Pixel 7a Destroyer? | Vivo V29 Unboxing & Full Tour

Unboxing the Vivo V29 with a full test of that impressive camera tech, gaming performance and beyond. If your priority is having one of the best camera phones for a mid-range price, the Vivo V29 is a pro that rivals the Pixel 7a. So here's everything you need to know and my early review of this stunning smartphone.

The 50MP Quad Bayer primary camera is a pleasure to use, adapting automatically to all kinds of tricky shooting conditions. The Vivo V29 can even snap decent looking pics in near darkness thanks to the Aura Light flash. This is brighter than before with full manual control over the colour temperature.

As well as a cracking camera, this mid-range phone also boasts good performance and dependable battery life. You have the FunTouch OS so the Vivo V29 is packed with good gaming features, and the likes of Genshin Impact can run on medium detail with a smooth frame rate (just don't bump the graphics to high).

And the Vivo V29 also sports some slick design, with a choice of four different colours. SO are you tempted by this slim and light smartphone? Let us know in the comments below!

Cheers for watching this Vivo V29 tour, you're awesome! Let me know what you think of the phone below, it may not have the freshest chipset but it's a worthy mid-ranger that surprises at times

Mine is vivo V9 its been 5 years and still fire 🔥

Pro tips : Just wait for about 5-6 months if you want to get vivo products. They usually drop the price quite a bit

£450 and no stereo speakers and an old chipset (2 and a half years old to be precise). Sounds exactly like Vivo! But at least the screen and the IP68 rating are a very welcome surprise.
For those of you wondering (guess not many actually...), Vivo decided to skip 2 numbers in their V-series- V21, V23, V25, V27, V29...you can be sure the next ones are V31, V31 Pro and whatever else they come up with.

Love the battery performance of vivo and fast charging and chipset, well recommended

[sahilm]

Got myself the s23 u yesterday, thx to your reviews.

A mega beast

Strange how they downgraded the chipset from the D7200 to the SD778G. Although everything else is an upgrade

[offtheroadoli]

Just bought the Redmi Note 12+ but this also looks like a good choice with my priorities being battery life & a very good camera.

I enjoy the fact that you call us your lovlies😭❤

One thing I've noticed in your reviews is that you report that you get higher performance than I would expect in Genshin Impact. Like, on my Pixel 6 Pro I need to play it on low/medium to get rid of most of the stutters and frame dips at 30 fps. Even then, there is still shader compilation stutter and whatnot. Yet, I see your reviews on mid range phones with chipsets just below the Tensor G1 in capabilities saying the game runs fine of the default settings (medium preset). I'm just going to choc it up to your "knackered old peepers" not perceiving the frame dips while a young person like me is more sensitive to things like this.

They were doing well with the v27...they messed up again

downgraded the cpu to 778g and still no stereo speaker

Classic vivo

[Aziz.phenomenal]

The best reviewer on Youtube, very funny and informative

[skychua]

Wait till end of November to decide when to buy, if you still can, if you want to choose the best midrange android phone, love that it has 512 gig

I think only the pixels have the hand warmer feature, it will be handy this winter.

I bought Vivo V29 a few months ago. Just wanted to mention what bothered me:
1) the display curve around edge as a result the screen protector is not working well. So no need to put on the screen protector. It would just be a waste of money.
2) the reflection from the screen bothers my eyes. Fortunately I'm not a frequent user of mobile phone. So I can put up with it.
3) It doesn't have a headphone jack. So you'd need either bluetooth earbuds, wireless speakers or a USB type c to audio USB adapter for your wired head phone.
4) It doesn't have a micro SD slot. You would just need to use OTG or other ways to transmit data.

Other than the above, it's a good phone. Would I buy it if I had known the above (especially #1 and #2), I probably wouldn't.

Crazy how you can get a Pixel 6 Pro, S21 Ultra and a bunch of devices for the same price

[skychua]

Love all the colors, special as it is

[kennydinthephilippines]

I really like that phone. No updates for a long period of time that’s a killer.

[fierymoth]

I love Vivo 😊 watching on my V25 sunrise gold

[dominikdjurak]

Is the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra better especially in terms of battery life, Camera and Display? They are about the same price right now where I live
