vivo V29 and V29 Pro launching in India on October 4


vivo has started teasing the launch of V29 series smartphones, the company’s next phones in the V series in India, after the V29 was introduced over a month back.

Even though the teaser just says coming soon, the company has mentioned “Stay Tuned till We Meet on October 4”  confirming the launch date of the phone  in India.

vivo has also confirmed that the V29 Pro will use the first-ever 2x pro portrait camera with 12MP Sony IMX663 sensor for portraits with flawless edge detection & stunning background bokeh. The V29 Pro will weigh 188g, confirmed the company.

Since the vivo S17 was launched as V29 for the global markets, the S17 Pro should launch as V29 Pro. These share similar display, design, front camera and the battery, but the Pro model is powered by MediaTek Dimensity 8200 SoC, features a 50MP rear camera with Sony IMX766V sensor and 12MP 2x telephoto portrait camera.
