If it’s time to upgrade your smartphone, there are plenty of reasons why the vivo V29 Pro is the ultimate choice. The arrival of this phone has completely changed the status quo in the mid-range segment, as so many flagship-grade features are seldom showered onto a handset from this price range. Along with an exquisite design, it carries a professional camera setup, adept at capturing dazzling portraits that are sure to ramp up your social media clout. And with the Smart Aura Light technology, things take a huge leap in terms of night-time photography. The V29 Pro is set to be the most coveted smartphone to buy this shopping season. Let us explain why.
Best design – Exquisite design that catches the eye right away!
The vivo V29 Pro is a design marvel, to say the least. Its Himalayan Blue model boasts of being the first phone in India to use the 3D particle tech. Staying true to the Himalayan topography, this innovative technology creates a floating mountain texture on the rear surface, by using nano-scale magnetic particles. About 15 million such particles are magnetised at controlled angles to achieve the peculiar layered light effect that gives the phone its distinct aura. It also allows the rear surface to evoke the grandeur of the Himalayan mountains, along with replicating the unique allure of the mountain range, no matter if it’s held under sunlight or in shadow.
Along with being an instant eye-grabber, the V29 Pro is also an incredibly comfortable device to hold. Its construction is highlighted by a seamless transition between its smooth and delicate curved surface and its extremely narrow frame. This helps the phone achieve an elegant thickness of just 7.46mm. In fact, the curvature contributes to the device getting an ergonomic grip, making it incredibly grippy. And then there’s the phone’s 3D Curved Display, which offers a borderless field of view, creating a wide and immersive viewing experience.
This unique design helps the phone feel compact despite the large 6.78-inch AMOLED display on its front. This panel impresses with its peak brightness of 1300 nits, which helps it deliver HDR10+ visuals to make your favourite TV shows and movies shine like never before. The AMOLED display offers cinema-grade colours as it covers 100 percent of the DCI-P3 colour gamut. The vivo V29 Pro takes special care of your eyes as well. Its Genuine Eye Protection technology aims to reduce harmful blue light and screen flickering in order to deliver more comfortable long-time usage. To increase eye comfort, it also uses delicate colour and brightness adjustments.
Best camera phone – Capture your memories like never before!
The vivo V29 Pro is no doubt set to be your ideal photography companion thanks to its cutting-edge camera setup. A 50MP Sony IMX766 sensor headlines the lineup and excels at capturing every little detail in the scene, whether it’s in the highlights or shadows. This OIS-equipped camera is especially great in dark and dimly lit settings as its large size allows it to capture more light and produce crisp and beautiful images.
There’s plenty more goodness to the vivo V29 Pro’s camera experience. It’s got a special India-exclusive Wedding Style Portrait photography suite consisting of three different LUTs that have been specially designed keeping the Indian wedding colour palette in mind. vivo’s exceptional Super Night Video feature is also present here, allowing the capture of brilliant night-time videos, some tailored night scene algorithms, and electronic image stabilisation. A Pro Sports Mode is another noteworthy aspect of this phone’s camera, as is its Vlog Movie Creator. Coming to its front camera, this one’s another 50MP sensor with the Eye AF technology that offers a sharp focus on multiple faces at a time.
Best portrait features – Your photos deserve a special treatment
Another thing this camera excels at is capturing stunning portraits with the that’s enabled by dedicated Sony IMX 663 sensor that allows the phone to click 2x portrait shots. Considered the ideal focal length for portrait shooting, it gives you a shooting distance of 0.5 to 2 meters. The end result is magnificent portraits that are exceptional in quality and comparable to those clicked with high-end DSLR cameras. And then, as if that wasn’t enough, vivo has brought its Smart Aura Light tech to this phone as well. When it comes to photography, the flashlight is probably the least used feature on smartphones, as it tends to spoil the image with excessive illuminance. Smart Aura Light is crafted to address this very problem.
The ring-shaped light not only provides even 360-degree illuminance but it also reacts to ambient color temperature to emit the ideal amount of light needed. While the Aura Light smartly adjusts the colour temperature according to the ambient light, you even get manual control to create a desired atmosphere by simply adjusting the colour temperature slider.
The core functionality of Aura Light is to ensure that even in unfavourable lighting conditions, you as the user are empowered to click the pictures to your liking. For instance, when your subject is around warm light sources, this technology will counter that with its own candlelight-like warm flash to bring out the natural elegance in the picture. The same process is followed when the subject is in environments with cool light or neon light, resulting in stunning and natural low-light photos every time. The Smart Aura Light technology and the 2x portrait lens of the phone are a match made in heaven. On top of this, the Aura Light even works in video mode. This means that you will get the best possible photos and videos at any given party. Needless to say, anyone who owns the Vivo V29 Pro will surely be in high demand during gatherings of friends and family.
