It's an 8MP f/2.2 sensor with 120-degree field of view. Basically, this camera sensor will allow you to have wider field of view to capture more on a single frame versus the primary lens.

But is it any good? For us, it is a YES! Here are our wide shots taken in Boracay a few days back.

The 8MP ultra-wide lens of the V15 Pro is not bad versus main 48MP lens. But of course, the main camera still packs more details. BUT, the degradation in quality is isn't that evident in some daylight and indoor shots.
We were also surprised that its colors and dynamic range is respectable compared to the main cam.
Often, quality of the wide lens way lesser than the primary camera. We also noticed that even if it has 120-degree field of view, barrel distortion is hardly noticeable unless you will pixel peep.
That's rare and impressive for a mid-range phone with an ultra-wide lens!

Quick thoughts
Like what we mentioned in our first camera samples article, the secondary wide camera of this phone is impressive.
Vivo V15 Pro has the ability to shoot ultra-wide shots with decent details, good colors, and pretty good dynamic range. Even low light shots are respectable. For me, only high-end phones can beat its ultra-wide lens.
