The time has come to compare the potential of the GCam with the performance of the stock room of POCO F2 Pro. In natural lighting conditions, the comparison is a clear advantage of the shots obtained by GCam, giving more real shades and above all the details of the framed subject are better defined. Suffice it to see for example the photo of the flower where the orange is warmer and above all the small spots on the petal are perceptible. Even in the case of lilac flowers, it is possible to note how the GCam has succeeded better in the enterprise, while the stock room seems to have gone into confusion, returning a sort of pastel and confused colors. In the panoramic photo the results seem to be rather similar, but zooming the image you can notice the greater richness of details and sharpness in favor of the GCam.

Analyzing the shots taken in macro mode, the differences between the two camera apps become much thinner, although it is possible to see a better management of contrasts and lights when using the GCam. For example, on the photo with the white flower, in the case of shooting with a stock camera, a more "flattened" image appears, as well as in the image of the coins, it is possible to appreciate a greater depth of colors and reliefs always in favor of the GCam.

In the case of a selfie shot, the problems of the proprietary software come out all, as the skin tone is not realistic, always presenting a "ceramic" effect. The cropping in case of portrait mode is appreciable on both software, but the advantage of the GCam lies precisely in the best processing of the whole image framework, as well as the framed subject. In the case of the stock camera, in fact, elements are often obtained in the distance "burnt" by the high lights as well as a slight photographic noise. Where instead the stock camera works best is in the case of night selfies, as the virtual flash used on GCam is too high thus returning a "flat" effect to the framed subject. It should be noted, however, that GCam also manages to capture the details of the surrounding environment in the case of night selfies, while the stock camera captures only the subject.

In low light conditions the results appear to differ by poco from the two camera applications, but as already mentioned for the initial photos, by zooming in on the details it is possible to see a better definition and sharpness in favor of the GCam, which in the case of the photo to the library, for example, manages to capture the grain of the wood while in the case of the photo of the Lego character, you can appreciate a greater depth of field, white balance and general sharpness as well as realism in colors.

Finally we analyze the shots taken at night, where the difference in some photos is truly abysmal to the disadvantage of POCO F2 Pro. In fact, we definitely find a wealth of details in the photos obtained with the GCam, as well as an absence of digital noise but in some cases the photographer in you could make a difference. In fact, in the last two photos proposed, I tried to take the photo in PRO mode and then manually by acting on ISO and shutter speeds and the result was that ... the winner is the stock camera, which succeeds in long-exposure shots at better equalize all the chromatic shades. For example, in the shot at the house, the detachment that the stock room returns compared to the GCam is impressive, which instead tends to orient itself towards the chromatic spectrum of green, although both software push a lot on fantasy-style aberrations of the sky. It should be specified that the last two photos, in the case of GCam, were taken in Astro mode.

Conclusions

I have not analyzed the aspect related to the wide angle, but I can tell you that the results are similar to what has been told so far with the other sensors. Net of what we said to ourselves, the GCam greatly improves the final yield of the shots in the vast majority of situations but leaves one to think about the fact that in PRO mode, the stock camera allows you to get shots to say the least. poco stupendous, on a par if not superior to what is offered by the GCam in Astro mode. Undoubtedly the advice is to install the GCam on your device, because the photos will gain a lot in terms of details while for everything else what matters is your imagination, only with that you will have photos that will excite even the coldest of hearts.
