Cheap smartphones meet military durability standards

Vivo's flagship Y29 model in Vietnam.

According to reports, Vietnamese users are spending more and more on mobile phones. The best-selling segment has gradually shifted from 4-5 million VND to 6-7 million VND. The main 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 way to attract users.

Instead of focusing on configuration, Vivo invested in the Y29 model with a high battery capacity, along with good materials to increase durability. The Chinese company targets the device at users who need continuous use, the device is a working tool.

In the price range of 6.5 million VND, Vivo Y29 has an unremarkable configuration. The Snapdragon 685 processor is enough to handle social networking tasks, but has difficulty with heavy games. The HD+ screen is also a minus point of this model when compared to competitors from Samsung and Xiaomi in the same price range.

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

The device packs a 6,500 mAh battery in a slim and light body.

High capacity ensures long continuous usage time. Even with heavy tasks like playing PUBG Mobile , Y29 can still meet nearly 10 hours of play. Similarly, the device also maintains a full working day for shippers with 7-8 hours of opening the navigation map via 4G network.

According to the announcement, this battery can charge and discharge 1,500 cycles while still retaining 80% of its capacity. This is much better than the normal wear rate of Li-ion. Users are given a 44W fast charger in the box, instead of being cut down according to the recent trend.

Durability is also a factor invested in the Y29 model. The product meets IP 64 dust and water resistance standards, and has tempered glass on the front. In addition, it also passes the US military's durability tests, MIL-STD-801H standard.

With the current equipment, Vivo Y29 is the right device for users who need a device that can serve at high intensity. Large, durable battery and 1,000 nit maximum brightness screen help the device work well outdoors.

In the 6.5 million VND segment, Galaxy A26 or Oppo A5 Pro are direct competitors of Vivo Y29. Samsung's device has a Full HD screen, but the battery is 1,500 mAh less than Y29. A5 Pro has a higher price, equipped with Snapdragon 6s Gen 1 chip. However, the battery capacity only stops at 5,800 mAh.
