Can someone with more knowledge explain this to me...
Not that I care a lot about the front camera but on Pocophone website the front camera is advertised as 20 mp but when I use Gcam or any hardware info app, the front camera has only 5mp, why?
It's actually a 20mp sensor . either hardware info app or gcam are getting information of IR camera which is 5mp or other thing could be that as it does pixel binning (4 pixels into 1 for better low light photography) thus 20mp into 5mp

Gcam is limited to 5mp by Google.
It's because of pixel binning..
4pixel = 1 pixel
20mp=5mp

No its just limitation of camera2api
Try to use gcam and after stock camera app (take a front camera picture) you will see the difference..
If u have a doubt try other camera apps
What is the main point in camera is quality
N u r getting that . So that's it bro
N appreciate that guy who have ported this app
For his hard work
So bro don't see other things when you are getting best quality ...

I am not complaining about the Gcam port, actually that is great to have, my question comes because I have an app called Devcheck that shows info about the hardware and there too the front camera shows only 5mp.
Can Anyone suggest an hardware app that detect the front camera as a 20mp?
You can confirm the specs cameras with device info HW app.

Hi all,
Will be any chance to port the GCam from Pixel 3 for Poco F1?
Many thanks
Well we will get one but need time for xda wizards to do their magic
Pixel 3 Camera port might fix the low light photo problems etc with that ai night sight. The features are all software based and so they should work on the port might as well due to similar hardware except forthe custom Visual Core chip. Definitely looking forward to test modes like TOP SHOT, PHOTOBOOTH , NIGHT SIGHT, SUPER RES ZOOM on the port

It will always be 5mp since there is pixel binning of 5mp x 4 = 20mp

If you are disappointed, then use MIUI Stock camera. Nobody is forcing you to use Gcam mod.
If you want shutter speed, then set your exposure to 1/16 at night.

Yep. Front camera is where you can notice how bad Stock camera struggles with light exposure. Whereas there's no problem on Gcam.

You've probably not configured it probably
Excuse me? I haven’t configured it proberly?
Are you kiddin me ? Sorry I expected to use a camera app as it comes for the device... my fault. You`re right Next time i’m Gonna configure it correct before using it. Didn’t expect it was windows what we were talking about.
I’m fine if you tell me this app needs a pie rom for best usage and indeed i only tried it on Miui 10 beta so far - but on miui10 it sucks. As i installed in in more than one version.
Edit:
I don`t want to miscredit the developer of the app in general. I really appriciate his work here. I would love to use it really - but cant in daily usage. thats all i wanted to say.

How to enable mirror image on gcam?
In settings the front camera says 5 megapixels and can't be changed higher than that. Are the photos in 5 megapixels or is it just a visual bug.
Asus Zenfone 6 Google Camera APK/Gcam Mod.
Anyone with Zenfone 6 please share the compatibility with Gcam 6.1 or 6.2. This phone has near stock android and Sony IMX 586 sensor so i think it will have great gcam support. I wonder if third party camera app will be able to trigger the flip camera, for example shooting selfie with the 48mp camera using gcam.

Theoretically we shouldn't be able to shoot RAW, but from the information i've gathered we can shoot raw in stock camera app. I don't know how's the situation in 3rd party apps.

Many phones also have full support instead of level 3 and gcam works fine. Including zenfone 5z.
Without raw support, (sony phone) the gcam will not work.

Dunno much about this stuff but I downloaded the Camera2 API Probe app on my Xiaomi Mix 3 just to see what the results are, and they are the same as the ones in TechTablet's Zenfone 6 video. And GCam works perfectly fine on my Mix 3. So it should work on the Zenfone 6 as well. The question that remains is, will the camera flip when switching to selfie cam in GCam? I haven't seen anyone test GCam on this phone yet.

You won't find working 64mp on any Gcam port. You can get all lenses working and I believe a max of 48mp. That will still get you good photos. Higher megapixels doesn't always mean better pictures. I think you'd be satisfied.

I'm using Urnyx05's GCam port for some months now and am really satisfied. Still I would like to use the full resolution of the sensor to have more detail and be able to zoom in closer. Also using all the Quad Bayer features of the sensor would come in very handy. Otherwise it's just a waste of potential.

Unfortunately to use 64mp you would need to be running stock. I feel you tho, I run AOSP ROMs without Gapps, so I'm limited to just the main sensor at 16mp.

Dear Friends & Developers,
I installed it.
It works great except when I change the video res to 4K, app shuts down, whereas it works in full hd .
I was wondering if it can be fixed.
because I enjoy other functions of the program and I appreciate very much for the hard work.
I hope you fix it so that I could use your program rather than the phones default cam which takes 4K videos without any problem
all the best

Not going to happen. Only way to use stock camera is with stock firmware. If you want all working lenses on a custom rom then you will need Urnyx05 gcam.
Well, it is not what the OP asked for, but there are two free and open source Apps that can help with the Camera:
1. Open Camera - go into settings and enable Camera API V2. the quality of the pictures and videos are good.
2. FDcam - it allows you to use all the cameras, except for the depth camera. They all work.
Unfortunately, none of them get get more than 16Mpixels out of the main camera.
I have yet to see anyone post any application and hoping someone has some information.
My previous Pixel had a GCam that worked tons better than the official camera app.

I can't compare to older Pixels but I tend to agree the 6 camera is a letdown. My old Moto couldn't do Camera2 stuff or night photography but at least it gave me macro, common EV controls, and warm colors with quality jpegs. What impresses me most about Pixel 6 camera is its digital zoom sharpness.

You can capture some great shots but the processing is I feel it falls behind even the older hardware and Pixel phones. I haven't seen it personally but others have mentioned it online and on expert reviews.
No wonder Marques crowned the Pixel 5A best Smartphone Camera a few months back.
This is where the 6A can dominate over the P6 and P6 Pro since it will have the same hardware.
