Symphony of design and aesthetics
The vivo V29e presents itself as an aesthetic masterpiece. The device boasts a dual pattern back with a diamond-cut design and a sleek glass finish that doesn’t just catch the eye but also feels secure and comfortable in hand. The 6.78-inch 120Hz 3D curved display not only offers an immersive viewing experience but also features a peak brightness of up to 1300 nits and an astounding 1.07 billion colours, making every visual element come to life. With a thickness of just 7.5mm, the vivo V29e is the slimmest smartphone in its segment with a 3D curved display.1
This slimness is beautifully complemented by a one-piece narrow frame that measures an impressive 2.29 mm. This design approach not only enhances the smartphone’s elegance but also creates an edge-to-edge field of view that draws you in and improves immersion. The overall weight of 180.5g feels balanced and comfortable, while the delicate lines and gold accents add a touch of class.
But that’s not all, the vivo V29e comes with the company’s Color Changing Fluorite AG Glass technology.2 This is available in two awesome colours — Artistic Red and Artistic Blue. vivo notes that these colours are a representation of creativity, elegance and aesthetics.

Beyond its remarkable design, the vivo V29e truly shines in its portrait photography capabilities. The smartphone houses an industry-leading 50MP Eye AF Selfie camera on the front, which is a pixel count that’s unheard of in this price range.3 This helps to capture selfies with unprecedented clarity and detail. The advanced Eye AF technology ensures that every shot focuses sharply on the subject’s eyes, no matter if they are in motion or still.
Turning the focus to the rear, we find a powerful 64MP OIS Night Portrait main camera accompanied by an 8 MP wide-angle camera. This camera system is engineered to capture up to six times more light, which translates to breathtaking night portraits that were once thought to be exclusive to premium, high-end devices. The addition of the 2X mode allows users to create DSLR-like portraits effortlessly.
The camera features of the V29e don’t end there. The smartphone presents a range of functions, from Super Night Mode and Super Night Selfie to the India exclusive Wedding Style Portrait Mode – a feature designed exclusively for the Indian market. The Bokeh Flare Portrait feature enhances portraits with a selection of four mesmerizing bokeh flares, including Stars, Hearts, Butterfly, and Cherry Blossom. With the Vlog Movie mode, crafting professional-level vlogs becomes seamless and intuitive, making it perfect for the Social Media savvy generation!
Uninterrupted and seamless experience
The vivo V29e isn’t just about aesthetics and photography; it’s also about delivering a smooth and uninterrupted smartphone experience. A sizable 5000mAh battery combined with 44W FlashCharge ensures that the device powers through the day without compromise. This longevity is complemented by the Extended RAM 3.0 feature, which provides an additional 8GB of RAM for seamless multitasking. Under the hood, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 processor delivers a smooth user experience, even during heavy multitasking.
The smartphone runs on FunTouch OS 13, which is based on Android 13. This not only offers a design-focused interface but also features enhanced privacy and security features.
