vivo’s partnership with the NBA is not just a mere formality. In fact, the smartphone company’s latest mid-ranger, the vivo V29 5G, has a Sports Mode for users to be able to capture perfect basketball moments.

The phone that was introduced to the Philippines last September 25 has a 50MP ultra-sensing camera with Aura Light 2.0 and ultra-dual stabilization (OIS+EIS).

No less than NBA legend and two-time dunk contest champion Dominique Wilkins was present during the grand launch of the phone and the partnership between vivo and the NBA.

When turned on, Sports Mode helps the device capture fast-paced action with exceptional clarity and precision.

For non-action captures, the vivo V29 5G obviously still has the improved Aura Portrait 2.0 with upgraded Night Algorithm.

This tool intelligently adjusts the color temperature and adapts to the lighting conditions of the subject and background.

The phone retails for PhP 24,999 and is available on vivo’s Philippines’ official website, e-stores such as Shopee, Lazada and TikTok, and physical stores nationwide.
