Vivo T3x GCam port – GCam APK


I have brought you several compatible GCam Port for Vivo T3x running on Android 14 OS version in my recommended downloads list. These builds of GCam for the phone has almost all the features working.

This is a phone having midrange hardware specs and powered by Snapdragon chipset.

It comes with a dual camera setup, with a primary wide camera of 50MP, and a 2MP depth sensor based on Geo location. The stock Vivo camera captures decent photos but still the GCam port APK on Vivo T3x captures somewhat better photos in portrait mode, Night Sight mode. Try it and see the difference by yourself.

The default camera that comes on the phone and the Google Camera port has significant differences to consider which one to use and where! 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 Vivo camera?

The default camera that comes on your Vivo phone and the Google Camera port has significant differences! Here I have listed down all the similarities and/or differences between these two camera apps so that you can take a wise decision to use which camera app on what kind of lighting and scenic conditions.

Take a look at the below features that is available on Vivo T3x stock Camera:

  • 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 of using Google camera / GCam on Vivo T3x

People know the GCam app from couple of years 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 Vivo T3x:

  • With Night Sight mode you get better exposed low light images from the camera.
  • Astrophotography mode used to capture the sky and celestial bodies in the dark. Not for everyone, but worth mentioning in thia features list.
  • Multi-mode video stabilization
  • HDR+ brings much images in a condition where you have much brighter or darker regions in the scene.
  • DSLR like bokeh effect with GCam’s 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 Vivo camera app is not scalable to that of GCam.

How to enable Astro Photography mode on Vivo T3x Google Camera 7.x and Later Versions

By default the astro photography mode is enabled on GCam 7 onwards for Vivo T3x. In case you still want to change the setting, follow the below instructions to enable or disable the astrophotography mode.

  • Go to GCam Settings
  • Scroll down and go to Advanced settings
  • Then scroll down almost to the end till you get Use astrophotography Mode under Night Sight settings.

How to shoot in astrophotography mode on GCam 7.0 onwards?

Once the Astrophotography mode is enabled, there are certain conditions to be met to capture photos in that mode.

Following conditions must be met to capture in Astrophotography mode (known as cuttlefish in Google Camera ports like this):
– It can be enabled on Night Sight mode (only)
– The phone must be kept static (use a tripod or keep the phone somewhere to keep it static)
– There must be low light condition
– It may take few seconds for this mode to come up when the above conditions are met

When the display shows something like “Astrophotography on” or “Phone is steady” or “Capturing cuttlefish” while capturing photo in Night Sight mode, then most likely it is shooting in astrophotography mode otherwise not.
When I kept my phone static in front of a good light source, the Astrophotography mode did not turn on no matter how longer I waited.
So, make sure it is a low light environment.
