The Vivo Y29 5G is a new Android smartphone offering modern cellular connectivity and dynamic lighting. Thanks to its IP certification, the phone should be able to withstand challenging environmental conditions without being damaged immediately.

The Vivo Y29 5G is a new smartphone released in India (at least for now) with a starting price of around $165. Various storage and memory options are available: the device can be equipped with 4, 6 or 8 GB of LPDDR4X RAM, and 128 or 256 GB of internal eMMC 5.1 storage, expandable by up to one terabyte. However, since there are only two card slots on board, users will have to choose between storage expansion and a dual-SIM setup. The Vivo Y29 5G is capable of 5G connectivity but lacks support for some cellular frequencies, such as the LTE band 20 commonly used in Europe. 

Measuring 165.8 x 76.1 x 8.1 mm (6.53 x 3.00 x 0.32 in), the smartphone weighs 198 g (0.44 lb) and features a 6.68-inch display with a resolution of 1,608 x 720. The screen supports refresh rates of up to 120 Hz, allowing for highly fluid visuals. The company has opted to use a MediaTek Dimensity 6300 SoC and a 5,500 mAh battery, capable of charging at up to 44 watts.

The Vivo Y29 5G boasts a 50 MP main shooter and an 8 MP front camera. There is a multicolour ring light beside the rear cameras with various functions, such as alerting users to notifications. The device sports a fingerprint scanner on the side, ships with the Android 14-based Funtouch OS 14 and also offers IP64 certification. Vivo hasn’t provided any further information concerning the phone’s availability in other regions.
