Vivo V29 Series: Rumoured Specifications

Display: Both models are expected to flaunt a 6.78-inch Curved AMOLED screen, rendering visuals at 2800×1260 pixels and smoothly transitioning at a 120Hz refresh rate.
Memory and Storage: The Pro variant is rumoured to harbour 8GB LPDDR5 RAM, paired with a spacious 512GB UFS 3.1 storage. On the flip side, the standard Vivo V29 might come packed with 12GB RAM (extendable to 20GB courtesy of Extended RAM) and 256GB storage.
Software: In the software realm, it’s anticipated that both devices will run Funtouch OS, layered over Android 13.

Camera Capabilities: Decoding the Rumours

Vivo V29 Series: Camera

Consistent with the flagship trend, both Vivo V29 models are speculated to feature a triple-camera matrix at the back.

The primary 50MP shooter, supposedly equipped with OIS and an f/1.88 aperture, is believed to be accompanied by an 8MP wide-angle lens.

The distinction arises in the tertiary lens; while the V29 could host a depth sensor, the Pro variant might up the game with a telephoto lens.

Furthermore, the Aura Light flash and a promising 50MP front camera could round off the photography suite.

With just hours left for the official reveal, these speculations paint an enticing picture of what Vivo might have in store.

To witness the culmination of rumours into reality, ensure you’re tuned in to the live event today at 12 noon.
