Great surprise in camera performance from Vivo, way to get things exciting. Even though colors and contrast are quite bad, I guess mostly to cheap optics, with weak corners and feel even decentered, the processing surpasses x90 line - almost free of mushy like detail, sharp like classic bayer.
I wish though that Vivo could get a hold of their color science better, as it feels warm compared to samsung/sony/ maybe even oppo. They could even bring a better colors, contrast forward instead of giving like raw colors.
That being said, I wonder if processing or usage of additional sensors can save a poor raw color performance from a small weak sensor, looking at how my phone shoot, they are the same color wise, so I think better colors shouldn't be a problem even in raw, which I felt a lot in vivo phone.
Not that its needed in this phone, but they should be capable of at least doing this in jpegs.
Or is it that they need some named brand to calibrate it for them? Feels like no easy thing if even Huawei tend to shoot colors randomly sometimes and they are like top 1 in some rankings.

Not a bad phone actually. Missing basic stuff that would have made it a better deal (SD slot, 3.5 jack, maybe AF in the ultrawide)... I think if it ever drops close to 300 USD it might be a good deal.

Terrible battery life.
No SD card
No audio jack.
Another overpriced trash from vivo.
