Here’s something a lot of you already know: fancy vivo smartphones take incredible low-light portraits. But what you may not be aware of is that even the company’s cheaper midrange phones are also great for impromptu late-night and indoor photoshoots.

That’s exactly what the vivo V29e 5G is. Similar to the more expensive vivo V29 5G, this mighty smartphone also has a ring flash on the back. Yes, it’s like having a ring light always ready in your pocket, no need to carry a piece of bulky equipment.

Much like an actual ring light, this one provides 360-degree even lighting, which captures bright but not over-exposed low-light shots compared to your traditional LED flash — whether it’s a human subject, a scrumptious dinner, or sceneries when you’re strolling at night.

The interesting part is, it’s actually not the first time a vivo V-series smartphone had this. This means that, for this new generation, the technology has been much improved. The Light-Emitting area is 6.8x larger and the brightness has been increased by 60%.

But this hardware doesn’t work alone. In fact, it’s only part of a pretty complex vivo technology called Aura Light 2.0. Paired with intelligent software, the ring light works amazingly to make sure that your night portraits look bright, and well-exposed while maintaining an accurate and fair skin tone.

The difference in quality from the standard LED flash — which this device still have — is night and day. It looks much cleaner, with appealing skin tones, and balanced highlights and shadows.

It goes without saying that it also looks much better than without any flash at all. It adds more life to the image and lessens noise and grains.

Adjusting the warmth of the ring light is available on the camera app. You can slide the color temperature adjustment if you want a cooler vibe for glowing portraits, slightly warmer for better skin tones, or even warmer to capture meals in the best way possible.

Alternatively, you can live the Aura Light 2.0 setting to Auto and let the system decide the right color to use if you’re already really hungry.

Now, pair that impressive lighting with the vivo V29e 5G’s robust Portrait Mode and you’ll get more professional-looking images that look straight out of a high-end camera. The foreground separation is fairly clean, which further highlights the subjects.

That Aura Light 2.0 system works with the device’s feature-packed, no-nonsense cameras. There’s the fancy 64-megapixel main camera with a bright f/1.79 aperture, and since we already know it takes great pictures with the Aura Light 2.0, you can only imagine how well images are in good lighting., Check some of our sample shots below.

Fortunately, the vivo V29e 5G spared us from depth sensors and macro lenses and instead given us a more usable 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens.

Like the main camera, this one also takes good photos in good and challenging lighting scenarios, and also works with the Aura Light 2.0 system.
