Realme 7 GCam port: Realme 7 is a midrange Android phone with a very good camera quality in terms of resolution and software features. We can still get some more camera performance by installing another camera app that fully 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 7 which will help you capture much better photos out of a decent 64MP Sony camera sensor.
Importantly the Mediatek Helio G95 chipset that powers the software processing of the camera app is fully capable of running any GCam port with all of its features.
There is no doubt that the default camera on Realme 7 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 7 GCam port on your phone to get that extra edge and I will surely help you getting this done.
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 7 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 7
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 7 phone. This camera app has some good things that can never be replaced by a GCam port.
The UltraRes photo mode captures images at 64MP resolution on the Realme Camera and the software compatibility for all camera sensors are two important aspects of the default camera software application.
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, Astrophotography, multiple video stabilization options, cinematic pan and other professional grade photo and video features.
Now that you have a basic idea on what you will get by installing a GCam apk on Realme 7, let’s look at all the available APKs that really works on the phone.

The GCam port version v9.2 is in early stage of development and might not work fully with Realme 7 phone. As oof now I don’t have the phone otherwise I would have added an accurate data on this!
The GCam 8.7 works on several Android 12 based Realme 7 phones.
GCam port v8.3 works pretty well on the phone with the given xml config file.
We have two different versions of 8.2 working on the phone. Both these ports support xml config and are from different developers.
The GCam v8.1 does not have a xml config file support but it works well on Realme 7.
GCam 7.4 on Realme 7 worked well during the Android 10 days of initial release. This version has a xml config support.
This is an older version of GCam port which worked well on the phone during the Android 10 time. If no other ports work from the above list, then you can consider trying this one.

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 7 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 7 phone. In fact, you need both these apps on different scenic situations.
