Poco C3 Google Camera port: I have installed many ports already on my Poco C3 phone and then I have compiled a list of best Poco C3 GCam ports for you.
In this article I will tell you about the BEST Google camera APK for your Poco C3 phone to get the best images. With this, I will also list if any config file is available for the respective gcam app.
Poco camera is good but it is still not able to create images the way the gcam app does. This is the main reason you are searching a better camera app for your phone and I will surely help you with that.
Having said that, I can assure you that the listed APKs are one of the best available ports for your Poco C3 phone.
Let’s take a look at some more details about the same.
GCam Features in comparison to Poco Camera
Obviously the default camera on our Poco C3 phone has good features but still there are some useful better features available on Google Camera.
That does not mean nothing is worthwhile on the default Poco camera app.
Let’s take a look at some or all of the similarities and differences of both these apps.
The Pro mode on Poco Camera let’s you control the shutter speed, ISO, etc. which is useful if you know how to control these parameters.
Poco camera has the 960fps super slow motion feature that cannot be missed.
By default the stock camera app is compatible with all camera sensors available on the phone but the GCam port might not be fully compatible with all camera sensors on all image modes.
Apart from these, the GCam has several features that the Poco camera does not. Such as: RAW image capture, HDR+ enhanced, Astrophotography mode etc.
Download the Google Camera port for Poco C3
I have personally tested all these GCam ports on my Poco C3 phone and also listed compatible XML config files with respect to each gcam version.
GCam port 9.2 for Poco C3 is the latest version among other compatible ports which does not work the best as compared to the other versions.
Below are the available versions of gcams for the phone:
- GCam 9.2 (Latest Version)
- I have not verified the 9.2 yet. Try this and tell me if it works.
- GCam 8.9
- GCam 8.7
- SGCam 8.7 works well on Android 11 based MIUI 12.5
- GCam 8.1
- GCam 7.4
- GCam Go

FIX for GCam issues
I have already mentioned earlier that the GCam is not fully compatible with Poco C3.
In case if you face any issues after using or while running the Google camera app, you can refer to this GCam issues and fixes post.
Conclusion
Google Camera app brings a lot of good things in terms of performance but we cannot miss some of the important things of Poco Camera app as well.
Default Poco Camera will always be fully compatible with all the camera sensors and it provides access to the highest resolution that the primary camera can capture. GCam may still capture images in let’s say 50MP or 64MP etc. but it may require some config or external libs to be installed to get this done.
With all these observations I can confidently tell you that the Google Camera port app will not replace the Poco camera entirely. In reality both the camera applications will be useful in different situations.
