The device feels premium despite its plastic back and frame, paired with a glass front for durability. It offers IP64-rated dust and water resistance, giving users confidence against minor splashes and dust exposure. However, while the phone adheres to MIL-STD-810H compliance, it’s not specifically built for extreme conditions.
Available in elegant colors like Glacier Blue, Titanium Gold, and Diamond Black, the Vivo Y29 ensures both style and functionality.
Display
The Vivo Y29 features a 6.68-inch IPS LCD with a 120Hz refresh rate and peak brightness of 1000 nits (HBM), providing a fluid and vibrant viewing experience. With a resolution of 720 x 1608 pixels and a pixel density of 264 ppi, it delivers sharp visuals, although its HD+ resolution may not satisfy users looking for Full HD displays.
Performance and Software
Under the hood, the Vivo Y29 is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset built on a 6nm process, offering efficient performance. The octa-core CPU consists of 2 Cortex-A76 cores clocked at 2.4 GHz and 6 Cortex-A55 cores at 2.0 GHz, making it capable of handling multitasking and casual gaming. The Mali-G57 MC2 GPU ensures smooth graphics rendering for basic gaming needs.
The device runs on Android 14, skinned with Vivo’s Funtouch OS 14, offering a user-friendly interface with customization options.
Memory and Storage
The Vivo Y29 comes in multiple configurations to suit different needs:
- 128GB storage with 4GB, 6GB, or 8GB RAM
- 256GB storage with 8GB RAM
The device uses eMMC 5.1 storage, which, while not the fastest, is adequate for day-to-day tasks. Additionally, it supports microSDXC expansion via a shared SIM slot, offering flexibility for additional storage.
Camera Capabilities
The Vivo Y29 is equipped with a 50 MP primary camera featuring a wide f/1.8 aperture, PDAF, and an auxiliary lens for enhanced versatility. The camera setup supports 1080p video recording at 30fps, ensuring decent quality for both photos and videos.
The 8 MP selfie camera performs well in good lighting conditions and supports 1080p video recording, making it suitable for video calls and social media updates.
Battery and Charging
One of the standout features of the Vivo Y29 is its 5500 mAh battery, which promises extended usage. The device supports 44W wired fast charging, ensuring minimal downtime, and offers reverse wired charging, allowing it to act as a power bank for other devices.
Connectivity and Features
The Vivo Y29 covers all essential connectivity options, including dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.4, and USB Type-C with OTG support. It also includes a side-mounted fingerprint sensor for secure and quick unlocking.
Conclusion
