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.
Performance and Storage
Vivo has powered this phone with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 685 processor, a popular chipset for budget smartphones. It’s a 6 nm process chipset that pairs with Adreno 610 GPU. There are 8 cores in this chipset with up to 2.8 GHz speed. The phone is able to allow multitasking and playing games at moderate to high settings.
Similarly, the phone boots on Funtouch 15 OS, which is built on Android 15. It’s the latest Android software, so buyers get a fresh user interface with new features and feel on the new OS. Existing users of Funtouch would know that more.
In terms of storage, vivo has brought the phone with 8 GB of RAM and 128/ 256 GB of internal memory. The phone comes with a shared memory slot, so if you need more storage, you can expand it with a microSD card.

The phone features a 44W FlashCharge support that quickly juices up the powerhouse of the battery. It gets a 5-year battery durability guarantee, too.
