Vivo V29e: First impression
As noted earlier, Vivo V29e looks great in the sunlight, particularly the artistic red model. It has has unique visually appealing dual-tone design element. The left side has a glossy finish with a smooth geometrical texture in a velvet red colour. The rest of the body has a shimmery matte finish. It has an amazing job of repelling fingerprint smudges.
Besides the artistic red color, Vivo also offers V29e in the artistic blue option.

On the front, the display cascades to the left and right sides up to mid-rim. The screen is bright enough to view content outdoors.
Our review unit comes with 8GB RAM + 256GB storage. Users can extend the RAM by another 8GB, provided there is enough storage space. So far, the device has worked smoothly with no issues to complain about. But, needs to be assessed on how the device will fare in terms of graphics-heavy gaming.

The dual camera too, works great in the sunlight, but I am very keen on testing its capability in the low light and the night conditions. Do come back to DH for the full review later this week.
