Vivo V29e 5G is the latest mid-range smartphone powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 SoC coupled with up to 8GB of RAM and backed by a 5,000mAh battery with 44W wired fast charging support. It sports a dual rear camera unit and runs on Android 13 with FunTouch OS 13. The primary concern is whether the Vivo V29e 5G can be waterproof.

Many users plan to buy the latest Vivo V29e 5G because of their good hardware specifications and impressive camera at a budget price. But that’s not why anyone would be interested in buying this smartphone. Users have demanded waterproof smartphones from Vivo for the last two years, but the company has always failed to deliver them. Maybe this time, the Vivo V29e 5G will finally have waterproof features, which all Vivo fans are waiting for.

Vivo V29e 5G: Device Overviews:

The Vivo V29e is a sleek smartphone with a stunning 6.78-inch full-HD+ display with 2400 x 1080 pixels resolution. Notably, the screen features a swift 120Hz refresh rate, an impressive peak brightness of 1300 nits, and a 360Hz PWM dimming rate, promising a smooth and vibrant viewing experience.

Is Vivo V29e 5G a Waterproof Smartphone?

Vivo produces the best entry-level to the most enticing flagship smartphones. Vivo always came up with high-quality products and nailed the competition.

In India, every buyer currently demands an IP rating on their smartphone. However, Vivo provides no information about IP ratings in Vivo V29e 5G. Some sources leak that it has an IP rating, but the company doesn’t expose it. We have decided to arrange a water test for this device because there is no positive official statement on the IP rating. So, the obvious answer is that Vivo V29e 5G is not waterproof.

Vivo V29e 5G Waterproof Tests

In our test, the smartphone has to go through different conditions, such as:

30 Seconds dipped in Water or accidental splashes.
5 Minutes dipped in Water.
10 Minutes dipped in Water.

The waterproof test results are purely based on individual/team observation. These tests will only give an idea of whether a device is waterproof. We recommend users not try this test at home, as it might damage their device.

Conclusion

We reached the final crucial outlook after thoroughly testing the Vivo V29e 5G. As a result, it shows the device is splashproof and somewhat withstands dustproof. So, if you do not care about IP rating, you should use this smartphone. However, I must warn users that the device is not waterproof or splashproof. The device has no official IP67 or IP68 ratings, which strongly suggests it is not waterproof. Furthermore, our tests failed because the device had no active water-resistant coating or other protective gear against liquid.
