Editorial report

vivo Y29s 6 GB / 256 GB / International technical sheet

The vivo Y29s suits anyone looking for a 5G phone with dual SIM and expandable storage, but its main compromises are the display, RAM, and charging. This version pairs 6 GB of RAM with 256 GB of expandable storage. Overall, it trails most phones launched around the same time, while its connectivity is typical.

Its 6.74-inch IPS LCD display has 720 × 1600 px resolution, 260 ppi, a 90 Hz refresh rate, and peak brightness of 570 nits. Pixel density, refresh rate, and brightness are lower than on most phones of its time. The processor is a MediaTek Dimensity 6300, and the operating system is Android 15; its 6 GB of RAM is also less than most phones launched around the same time have. The 50 MP rear camera records video at 1080p at 30 fps. That camera resolution is typical, but the camera overall trails most phones of its time.

The 5500 mAh battery has 46 h 6 min endurance per cycle according to the European energy label, while 15 W fast charging is slower than on most phones launched around the same time. Connectivity includes 5G, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, GPS, and a 3.5 mm audio jack. With a NeoScore of 5.1 and an overall standing below most phones of its time, the Y29s is a better fit for people who prioritize 5G, dual SIM, and expandable storage than for those who put more weight on the display, camera, or charging.
