The Vivo V series phones are perfect examples of how good-looking design can overshadow not-so-good specs. The smartphones in the lineup, especially the recent Vivo V29, combine upper midrange specs with flagship design to offer a balanced experience. They can also be said to be driving Vivo’s popularity outside China.
While was V29 was launched in the global market just some time back, Vivo is now bringing another visually pleasing smartphone to the market— the Vivo V29e. The handset is slated to launch in India on August 28, which is just a few days away. Ahead of the release, we’ve gathered all the details about the Vivo V29e in this post. Let’s get to it.
Design and Display
Vivo V series phones may not have the best hardware for the price, but their design is a sight to behold. Take the upcoming Vivo V29 for example. The handset features a curved display on the front and a rectangular camera module on the back. Vivo has carefully placed a ring LED flash below the two camera sensors. The company has also used 3D magnetic particles that underwent a very precise manufacturing process to create a pattern on the back.
Although the Vivo V29e takes a different approach to design, it is still visually appealing. The handset has a curved display, and the back features two separate camera rings. There is no “Aura Light” on the V29e. For those who are not aware, the “Aura Light” is the 15.6mm LED circle on the regular V29 that promises even illumination for portrait shots. What is interesting is that the back of the Vivo V29e changes color, which is something we have seen on Vivo V27 series phones and even earlier models.
The Vivo V29e is coming with a 6.78-inch AMOLED display that has FHD+ resolution, a fast 120Hz refresh rate, and a brightness of up to 1,300 nits. It is reported to get a precise 360Hz PWM dimming technology and an impressive 93.3 percent screen-to-body ratio. The handset will also be slim, measuring just 7.57mm thick and weighing 180.5 grams. Vivo claims that it will be the slimmest curved-edge display phone in its price range.
Vivo has confirmed the V29e will be available in Artistic Blue and Artistic Red (with color-changing back) options.
Other Specifications
Vivo V29e is a mid-range smartphone with decent specifications. The main camera should have a 64MP sensor and OIS, similar to the V29 Lite. There may also be an 8MP ultra-wide snapper. The phone promises impressive night portrait shots and will also have a new India-exclusive wedding-style portrait photography feature. On the front, the device will be equipped with an eye-autofocus-enabled 50-megapixel selfie snapper.
According to a Geekbench listing, the Vivo V29e may have the Snapdragon 480 chipset, but some reports say it might have a Dimensity 7000-series chip. The V29 has the Snapdragon 778G, and the V29 Lite has the Snapdragon 695. This could mean that the V29e is the slowest of the three phones.
No matter which chipset the V29e has, it is expected to have 8-12GB of RAM and 128-256GB of storage. It is also expected to have a 4,600mAh battery with 80W fast charging, like the V29. The V29 Lite has a larger 5,000mAh battery with 44W fast charging. On the software front, the Vivo V29e could run Android 13 out of the box with FuntouchOS skin on top.
Expected Pricing
Vivo has confirmed that the Vivo V29e will be priced between Rs 25,000 (~$300) and Rs 30,000 (~$360). It will be the most affordable phone in the V29 series to date. The standard Vivo V29 is expected to have a price tag exceeding Rs. 30,000 in India. As for the already available Vivo V29 Lite, it’s priced at around 360 EUR (approximately 32,000 INR), but the price may vary from region to region.
