Step into the Spotlight with Studio-Level Portraits
The innovative Aura Light with new Smart Color Temperature Adjustment boasts an upgraded design in the form of a larger light ring size (15.6 mm in diameter). This empowers the rear camera with more impressive low-light and night photography capabilities, adding a flattering radiance to photo subjects anywhere, anytime. In addition, upgraded features of the front camera, such as the 50 MP AF Group Selfie and Super Group Video, ensure that every smile is perfectly immortalized within the frame.
Your Go-to Lighting Designer
With the Aura Light feature, V29 continues to push boundaries in the pursuit of excellence, while prioritizing the needs of users at the same time. Recognizing the vital role of light in capturing stunning images, the rear camera of V29 is equipped with the largest Aura Light in vivo’s history. The oversized Aura Light has a remarkable capacity to create a three-dimensional lighting effect, and ensures even light from every angle, eliminating facial shadows and dark areas. With a light-emitting area nine times larger than a standard flash, the Aura Light provides gentle and non-dazzling light akin to that of a professional studio. This exquisite lighting delicately accentuates the skin tone while artfully concealing imperfections, unveiling one’s natural beauty. Additionally, the 36% of increase in brightness as compared to its predecessor allows vivo V29 to capture shots with vivid clarity, bringing them to life with more focus and power.
V29 goes beyond enhancing visual appeal with its all-encompassing Aura Light. It also introduces the integration of Smart Color Temperature Adjustment, which enables the device to adapt to diverse environments with varying color temperatures. From dynamic nightclubs to vibrant neon-lit streets or cozy bars, V29 effortlessly adapts its color temperature to intelligently align with the environment, providing users with the expertise of a personal light designer. With just a single tap on V29, subjects in dimly lit environments are gently illuminated, allowing their unique characteristics to shine through. The result is bright, clear portraits with a captivating atmosphere that enriches every shot.

Capture Every Smile with Splendor
Experience the next level of group selfies with the enhanced 50 MP HD Camera of V29. With an expanded field of view and precise autofocus capabilities, it liberates photos from the constraints of traditional selfies, capturing more smiles effortlessly and without distortions. From group photos to videos, V29 allows users to unleash their creativity and create enchanting memories that radiate with brilliance and authenticity.
Unlock the Beauty of the Night
When it comes to exceptional night image quality, V29 is powered by an advanced 50 MP OIS Ultra-Sensing Camera. Elevating the photography experience, it extends exposure, enhances light intake, and ensures the capture of remarkably stable images. Superior image quality and truly satisfactory results can be expected, even in low-light conditions. With V29, users can relish the privilege of studio-level photography integrated seamlessly into a smartphone, all without the weight of a hefty price tag.
Additionally, V29 has the Supermoon Mode which helps stargazers capture the brilliance of night sky. To enhance the sky watching experience, the Astro Mode is a delightful addition that allows users to capture the beautiful Milky Way.
But that’s not all. For videography enthusiasts, V29 raises the bar with its advanced technology. The Ultra Stable Video feature, supported by both OIS and EIS, ensures steadier and clearer shots of various scenes. By conducting up to 1,000 stabilization computations and 10,000 stabilization movements per second, it effectively mitigates undesirable motion blur to capture images with clarity and precision. No more worries about low light, camera noise, or shaky footage. Get ready to create captivating vlogs with cinematic magic and brilliance.
One-Stop Vlog-Maker for Everyday Shots
V29 is expertly crafted to empower users in their quest for vlogging excellence and social media content creation. The Vlog Movie Creator offers a one-stop video creation experience with various built-in templates and a professional editing assistant, eliminating the need for separate editing apps.
Redefine Sophistication with Timeless Style
The colors[1] of V29 are soft and delicate. The Peak Blue is inspired by the concept of the mighty grandeur atop mountains, and its color theme is a metaphor for the spirit of climbing to the top and constantly pursuing a life with better quality. It features the Innovative 3D Magnetic Particle technique, thanks to which 15 million micron-sized magnetic particles of varying sizes and orientations result in distinct refraction paths, to create vastly different cascading gradations of light and shadow effects. The phone is adorned with delicate shimmers carefully aligned in the form of a majestic mountain range with two layers overlapping each other. As you tilt the phone, a remarkable transformation unfolds. The mountain-like silhouette shifts and sways, as if responding to the rhythm of your touch, infusing the experience with an interactive element that enchants the senses.
The color purple is often associated with fashion, royalty, imagination and passion. Inspired from the Milky Way and twinkling stars, the Starry Purple edition transcends the ordinary. The Innovative 3D Magnetic Particle technique allows the creation of a glittering purple galaxy like no other, while the play of light on the back panel ensures that it is always shimmering like the night sky with the Milky Way and twinkling stars. Hence, the back cover looks translucent yet three-dimensional, all at the same time. Moreover, with purple emerging as one of the most captivating colors of the year, the Starry Purple aligns seamlessly with prevailing fashion trends, making it a stylish addition to every fashionista’s wardrobe.
Another luxurious and elegant color is Velvet Red. As a symbol of luxury, the Velvet Red is reminiscent of aristocratic silk which is only reserved for those who pursue the best quality. Furthermore, V29 Velvet Red is made by unique Color Changing Fluorite AG Glass and nano-scale photoetching technique. With its color-changing effect under UV light, V29 Velvet Red delivers a soft touch and unique premium quality under the transition of light and shadow.
The Noble Black is also associated with excellence and elegance. Thanks to the nano-scale photoetching technique, it provides durability and stain resistance with etched shimmers.
The Clearest Display in the History of V Series
V29 series features a 120 Hz 1.5K AMOLED display and a 6.78″ 3D curved screen, delivering stunning visuals to users. With an impressive resolution of 1.5K and a super-high pixel density of 452 PPI, every detail comes to life with astonishing precision. Users will be immersed in a captivating visual experience as V29 showcases 1.07 billion colors and a DCI-P3 cinema-grade color gamut. In addition, V29 prioritizes eye health and has received triple SGS professional-grade eye protection certifications, underscoring our commitment to visual well-being.
Delivering Unparalleled Performance
V29 is designed to provide a smooth and powerful user experience. It features a Qualcomm Snapdragon® 778G mobile platform, ensuring excellent performance and seamless 5G connectivity. With its Memory Booster (12 GB RAM + 8 GB Extended RAM[2]), the device offers ample storage and strong support for the operating system. V29 also includes an Ultra Large VC Bionic Cooling System, which enables the device to unleash optimal performance in various scenarios, delivering an immersive experience – whether during intense gaming sessions or captivating cinematic experiences. Additionally, the updated 80W FlashCharge[3] and 4600 mAh (TYP) Battery allow for fast and safe charging, allowing the phone to be charged from 1% to 50% in just 18 minutes[4] and guaranteeing reliable and long-lasting use.
Besides, V29 sets a high standard for remarkable durability with its IP68[5] rating, ensuring exceptional protection against dust and water[6].

In over 60 controlled laboratory reliability tests, V29 demonstrates exceptional performance, allowing it to accompany users through rain or shine, ensuring a long-lasting, worry-free user experience.
Overall, with its impressive specifications and features, V29 provides a convincing and rational choice for users seeking a high-performance smartphone.

MEXC’s strategic approach to listings paid off, with the top 10 tokens achieving an average all-time high return of 832.33%.
