The company has also revealed key Vivo V29 and V29 Pro features like design details, dimensions, colour choices, and camera capabilities on the microsite.

Vivo V29, V29 Pro: what we know so far

  • Design: Vivo is teasing a 3D particle design on the body and this chassis could be 7.46mm in thickness and 186g in heft.
  • Colours: Both Vivo phones will be coming in Himalayan Blue, Majestic Red, and Space Black variants, as seen on the microsite.
  • Cameras: The portraits on the Vivo V29 Pro are backed by a Sony IMX663 sensor. This could be an ultrawide shooter with a 12-megapixel resolution. Meanwhile, the Vivo V29 Pro cameras could also include a primary 50MP Sony IMX766 sensor. You can take Night Portraits with Aura Light on the back of the phone. Vivo has also included the popular Wedding Style Portrait feature for a “dreamy bokeh effect”.
  • The Vivo V29’s camera setup could be led by a 50MP ISOCELL GN5 sensor from Samsung. Its secondary camera could be an 8MP ultrawide snapper. Both phones could also include a 2MP depth sensor. The front camera on both could be a 50MP sensor.

  • Display: The teaser tells the phones or at least the Pro model could have a curved display. From the global model, we know the Vivo V29 has a 6.78-inch AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, 1.5K resolution, and HDR10+ playback support. 
  • Chipset: The Vivo V29 (global edition) has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G SoC inside.
  • Software: It is likely that the Vivo V29 lineup ships with Android 13-based Funtouch OS.
  • Battery: The vanilla model could have a 4,600mAh battery with 80W fast charging capability. 
  • Memory: Vivo V29 is available globally in 8GB + 128GB, 8GB + 256GB and 12GB + 256GB variants. We suppose the Pro variant could also come in the same configurations.
