Highlights Initial glance reveals a visually stunning 6.78-inch curved AMOLED display with superb color output and brightness. First look at photography promises detailed 64MP OIS shots in varied lighting conditions and a robust 50MP selfie camera. Preliminary performance checks suggest the Snapdragon 695 SoC provides satisfactory daily operation, especially for users not running heavy-duty applications. In a market saturated with smartphones that often appear indistinguishable from each other, Vivo seeks to differentiate its new offering, the V29e. This device seems to be an all-around contender, boasting several features that promise an impressive user experience. From an initial look at its display and design to its performance metrics, we break down our first impressions for you. Vivo V29e: Key Specs Vivo V29e: Key Specs Processor: Snapdragon 695 SoC RAM/Storage: Two variants - 8GB + 128GB, 8GB + 256GB Display: 6.78-inch curved AMOLED with 120Hz refresh rate Camera: Dual rear - 64MP main sensor with OIS, 8MP ultra-wide, Front - 50MP Battery: 5,000mAh with 44W fast charging Software: FunTouchOS based on Android 13 Design: 3D curved display, centrally positioned punch-hole cutout Unboxing The unboxing experience of the Vivo V29e offers a delightful start. Beneath the phone compartment, you'll find a charging brick and cable. A sleeve tucked below the device contains a clear silicone case, relevant paperwork, and a silver sim ejector tool—everything you'd need to get started, neatly packed and readily accessible. Design Vivo V29e: Design The design of the Vivo V29e exudes a plush aesthetic with a matte finish across its glass back. The Artistic Blue variant we had our hands on features a unique Glossy Matte Splicing texture that creates a diamond pattern on the rear. At just 7.57mm in thickness and weighing a mere 180g, the device feels comfortable to hold. The gold accents around the camera elevate the phone's overall aesthetic. Stay tuned for a full breakdown of the design in our upcoming review. Display Vivo V29e: Display The device distinguishes itself with its curved display. Even at first glance, the color reproduction appears rich, accompanied by satisfying brightness levels and an overall dynamic range. The 6.78-inch AMOLED panel with FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate adds to the phone's premium feel. We'll dive deeper into the display's performance in our comprehensive review. Camera Vivo V29e: Camera The 64MP OIS primary camera appears promising, delivering detailed shots in good lighting and holding its own in low light. The ultra-wide camera is decent, although it exhibited some discrepancies in colour temperature compared to the primary sensor. The 50MP selfie camera also stands out in its segment, offering good focusing and facial detailing. Detailed camera evaluations are coming soon. Vivo V29e Camera Shots Performance Under the hood, the device runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 SoC. While there are better chipsets at the same price point, the Vivo V29e's initial performance seems satisfactory for everyday use. With 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, the device should serve the needs of users not running heavy-duty applications. A full performance review is on its way. Additional Features The device comes with a single speaker on the bottom, delivering satisfactory sound, although a dual-speaker setup would have been preferable. The fingerprint sensor seems responsive at first glance. On the software front, the device comes with FuntouchOS 13 based on Android 13. Despite some bloatware, the interface is fluid and user-friendly. Battery Vivo V29e: Battery Despite its slim profile, the Vivo V29e houses a remarkable 5,000mAh battery. While the 44W charging technology isn't the fastest out there, the device seems to hold up well on a single charge for now. A more in-depth battery review will follow soon. Conclusion: Anticipating the Full Picture The Vivo V29e seems like a promising device on all fronts, from its elegant design and vivid display to its reasonable performance and feature set. However, these are just preliminary thoughts based on an initial hands-on experience. For a detailed understanding of how this smartphone measures up in everyday scenarios, stay tuned for the full review.
