The vivo Y29 has expanded the Y series smartphone line-up with its launch in India, supporting the ‘Make in India’ initiative through manufacturing at vivo’s Greater Noida facility.
The vivo Y29 5G features a sleek design with a unique circular Dynamic Light, which enhances the camera module with vibrant lights during music playback and dynamic reminders. With a slim 8.1mm thickness and weighing 198g, it offers a lightweight and durable build.
The device is the first in its segment to provide Military Grade Resistance and SGS certification, combining a cushioning structure with IP64-rated dust and water resistance. When paired with a wave crest phone case, it becomes drop-resistant, offering added protection against impacts, the company said.
It comes with a 6.68-inch 120Hz LCD screen and 1000 nits of brightness, ensuring clear and vibrant images even in bright sunlight. TÜV Rheinland certification ensures the display is eye-safe by reducing blue light emissions during prolonged use. The dual stereo speakers offer a 300% volume boost for rich sound.
In terms of photography, the 50MP rear camera with AI Night Mode captures detailed low-light shots, while the 8MP front camera ensures sharp selfies. Scene Modes, AI Photo Enhance, AI Erase, and a rear flash further enhance photo clarity and quality.
The device is powered by the Dimensity 6300 processor, accompanied by a 5500mAh battery with 44W FlashCharge, providing up to 19.7 hours of YouTube playback, 11.3 hours of PUBG gaming, and 14.5 hours of social media usage.
It charges fully in 79 minutes and maintains 80% capacity over four years, the company said. It is available with 4GB/6GB/8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of storage. The phone runs on Funtouch OS 14 for smooth performance over 36 months.
