According to a Peta Pixel review:

The main camera tells two concurrent stories after you use it for a while. First, the imaging pipeline is outstanding for a phone of this calibre. Simply put, dynamic range is seriously competitive with most flagships I test these days, which is a real testament to what Vivo and Zeiss have pulled off here. Like Vivo’s flagships, the V50 handles exposed light sources and contrast variances in impressive ways.
