The Camera King: vivo X200 Ultra
If photography on the go is your thing, the vivo X200 Ultra is sure to catch your eye. This flagship smartphone proudly showcases its triple camera setup at the front, each one packing a large, high-resolution sensor:

Smooth video is optimized, as the three lenses are all fitted with optical image stabilization. For content creators, you can record in 4K at 60fps with a 10-bit color depth (log video), or even push it to 4K at 120fps. vivo has also employed special lens glass with high light transmission and infrared absorption.
One photographer's touch of class is the particular camera control button. It's not just a simple shutter key; it's a two-stage, pressure-sensitive button with focus/exposure lock, and even swipe behavior to set zoom or lens switching.
