- May experience more battery drain with heavy use
Display Comparison
The Motorola Edge 40 Neo boasts a significantly brighter display, reaching a measured 1073 nits. This is a substantial advantage for outdoor visibility, especially in direct sunlight. While the Y29s display specs are not provided, the Edge 40 Neo’s brightness level suggests a superior viewing experience in challenging lighting conditions. The lack of LTPO technology on either device means refresh rate scaling isn’t as efficient as on flagship models, but the Edge 40 Neo’s higher peak brightness is a clear differentiator.
Camera Comparison
The context data for both devices is limited regarding camera specifics. However, the Edge 40 Neo’s inclusion of 'Photo / Video' suggests a more comprehensive camera system. Without sensor size or aperture information, it’s difficult to make a definitive judgment. It’s reasonable to assume the Edge 40 Neo, positioned as a slightly more premium device, will offer better image processing and potentially optical image stabilization (OIS), features not explicitly mentioned for the Y29s. We'd advise caution regarding any 2MP macro cameras on either device, as their utility is often limited.
Performance
Both phones utilize MediaTek Dimensity chipsets fabricated on a 6nm process, but the Edge 40 Neo’s Dimensity 7030 features a more powerful CPU configuration with 2x2.5 GHz Cortex-A78 cores compared to the Y29s’ 2x2.4 GHz Cortex-A76 cores. This translates to a noticeable performance edge for the Edge 40 Neo in CPU-intensive tasks and gaming. While both use Cortex-A55 efficiency cores at 2.0 GHz, the architectural advantage of the A78 cores in the Edge 40 Neo provides a smoother, more responsive user experience. The Y29s will handle everyday tasks adequately, but the Edge 40 Neo is better equipped for demanding applications.
Battery Life
The vivo Y29s dominates in battery endurance with a staggering 46:06h rating, indicating exceptional longevity. The Motorola Edge 40 Neo, with an 80h endurance rating (and a 10:28h active use score), falls significantly behind. However, the Edge 40 Neo compensates with 68W wired charging, capable of reaching 50% charge in just 15 minutes. The Y29s is limited to 15W charging, meaning a full charge will take considerably longer. This creates a trade-off: the Y29s offers days of use, while the Edge 40 Neo offers quick top-ups when needed.
Buying Guide
Buy the vivo Y29s if you need a phone that can reliably last through two full days of moderate use, and charging speed isn't a primary concern. This phone is perfect for travelers, commuters, or anyone who dislikes frequent charging. Buy the Motorola Edge 40 Neo if you prefer a more responsive experience with a brighter screen, and you value the convenience of incredibly fast 68W charging, even if it means charging more often.
