Vivo Y29 Overview
Design and Display
Vivo Y29 comes with a refined Metallic High-Gloss Frame, which gives the phone a bold look and durability. It ships in two color options – Noble Brown and Elegant White. The phone measures 165.7 x 76.3 x 8.2 mm in dimensions. The edges are round, so the phone should be easy to hold. The back panel of the phone holds two cameras in vertical alignment with a Dynamic Light at the bottom of the camera module. The camera module is slightly raised off the surface. The 3D contoured backplate helps with a comfortable grip.
The phone features a 6.68-inch IPS LCD screen, a 720 x 1608-pixel resolution, and a 120 Hz refresh rate. The screen gets bright up to 1000 nits, which is respectable in a phone of this price category. Likewise, the phone’s screen gets its protection from a layer of Schott Glass. The fact that the phone has only an HD+ screen means it is very friendly with the battery performance. Likewise, it comes with IP64 rating for protection against dust and water.
