vivo V29 Pro teaser reveals the most important specs

Image
Back in early March, vivo released the V27 Pro. Now, mere weeks later, the Chinese company is ready to unveil the V29 Pro. We're not sure what's going on here - normally jumping a couple of numbers forward is what successors do in vivoland, but a new release so soon is pretty weird. Regardless, vivo Philippines put up a teaser page for the upcoming V29 Pro, which is "coming soon". Thankfully, that page reveals most of the handset's main specs, so let's go through them and see how this model compares to the V27 Pro, at least on paper.

The vivo V2283A device, said to be the vivo S17, was listed with “lahaina” chipset, and while this is the codename of the Snapdragon 888 series, we can confirm it is actually the 778G+ due to the different CPU combo, as well as the GPU being Adreno 642L.

Weekly poll results: the Poco F5 gets showered with love, the F5 Pro proves less popular

Image
As one commenter in last week’s poll says, the point of the Poco F-series is to deliver flagship performance at mid-range prices. Both the F5 models do that and while it’s not quite a 2023-level flagship performance, it comes really close. Of the pair, the vanilla Poco F5 is the breakout star – over half of the voters showed interest, it’s rare to see such a positive reaction. It beat its Pro sibling by a large margin, which is quite evident in the Pro’s own poll. The criticism of the F5 – it applies to the F5 Pro too – was predictable.
