Vivo X50 Pro

The Vivo X50 Pro focusses on design and a high-quality camera system — and delivers what it promises. The phone is built particularly well, and the hand-feel is exemplary. The gimbal camera works as advertised and delivers silky smooth video and quality low-light images from the primary camera. The Snapdragon 765G chipset might appear a bit meh, but most users should find the trade-off in additional battery life to be worthwhile. 

Overall, the phone is a solid daily driver for someone who isn't too fussed about top-tier performance or with the bloated Funtouch OS. 
Now, back to the rear camera - it's a quad-setup with a custom 48MP Sony IMX598 primary on the said gimbal system, then there is an 8MP ultrawide shooter that doubles as macro cam with impressive focus distance - just 2.5cm. Next comes a 13MP portrait camera with 2x optical zoom. And finally, there is an 8MP sensor behind 135mm periscopic lens for 5x optical zoom. It seems vivo spared no resources on the rear camera and it has everything that's cutting edge and then some! 
The main camera is the only one that can shoot in all resolutions and framerates, and the gimbal stabilization is always active. You can also enable electronic stabilization for the so-called Ultra Steady Mode. The X50 Pro runs on the Android 10 with Google-fied Funtouch 10.5 UX. The latest vivo interface seems to be a step in the right direction - clean and clutter-free.
