vivo V29 256GB Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
7.5/10
Verdict
The Vivo V29 offers a mix of appealing features. It boasts an intriguing design, a stunning AMOLED 3D curved screen, extended battery life, and quick charging options, all complemented by promising cameras. However, it falls short in terms of performance and lacks stereo output, which might disappoint gaming enthusiasts and multimedia users.
Pros
- Appealing design
- Nice display
- Impressive battery life
- Promising cameras in daylight
Cons
- No stereo speakers
- Bloatware
- Performance could have been better
Design and display
+
The Vivo V29 boasts an attractive design, if not as premium as compared to its elder sibling, the V29 Pro, which features a metal frame instead of plastic. The plastic frame, however, contributes to a slightly lighter weight for the smartphone, coming in at 186 grams. While the phone may not be considered compact by modern standards, its curved design and slim profile at 7.46mm make it relatively comfortable to hold and use.

Performance and software
+
You will notice some notable differences between the two V29 series smartphones in this regard. The standard Vivo V29 is equipped with a Snapdragon 778G SoC instead of the more advanced and powerful MediaTek Dimensity 8200 chipset in the Pro model. However, it's important to mention that the smartphone performs well for everyday tasks, including web browsing, streaming, navigation, and even some light gaming. Multitasking is also a breeze; the handset seamlessly switches between tasks, even with several apps running in the background.

Cameras
+
The Vivo V29 camera setup includes a 50MP primary camera coupled with an 8MP ultra-wide sensor and a 2MP depth camera. This is a similar camera setup as the V29 Pro but the latter boasts a 12MP depth sensor instead of 2MP. The reduced quality makes the portraits from the V29 slightly underwhelming. Nevertheless, it appears to be doing a better job than its closest competitor OnePlus Nord 3 5G in our camera comparison test.

Battery and charging speeds
+
The battery on the Vivo V29 is 4,600mAh, which should be more than enough to see you through the end of the day without looking for a charger. The handset scored an impressive 15 hours and 46 minutes of runtime on the PCMark battery test, while the screen-on-time we got was somewhere around seven hours, which is again noteworthy.
