Stock Camera vs GCam Port on Poco C3
It can never happen that the default stock camera app is totally useless on a phone.
So, same is the case with the default Poco camera app on our Poco C3 phone. This camera app has some good things that can never be replaced by a GCam port.
The 960fps super slow motion on the Poco Camera and the software compatibility for all camera sensors are two important aspects of the default camera setup.
In addition, the Poco Camera also has a PRO photo 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.
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, Astrophotography, multiple video stabilization options, cinematic pan and other professional grade photo and video features.

Conclusion
Let’s summarize what is good and what is better for you.
The Poco 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 Poco C3 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 Poco camera is best.
Finally, it is not that the Google Camera port app will replace the Poco camera entirely on your Poco C3 phone. In fact, you need both these apps on different scenic situations.
