Affordable smartphones that meet military durability standards.

The Y29 is Vivo's flagship model in Vietnam.

According to reports, Vietnamese consumers are spending more and more on mobile phones. The best-selling segment is gradually shifting from 4-5 million VND to 6-7 million VND. The flagship models of manufacturers are also concentrated in this price range. The high level of competition forces mobile phone companies to innovate and find their own unique path to attract users.

Instead of focusing on specifications, Vivo invested in the Y29 model with a high-capacity battery and good materials to enhance durability. The Chinese company is targeting the device at users who need to use it continuously, as a work tool.

At a price point of 6.5 million VND, the Vivo Y29 doesn't have outstanding specifications. The Snapdragon 685 processor is sufficient for social media tasks, but struggles with demanding games. The HD+ screen is also a drawback when compared to competitors from Samsung and Xiaomi in the same price range.

In return, the device boasts the largest battery in its segment at 6,500 mAh, supported by BlueVolt technology. In fact, this is still the common Li-ion type, not the recently popular Silicon-Carbon type, which is only found in flagship phones. The manufacturer has improved the structure to achieve a higher energy density per unit volume. As a result, the Vivo Y29 is slim but still ensures a higher battery capacity than its competitors.

The device has a 6,500 mAh battery in a slim and lightweight body.

High battery capacity ensures extended continuous usage time. Even with demanding tasks like playing PUBG Mobile , the Y29 can last for nearly 10 hours. Similarly, the device can sustain a full workday for delivery drivers with 7-8 hours of map navigation via 4G network.

According to the manufacturer, this battery can withstand 1,500 charge-discharge cycles while retaining 80% of its capacity. This is significantly better than the typical degradation rate of Li-ion batteries. Users also receive a 44W fast charger in the box, instead of being excluded as is the recent trend.

Durability is also a key focus for the Y29 model. The product meets IP 64 dust and water resistance standards and features a tempered glass front. Furthermore, it has passed the US military's MIL-STD-801H durability tests.

With its current features, the Vivo Y29 is a suitable device for users who need a device that can perform at high intensity. Its large, long-lasting battery and a screen with a maximum brightness of 1,000 nits allow the device to work well outdoors.

In the 6.5 million VND price range, the Galaxy A26 and Oppo A5 Pro are direct competitors to the Vivo Y29. Samsung's phone has a Full HD screen, but its battery is 1,500 mAh smaller than the Y29. The A5 Pro is more expensive and equipped with a Snapdragon 6s Gen 1 chip. However, its battery capacity is only 5,800 mAh.
