Nowaday phone getting better sensor + better SoC , hence it request less "Processing" and can make the photo looking more and more better , in old day , sensor not that good and lot of china company will doing heavily processing in the backgound , that make the output look overly "FAKE"
PP is like girl make up & plastic surgery , it can be look bad & good depend on the person skill , like u choose which company have your liking about the processing output , some might like xiaomi leica output , some like Oppo Hasselblad output , quite depend on personal reference instead of which company is "bad". Macam iphone is totally look "RAW" and u need spend sometime to PP the photo to look better
vivo VIVID mode straight out of camera isnt natural , it do add some contract / brightness / saturation , to look the picture POP , suitable for people who just want point , shoot , and share to social media without headache editing , but some ppl might find it's too contrast but some ppl might like , really depend on situation , because no any mode can fit all , like professional camera man also need doing testing and tuning for different scene and lightning.
Besides subject & composition , "moment" also very important , because once u miss the moment, then hardly to get 2nd shoot

Enjoy shooting

No matter what brand, apple or Samsung and rest of the android phones,
their main selling point is can take life-like, vivid photo, upload to insta IN REAL TIME
now even better than ai-enhanced feature like remove unwanted item, more filtering, ect. without the need of separate PC and software for post-processing
Capable laptop already cost thousand dollar, Lightroom/PS is piece of software that, require professional knowledge to use it, has high learning curve.
So what, do people really expect average joe to buy a phone, take photo, upload to PC and start Photoshopping?

That's for DIY or professional with DSLR, the mass need simple stuff with just touch of the slider.
