Lite 5G Team”, with the attempt run in Chiang Mai, Thailand, on 5 and 6 August 2026 and verified on 11 August, according to the Guinness World Records entry. Guinness says the test put the phone through “continuous, high-drain scenarios” including GPS navigation, graphically intensive gaming, photography, video recording, streaming and voice calls, and it names the S2 FE, the Y600 5G and the JOVI Y600 Pro 5G as regional names for the same phone. IT Home and vivo’s own announcements give 11 August as the date of the attempt, which is the date Guinness verified it.
The entry does not say whether the phone ran on one charge. Four creators from Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines and Vietnam took turns with the phone, and vivo Philippines marketing director Liu Lu described the test as being about “how long the device can keep going and whether it can complete the challenge without interruption,” according to vivo Philippines. That describes a device running without a crash, not a battery lasting 32 hours.
Could One Charge Have Lasted 32 Hours 37 Minutes?
Vivo’s own lab figures for the V80 Lite 5G suggest it could not, at least under the workloads Guinness describes. Vivo Vietnam’s product page quotes 30 hours of continuous video playback, 14 hours of the game Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and a 12-hour mixed-use test that left 33% of the battery, all measured at 150 nits of brightness on Wi-Fi with a single app running.

Memeburn calculated that the mixed-use test drains about 5.6% of the battery an hour, which would empty it in roughly 18 hours, and the record is about 9% longer than even vivo’s gentlest heavy-use test, continuous video playback. Only voice calls with the screen off outlast it. Vietnamese outlet VnExpress described the result as achieved on a single charge, but neither Guinness nor vivo’s own pages make that claim, so the record is better read as a stability and marketing event than as a battery benchmark.
What Specs Should the Vivo Y600 Have?
Vivo has confirmed only the battery and sale dates for the China Y600, so the remaining specifications below come from the V80 Lite 5G sold in Vietnam, which Guinness ties to the Y600 5G name. They should be treated as expected rather than confirmed until vivo publishes the Y600’s spec sheet.

Fitting 10,000mAh into 8.59mm relies on vivo’s fourth-generation silicon anode battery, which vivo says keeps at least 80% of its capacity after 1,400 full cycles in its own lab. Memeburn’s V80 Lite specs analysis covers the camera and chip trade-offs that come with that battery.
How Does the Vivo Y600 Compare With the Y600 Pro?
The Vivo Y600 Pro, sold in China since April, lists 10,200mAh typical and 10,000mAh rated capacity with 90W charging and the same Dimensity 7300e chip, according to vivo China, and IT Home puts its starting price at 1,999 yuan. The V80 Lite 5G’s page lists 10,000mAh typical and 9,800mAh rated, so the two “10,000mAh” figures in vivo’s marketing measure different things, and the Pro holds about 2% more on either basis. The larger gap is charging, since the Pro’s 90W is roughly double the 44W expected on the Y600, and pricing has drifted upwards, with the near-identical Y600s Pro costing 400 yuan more than the Y600 Pro at launch, as Memeburn found in its Y600s Pro analysis.
The Y600 Needs a 1,699 Yuan Starting Price to Make Sense
Memeburn’s price threshold for the Vivo Y600 is 1,699 yuan for the entry model, because the phone only makes sense over the Y600 Pro if it starts at least 300 yuan below the Pro’s 1,999 yuan starting price. The two phones are expected to share a chip and a 1.5K-class 120Hz display, and the Pro carries about 2% more battery, so the Y600’s main concession is charging at roughly half the power, which matters more on a 10,000mAh cell because there is more to refill. The Guinness record should carry no weight in that decision, since vivo’s own mixed-use test implies about 18 hours to empty, roughly half the 32 hours 37 minutes on the certificate. That threshold would change if vivo’s Y600 spec sheet shows charging faster than the V80 Lite’s 44W, or if the Y600 Pro’s remaining stock is priced up towards the Y600s Pro.
FAQsWhen does the Vivo Y600 go on sale?
Vivo says the Y600 opens for pre-orders in China on 26 October 2026 and goes on sale on 30 October 2026. Vivo has not announced its price.
Did the Vivo Y600 set a Guinness World Record?
Guinness credits the record to the vivo V80 Lite 5G Team for a 32-hour 37-minute product testing livestream in August 2026, and lists the Y600 5G as one of the phone’s regional names.
Is the Vivo Y600 the same as the Y600 Pro?
No. The Y600 Pro has a 10,200mAh battery and 90W charging, while the Y600 has a confirmed 10,000mAh battery and is expected to charge at 44W.
