Vivo Y29 5G: Should You Buy?
The Y29 5G has been positioned in a weird segment, where the base model with 4GB RAM could still be considered solely for its battery, but the higher variants are going against the likes of Lava Blaze Duo 5G, CMF Phone 1, and more devices, all of which sport better processors and displays but lack in the battery department in front of Vivo Y29 5G.
It seems like battery is the USP of the Vivo handset and if that’s a priority for you as well, the 4GB RAM model is worth considering but apart from that, there are several other options in the market from other brands which prove to be superior.
