vivo V29 5G: A Worthy Match for Content Creators

Recently, we explored the vivo V29 5G’s portrait photography capabilities, and we came away impressed by the great night portraits that it can capture thanks to its combination of Aura Light 2.0 and Smart Color Temperature adjustment.

Of course, portrait photography isn’t all there is to the vivo V29 5G as the phone also promises to be a great partner for content creators, whether it’s users who like taking videos and vlogs, or those who are into landscape and night photography.

According to vivo, the phone’s main and front cameras should deliver for these use cases. This is thanks to the two cameras being 50MP shooters with a bunch of photography and videography-focused features. Yes, even the phone’s front camera is a 50MP shooter – that’s more impressive on paper compared to other premium mid-rangers.

While great on paper, some of you may wonder if the phone does truly deliver for content creation. Well, it definitely is given its photo and video capabilities, all on top of having enough performance for your creative needs.

50MP OIS Ultra-Sensing Main Camera for Great Photos and Videos

The vivo V29 5G is a phone with a triple rear shooter setup that gives it flexibility for your photography needs. Though the highlight is no doubt the 50MP main shooter that vivo calls an OIS Ultra-Sensing camera.

For those unfamiliar, OIS means optical image stabilization which means it has a physical stabilization feature that lessens camera shake and allows for more stable videos even when moving. This is also combined with EIS or electronic image stabilization for steadier and clearer snapshots and clips. Aside from lessening camera shake, the OIS + EIS combo is also great for nighttime photography as you won’t need a tripod for a well-exposed low-light photo.

On top of its stabilization tech, the phone’s main shooter is called “ultra-sensing” as it features a 1/1.57-inch sensor with with single pixel measuring 1.0 μm in size and a size of 2.0 μm through Quad Bayer technology.

This might be hard to understand, but in layman’s terms, the main camera’s Quad Bayer tech and pixel size means it can capture more light. With this, the phone promises bright shots even at night when there’s not a lot of light to get good exposure with other phones.

With the combination of two image stabilization tech coupled with its “ultra-sensing” camera and sensor, the vivo V29 is able to take excellent shots at nighttime.

Before we get to night photography capabilities, here are sample shots from the phone taken in the daytime for reference:

As you can see, daytime photos have great quality when using the vivo V29 5G’s main camera. Even if you crop these photos, they will still retain a good amount of detail.

Meanwhile, here are some low-light photo samples taken with the phone’s Night Mode feature:

Thanks to its stabilization and Quad Bayer tech, the vivo V29 5G is able to capture low-light photos that are sharp and retain a lot of detail. Take note, these photos may seem bright, but they’re taken at spots that look dark to the naked eye. Plus, these photos are taken without a tripod, meaning the effect of the stabilization tech is noticeable.

While vivo tuned the main shooter to be great for night photography, the phone’s 50MP main shooter is also great for videos. Even when moving, videos are stable thanks to the OIS + EIS combo, all while retaining a good level of detail.

Along with these, there are also other nifty modes that the vivo V29 5G packs for budding content creators. These include the Food Mode for delectable food photos, as well as the Supermoon Mode which promises to let you capture photos of the moon with plenty of detail.

50MP HD Front Camera for Selfies and Vlogs

Many phones have main cameras with much higher megapixel counts than their front shooter counterparts. That’s not the case with the vivo V29 5G as this phone also has a 50MP selfie camera that promises to deliver quality photos in various lighting conditions.

Along with the high megapixel count, the front camera also features an f/2.0 aperture, meaning it lets in a lot of light for clear and bright selfies. This is also combined with a 92-degree field of view which has a nice balance between allowing for wider-angle shots for group selfies, all without adding distortion for single-person selfies.

Thanks to these features, the vivo V29 is able to take great selfies that are social media-ready with no need for editing. Here are some selfie samples to give you an idea of the quality that the front camera provides:

Aside from selfies, the phone’s front camera also has vlog-focused features, including electronic image stabilization for vlogs while walking. Plus, the front shooter has auto-focus capabilities, so users won’t have to worry about being out of focus while in the middle of a vlog. This is a nice feature to have, especially considering that other phones don’t have autofocus for their front cameras.

Reliable Performance For Your Content Creation Needs

The 50MP front and rear cameras aren’t the only features that make the vivo V29 5G a phone that’s fit as a content creation partner. It also has a fairly powerful Snapdragon 778G 5G SoC that, in our experience, makes it a reliable partner for everyday use and for photo and video-taking. This processor lets the phone perform fast and snappily, and you won’t need to worry about major slowdowns while taking photos and clips.

Finally, the V29 5G has a 4600mAh battery which means it should last enough for a day of use. Plus, if you need to top it up, the V29 5G has an 80W fast charging feature, enabling it to charge from 1 to 50% in just 17 minutes. With this, the phone can get hours of use with just a quick top-up.
