Stock Camera vs GCam on iQOO Neo 9 Pro

The default camera app that comes on the phone and the Google Camera port has significant differences to consider which one to use! To be able to take a wise decision on different occasions, I will list down all the similarities and/or differences between these two camera apps.

Let’s have a look at the below detailed section so that you can understand things in a better way.

What’s better on the iQOO camera?

Well, the default camera app that comes on the phone is equally good and provides several features that the GCam does not have.

Just to tell you, the camera is more or less similar as the stock camera.

Let’s have a look at the below features that is available on iQOO Neo 9 Pro’s default Camera but not on GCam:

• Pro mode on the the stock camera app is available for photo as well as video mode. In addition, it also has a pro sport mode that is capable of speed moving images or videos.
  • This provides common controls such as Shutter speed, ISO control etc. but not like the way the TRUE pro level features that comes on MIUI camera.
• Better compatibility with all camera sensors
• Allows to capture in highest resolution each sensor supports such as 50MP, 64MP etc.
• Separate Astro mode, Ultra HD document scanning mode, super moon mode etc.

Advantages on Google camera / GCam on iQOO Neo 9 Pro

People know the GCam app several years from now since when it had the HDR+. And then the camera app has evolved significantly.

Below are some of the extra features that you can expect to enhance your existing camera setup on the iQOO Neo 9 Pro:

• Night Sight mode that gets you better exposed images in low light.
• Astrophotography mode used to capture the sky and celestial bodies in the dark. Not for everyone, but worth mentioning in this features list.
• Multi-mode video stabilization
• HDR+ captures a natural looking image in a condition where you have much brighter or darker regions in the scene.
• DSLR like bokeh effect in the portrait mode.
• RAW image capture so that it can be edited in the post
• GCam in most cases captures natural looking pictures

NOTE: Even if it has so many good features, the color reproduction of the iQOO camera app is not scalable to that of GCam.

Disadvantages of GCam

• Finding the right gcam port for iQOO Neo 9 Pro is neither a straight forward task nor easy
• Not all compatible mods available are specifically tuned for the iQOO Neo 9 Pro. It is possible that some or other features of GCam might be working might not be working as intended.
• The stock camera apps has a pro mode, which does not exist on Google Camera mod.
• Sometimes not all cameras available to use.
• May require advanced settings to use the high resolution mode on the primary camera.

Conclusion

Of course GCam is good but that does not mean the iQOO camera is bad. GCam provides better image quality, it has several features of its own which out performs the stock camera app.

But iQOO’s stock camera also has some good features which cannot be overlooked such as the Pro features, Vlogging features, and better hardware compatibility.

Summarizing it all, GCam will not replace the iQOO camera rather both the camera apps can be installed on the same phone and you can use each app for which it better suits to your needs.

New features and updates of the GCam APK keep coming, hence there could be many versions of the GCam ports available for the iQOO Neo 9 Pro today and in future. This page will always list all the compatible Google Camera versions for the phone.
