Glad you mention tech details like the bitrate or the widevine lvl so we tech enthusiasts can make sure it's worth it or not. Most youtubers don't bother and they glorify Chinese brands without telling these things to their audience, the viewers end up losing when they buy the device and discover it's not as great as it looked
I try to cover what I would want to know if I bought it. I would hate to find out the audio bitrate is low or L3 widevine etc. Others skip it because they aren't very technical or want to keep the brands happy and review units rolling.
A very nice offering from Vivo! The 778g chipset is a solid cool running chip for sure👍. But the big let downs are the single mediocre speaker and the not so great 8 mp ultra wide! Totally agree Chris this definitely should be a step down in price! Considering what's on offer at 500 euros in this segment!
Performance is good but the 8MP again and single loudspeaker is a shame. But very nice front facing camera. Even beats some flagships *cough* Xiaomi flagships with 1080p front cameras.
@@Techtablets Indeed! Which doesn't make any sense at all! Especially when we are talking about over a thousand dollar phones, like the Xiaomi 13 ultra!
I still have a vivo v19 with a host of others and it runs well.... Good review. I've been looking for a good vivo successor so i can easily move by files to the new one.
been loving your reviews so much! Very honest and detailed. I love how you don't go off the aura light or how top tier the camera is, most reviewer does that too much. I'm torn between the Honor 90 and this Vivo v29. I'm curious to know which one do you is better to get? One thing I doubt about v29 is that for some reason lots feature has been cut.
For aesthetics, it's a no brainer for me... I'm eyeing for Xiaomi phones, yet this model is a head turner and a stunner by the looks of it... This indeed is a camera-centric phone...
Decent phone. I would place a mid-range at 400€ tops...but my opinion doesn't count 😅 I don't understand why Vivo placed that nonsense Ultra wide camera, considering it's so dumbed down. Audio hopefully could be fixed, but I don't understand why devs don't check the sound quality prior the release of the phone, because Xiaomi used to do this way before Vivo.
Still got the Realme X2 Pro after your review of it.. looking for an successor.. but didnt found it yet.. This Vivo inst much better than the X2 pro... hopefully Samsung are doing something with the slow charging speeds.. got addicted to that with the Realme X2 pro ;-)
Yes Realme is winner of the "best among the rest" group. Solid VFM. Good SOCs, decent cameras, UI is palatable and mostly stable. Last point is a big deal in budget and mid premium segment cause UIs start crashing and stutturing after 1 years in many other brands. My go to suggestion is realme GT series released few months earlier as they drop in prices by then
Hmmm there's a Motorola Edge 30 ultra on discount for about the same price , tough choice (not really) :D also 14:05 , 185kg is a lot for a phone, thank you for the review :)
Hey mate, which is better in terms of camera and picture quality, the vivo V29 or vivo V30? Im torn between choosing between these two, however the v29 only cost $280 usd in my country, while V30 costs $420.
I beg to disagree the phone is amazing especially the screen it really is in a flagship level and the aura light is so unique yet so useful in so many ways I'm actually using it now
I think this is a IP68 Water and Dust resistant too. But in this price range there is alot of options to find yeah in terms of design this definitely wins among others but lacking of stereo speakers though is kinda disappointing Vivo also cut some features that the other have like the color changing back, but tbh this is so good phone if you into a selfie or love to shoot a video using the selfie because it supports 4k like you can use it on your Tiktok. 14:52
Because they stopped getting decent views low interest but don't worry I'll be back with a few more with the iPhone 15 Pro Max I bought arriving tomorrow. One more go if the next set of camera comparisons do bad I'll probably give up on them as they are so much work if people don't watch them.
@@Techtablets I really understand and appreciate your hard work. I hope your plans with the iPhone 15 pro max go well. I will always look forward to your work. Cheers!
@@fhwolthuis the thing is, on this phone no sound comes out of ear speaker, only bottom, ear speaker are very small for just to hear calls, oh and Oppo Find X3 is different phone, ViVo makes Mono down speaker phones on budget or high budget phones except flag ship monster Vivo phones
How much is €500 in USA and it kind of looks like the new Huawei phone as well would that be running 5G or 5G Plus global phone That's it also have a RF blaster for a remote control access
brother which is better v27 or v27 pro . The concern is i want 256gb storage shld i go for v27 or comprise space for v27 pro or go with v29 is offering 8gb/256gb at the same prics point
As much as I love the SD778G... its 2023. Support for this chipset is counting down sooner and there are many other newer options these days. The newer gen SD7 series and even SD4 series are comparably better and more modern. Apps and games system requirements are growing fast and the 778G is just not going to cut it long term anymore. I would be perfectly fine if phones like this are priced lower to compensate but the 778G phones are still priced at a "premium" (relative to other midrangers).
Vivo makes awesome upper midrange to flagship phones, feature packed..... But are they unnecessarily expensive or what, geez 😂😂😂 I'm yet to find any good Vivo phone not senselessly overpriced 😂😂😂
@@Techtablets other than chipset, the main camera sensor too. The screen is just miniscule of an upgrade imho. Other than it seems build quality & speaker are the same.
@@Techtablets This mega corp is funny they all have almost the same design this year. V29, Oppo Reno 10, Realme 11 Pro. Plastic curved frame, massive curved screen. The only thing missing is realme using plastic/vegan leather instead of glass.
@@Techtabletsthanks for reply Which phone i have to buy vivo 29 or honor 90 plzz suggest I click mainly in party at ni8 and indoors and play free fire and cod only for 1 hr
How can you say it "Improved" with a downgraded 6 nanometer old chip, same mono speaker and same camera setup.You should be careful about your misleading titles.
Who said this as its has SD 778G processor it's SD 695 dude.and 50MP selfie camera just looks like ghost.battery just whack....plz make loyal video if you really gonna make this.otherwise just stay away.
😂😂😂 no way...! I'd rather go for honor 90 5g/ poco f5 /f5 pro or Google Pixel 7/7a than this. Waste of money kung di marunong tumingin o magcompare ang consumer ng mga specs. Mabubudol sila talaga. Maygad.
