Pros and Cons

vivo X70

Strengths

The Vivo X70 Pro has a premium and rather compact design that feels lightweight and easy to wield.
It features an excellent curved AMOLED screen with a fast 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ support, and impressive max brightness of up to 1000 nits.
The phone has an extensive camera setup with a gimbal-stabilized 50MP main cam, two telephotos (12MP x2 zoom and 8MP x5 periscope), and a 12MP ultra-wide cam.
The phone's battery life is excellent, scoring 123 hours of endurance rating, much more than the Pro Plus model.
The phone has a fast and reliable under-display fingerprint reader for biometric authentication.
The camera takes great still photos with impressive dynamic range, contrast, and detail, especially in good lighting conditions.

Weaknesses

The phone lacks waterproofing (IP68 rating) compared to the Pro Plus model.
It has a single speaker instead of stereo speakers, which earned a score of 'good' on loudness chart but lacked bass and mids.
The chipset is a MediaTek Dimensity C1200, which provides high-level performance but isn't quite flagship-grade, and can struggle to keep up with flagships in benchmarks.
Low-light photos from the telephoto cameras are soft and noisy, even with night mode enabled.
Selfies from the 32MP front-facing cam are disappointing, being soft and a bit noisy.
4K video quality is disappointing, with poor contrast and excessive brightness, but stabilized by the gimbal.

vivo Y29 5G

Strengths

The phone has a 6.68 inch IPS LCD display with HD Plus resolution, which is good for normal usage and outdoor visibility.
It has a 120Hz refresh rate, which provides smoothness in user experience.
The device comes with a dual speaker setup, making it suitable for entertainment purposes.
The phone has a fast charging speed of 44W, which is convenient for users who need to quickly top up their battery.

Weaknesses

The processor is not powerful enough (Qualcomm Snapdragon 632), leading to lagging performance in UI and heavy tasks.
The camera quality is disappointing, with a 50MP sensor on the back that produces average photos.
The phone does not support HDR or 4K content playback, which may be a drawback for some users.
The device has outdated features such as Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.4, and no NFC, which are important considerations in today's smartphones.

vivo X70

The Vivo X70 Pro is a premium mid-ranger that offers a unique blend of features at an affordable price. While it may not match the flagship model's specifications, this phone has its own strengths and weaknesses. In terms of design, the X70 Pro feels premium with its frosted glass-like back made of fluoride. It's lightweight and easy to wield, but lacks ingress protection. The display is a curved 6.56-inch AMOLED with a 1080p resolution and fast 120Hz refresh rate, which provides smooth swiping and scrolling. The camera setup is the phone's most impressive feature, featuring a gimbal-stabilized 50MP main cam, two telephotos (12MP x2 zoom and 8MP x5 periscope zoom), and a 12MP ultra-wide cam. Photos from the main camera are excellent with balanced color rendition, natural foliage, and good dynamic range. However, they can be softer than some competitors. The phone's performance is also commendable, thanks to its Mediatek Dimensity C1200 chipset, which provides high-level performance despite not being flagship-grade. Battery life is excellent, with the 4,450mAh battery lasting up to 123 hours in our tests. However, there are some trade-offs to consider. The phone lacks stereo speakers and waterproofing, and its audio quality lags behind competitors. Video recording capabilities also leave much to be desired, with only the main camera capable of shooting 4K resolution at 60fps. Despite these shortcomings, the Vivo X70 Pro is still a compelling option for those seeking a camera-centric mid-ranger at an affordable price. Its excellent battery life, versatile camera setup, and premium design make it worth considering for anyone looking for a good deal in this category.

vivo Y29 5G

I recently got my hands on the Vivo Y29 5G, a smartphone that promises a lot but delivers little. With a starting price of around Rs 15,000, I expected more from this device. The phone's design is decent, with a diamond-black finish and a sleek aluminum frame, but things take a turn for the worse when it comes to performance. The processor feels slow, even for basic tasks like browsing and social media, and the camera is underwhelming, producing average photos that don't impress.
