vivo Y29 Arrives in the Philippines with Huge Battery and Tough Build for Just P8,999

vivo has introduced its latest budget-friendly powerhouse, the vivo Y29, designed for users who want all-day battery life without spending a fortune. Priced at only P8,999, this new smartphone packs a punch with its massive battery, durable build, and entertainment-ready features.

One of the biggest highlights of the Y29 is its impressive 6500mAh BlueVolt battery, the largest ever in vivo’s Y Series. Whether you use your phone for work, social media, or gaming, this huge battery is made to last the whole day and still have power left for the next. vivo says the battery can keep up to 80% of its capacity even after five years, giving you solid long-term use.

When it’s time to top up, you won’t wait long either. Thanks to vivo’s 44W FlashCharge, the Y29 goes from zero to 50% in just about 41 minutes. So even quick coffee breaks can give your phone a good boost.

Durability is another winning point for this model. vivo built the Y29 with a special cushioning structure inside to protect important parts from bumps and drops. It also uses SCHOTT Shield Glass for its display, which is tougher against scratches and accidental falls. The phone comes with a protective case that has airbag-like corners for extra drop safety. It even has an IP64 rating, making it resistant to dust and splashes, handy for busy days out and about.

Beyond toughness and battery life, the Y29 is designed for smooth entertainment. It comes with dual stereo speakers that can get 400% louder, so you can enjoy videos and music even in noisy places. Calls are clearer too, with boosted receiver volume. The 120Hz screen refresh rate makes scrolling and gaming feel fluid, and with up to 1000 nits brightness, the display stays clear under sunlight. To help protect your eyes, it’s certified to reduce blue light.

Under the hood, it runs on a 6nm Snapdragon 685 processor for fast performance while keeping battery use low. Buyers can pick between two storage options: 8GB RAM + 128GB storage for P8,999, or a larger 8GB RAM + 256GB storage for P10,999. Both versions support up to 8GB of extended RAM and can expand storage up to 2TB with a microSD card, plenty of space for photos, videos and apps.

The vivo Y29 also looks good in your hand, with two classy colors: Marble White for a fresh look, and Espresso Brown for something more premium.

This new model is now available at vivo stores and kiosks nationwide, and also online through the official vivo website. If you’ve been searching for an affordable phone that can keep up with a busy lifestyle and last all day, the vivo Y29 is worth checking out.
