Realme C35 GCam port: Realme C35 is a budget Android phone with good camera sensor but a very different chipset wchich is Unisoc T616.
We can get the best camera performance by installing another camera app that can take advantage of the camera sensor hardware.
I am talking about the Google Camera port here. Yes, you can install several GCam port on Realme C35 which will help you capture much better photos out of a decent 50MP camera sensor.
There is no doubt that the default camera on Realme C35 phone is packed with good features and better hardware compatibility. But, still the camera app software is not capable to squeeze every bit of its sensor’s potential.
This is the main reason why you need to install Realme C35 GCam port on your phone to get that extra edge and I will surely help you getting this done.
Because of such an unpopular chipset GCam might have a limited support for this but still I have hope from some legacy versions.
From the past several days and weeks I have been playing with several GCam ports on the phone I know what works and what does not. In this article I have listed down all the best working Google Camera APKs for your Realme C35 phone.
If you are hearing about the GCam app for the first time, then you can read a bit about the same in the coming sections in this article.
Stock Camera vs GCam Port on Realme C35
It can never happen that the default stock camera app is totally useless on a phone.
So, same is the case with the default Realme camera app on our Realme C35 phone. This camera app has some good things that can never be replaced by a GCam port.
The UltraRes photo mode on the Realme Camera and the software compatibility for all camera sensors are two important aspects of the default camera setup.
The Realme Camera also has a PRO mode available for photo and Night mode that allows you to control the shutter speed, ISO, AWB etc. which will be helpful for you if you know what are these settings and how to use them.
In addition to the above, the stock camera also has a Macro mode that allows you to capture close up photos of flowers, insects, objects etc. and the Filter mode allows you to add artificial layering on the photo.
On the other hand, Google Camera’s HDR+ enhanced is the rockstar feature that creates balanced and natural looking images.
Also, the latest versions of the GCam port brings you Night Sight, Portrait features to the Realme C35 phone.
Now that you have a basic idea on what you will get by installing a GCam apk on Realme C35, let’s look at all the available APKs that really works on the phone.
GCam Port Download for Realme C35
I have individually picked many GCam ports and tested on my Realme C35 phone. It is only after this when I have populated this list of available downloads.
As of now, only the GCam 32-bit works on Realme C35. Apart from that, all GCam Go APK work pretty well on the phone.
The reason why the phone does not support normal GCam ports is because of the chipset it has, which is the Unisoc T616. No developer has ever worked to port the GCam for this chipset.
The Narzo N53 model also comes with a Unisoc chipset. You can take a look at the GCam port for Realme Narzo N53 to see if we have any other GCam ports available for that chipset.
Also, the Camera API2 on Realme C35 reports that is has LIMITED level of support which basically means this:
LIMITED
: These devices support some Camera API2 capabilities (but not all) and must use Camera HAL 3.2 or higher.

Not a single GCam port is fully compatible on Realme C35.
Having said that, it is important for you to note you may face different kinds of issues while installing a gcam or while using the app. This is where I have compiled a comprehensive list of troubleshooting guide on Google Camera port alone.

Conclusion
Let’s summarize what is good and what is better for you.
The Realme Camera has some advantage of features like the super slow motion, Pro camera mode and software compatibility for the camera sensors etc.
On the other hand the GCam port on Realme C35 phone brings a lot of good things in terms of performance and features equally but it is not compatible with all the sensors.
Having said that, if you are taking a shot in good lighting conditions, you can choose the GCam for selfies, natural scenes. You can also use GCam’s Night sight if you are taking a picture in the low light.
If you want manual control of the image or if you want a super slow motion video, then the Realme camera is best.
Finally, it is not that the Google Camera port app will replace the Realme camera entirely on your Realme C35 phone. In fact, you need both these apps on different scenic situations.
