In a previous article, we talked about what vivo’s Aura Light 2.0 is. For those who may have missed it, it’s a ring light built beneath the vivo V29’s rear cameras. It’s designed to provide more light than a typical flash, and it’s engineered to provide soft lights and minimize shadows to capture all angles. You can even adjust the brightness of the Aura Light 2.0 with an onscreen slider, which is actually pretty neat.
So, if you don’t have the vivo V29 on your hands right now and you’re trying to imagine how to use it. Don’t worry. We got you covered.
