Should you buy the Vivo V29e?

The Vivo V29e price in India after all the discounts and bank offers should come to Rs 23,999. At this cost, the phone is genuinely a decent option to consider. You get a premium 120Hz AMOLED display, a large 5,000mAh battery that can juice up at 44W speed and a 64MP primary camera.

However, the Snapdragon 695 chipset isn't the most powerful SoC on the market at this price. While it can handle decent to moderate tasks like calls, social media apps, clicking pictures and more, the phone struggles to continue the momentum during heavy tasks and gaming. So if you are planning on buying the phone for heavy usage, then the Vivo V29e is not for you. The cameras are also decent but not the most premium. We have better alternatives like the Realme 12 Pro, which can click better images even in low-light conditions.
