10+ Hours of Non-stop Casual Gaming with the vivo Y29’s 6500mAh BlueVolt Battery

The vivo Y29 is packed with a long-lasting 6500mAh BlueVolt battery. This is much higher than many of its competitors in its price range.

With this massive battery, the vivo Y29 can last 10+ hours of non-stop casual gaming on a single charge! It can run Mobile Legends (ML) for a little over 10 hours and Call of Duty Mobile (CODM) for about 9.5 hours.

 

vivo Y29 Battery and Charging Technologies

The 6500mAh BlueVolt battery of the vivo Y29 uses the new Silicon-Carbon anode technology. It results in more compact batteries for handheld electronic devices. That means more battery capacity in a slightly smaller battery volume.

Aside from the long-lasting battery, the vivo Y29 also comes with 44W vivo FlashCharge technology. When you finally deplete the phone’s battery, there’s a fast-charger ready to recharge to 100% in just 90 minutes!

 

vivo Y29 Gaming Performance

Game	Framerate
ML	59.93 fps
CODM	39.90 fps
PUBG	39.75 fps

The vivo Y29 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 685 processor with 8GB of physical RAM and up to 8GB of extended RAM. This is a proven chipset for casual gaming.

In my tests, it runs Mobile Legends in high graphics quality by default with a smooth and stable performance. Increasing the graphics quality to Ultra results in a few frame drops during team fights, but still a smooth overall gaming experience.

Meanwhile, Call of Duty, which is more resource-intensive, runs at medium graphics quality by default. I prefer playing CODM battle royale at a higher framerate and changing its graphics quality to low results in an average framerate of 39.9 FPS.

 

vivo Y29 Display and Stereo Speakers

To complete the gaming experience, the vivo Y29 has a 6.68-inch HD+ display with 120Hz of maximum screen refresh rate. It’s large and bright for gaming and renders smooth visuals for the user interface.

Then there’s its stereo loudspeakers which produces spatial audio for CODM at up to 400% volume! It’s loud enough so you can play without earphones and still hear enemies sneaking up behind you.

 

vivo Y29’s Durability and AI Features

Aside from its gaming and battery features, the vivo Y29 also has durability certifications and AI capabilities.

It has IP64 dust & water resistance, MIL-STD 810H military-grade shock resistance, and SGS 5-Star drop resistance for the overall unit.

For AI or artificial intelligence, the vivo Y29 supports Circle to Search with Google, AI Photo Enhance, and AI Erase. Both AI image editing features can be easily accessed in the Albums and works pretty well in erasing unwanted objects and enhancing blurry images.
