Expert Review
GSMArena rated the Vivo V29 4.1/5, praising the introduction of IP68 water resistance and unusually sharp, bright AMOLED display, while noting a notable drop in battery endurance compared to the V27.
VERDICT
A stylish, durable mid-ranger that brought genuine water resistance to the V-series for the first time, though buyers should expect shorter battery life than its predecessor.
