Good on you for not bashing Samsung here. I would choose Samsung actually because I seldom take portraits. But if you ask me, I think Honor 90 and the new Xiaomi 13T offers better value than V29. V29 portrait is good, but the LED is like a normal flash that other phones have too.
What vivo V29 doesn't have from Samsung A54 is stereo speakers with good quality output. Single speaker can be tolerated if it has good quality output, but vivo only have single speaker even the quality output is really bad. It really become deal breaker to buy vivo V29. Samsung A54 is much better for all rounded function.
Wow Vivo look great....but for me one I don't like about its curve screen...it's difficult to get a screen protector for curve screen as well in use for incidents touch bcz it curve. I am sure Vivo have some smart functions to prevent accidents touch
I changed from Samsung to the Vivo. Much better for very much reasons. Camera, much better. Display much better and faster. Also the heating management was one reason. I use it on my motorbike for navigation. Samsung sucks, when it is getting hot in the sun. I always change the brand in terms of best value. I prefer Oppo, Vivo, Xiaomi in the middle range against all the top brands.
Ntm, the V29 has IP68 while the A54 has IP67. It's honestly not that different imo, just wanted to point that out since you didn't say anything about the IP rating. Also, the A54 guarantees 4 OS and 5 years of security updates, while the V29 offers 2 OS and 3 years of security updates. Again, I'm just adding additional info because you didn't say anything. Not bashing one over the other. Although imo, the Pixel will always be King with its Apple levels of 8 OS updates and 9 years of security updates.
very sloppy comparison: vivo -->mono speaker... 8MP ultrawide ... no go in this price range. its cams are not overall better. night mode, ultrawide, video is better on the samsung, you only compare that portrait stuff. you never even mentioned the updates and software, big win for samsung. why you would pick the vivo is a puzzle to me. only because of the portraits?
