The Vivo V29 Pro is a camera powerhouse, tailor-made for content creators and photo buffs. But it's not just about the camera—it rocks a premium look without breaking the bank. The Pro version boasts a slick 6.78-inch curved AMOLED display with a buttery-smooth 120Hz refresh rate, perfect for binge-watching or scrolling through your feed. Plus, no bleeding colours at the edges, although it could use a tad more brightness in sunlight. On the camera front, the V29 Pro packs a punch with a 50MP primary, a 12MP portrait, and 8MP ultra-wide shooters on the rear, complemented by a sharp 50MP selfie camera. Expect true-to-life images without over-processing. Performance-wise, the phone houses the MediaTek Dimensity 8200 SoC, handling everyday tasks with ease, from gaming to multitasking, all without any hiccups. And with a rather decent 4600mAh battery, you'll go all day without a hitch. Oh, and say goodbye to bloatware—FunTouch 13 based on Android 13 lets you declutter your phone. If you prioritise top-notch camera capabilities, exceptional battery life, and a curved display, the Vivo V29 Pro is a must-have.

The Vivo V50 feels like a familiar sequel—similar to the Vivo V40 but with some fresh upgrades. Vivo's "if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it" approach works here. While not a radical change, the V50 surprised with its sleek design and solid improvements. The display and build feel premium, and though I feared dropping it due to the glossy/matte finish, I didn’t have to test my luck. ZEISS cameras improve photo quality, and at Rs 34,999, it’s a good deal for photography. Battery life easily lasts over a day and a half with heavy use. If you're on the Vivo V40, skip the upgrade. But if your phone’s older, the V50 is a strong choice—just don’t expect mind-blowing performance.
