The Vivo V29 Pro is official and although it looks almost identical to the V29, it packs a few nice upgrades. But before we examine all that, let’s do a quick unboxing.
The phone comes with a cable, a case and an 80W charger which isn’t bad for a mid-ranger.
As far as camera lens placement goes, the Pro looks identical to the V29 from the rear. But while the vanilla packs a 2MP depth sensor, the Pro adds a 2x 50mm zoom camera aimed at portraits.The other key improvement is the Dimensity 8200 chip – a 4nm unit with higher graphics power than the 6nm Snapdragon 778G inside the V29.
No changes up front – the V29 Pro has a beautiful 6.78-inch 120Hz AMOLED with a resolution of 1260x2800px and a 1,300 nits peak brightness. Beautiful panels all around.
The 2x camera reports itself as a 49mm unit, making it the perfect focal length for portraits of people and pets, and a great focal length for other everyday scenes.
Used with the V29 Pro’s Aura Light adjustable LED, you can take some stunning portraits in low light.
We’ve taken a few impromptu shots of the office to give you an idea of what to expect. Note that each one is over 7MB in size, which is a bit ridiculous. We’ll dig deep in our full review.
