More information:

While these versions work on the Pocophone F3, they may also work on the Poco F3 Pro. Please test.

Video, especially stability, might be better on the stock camera. Video bitrate might be better on GCam though.

To take better pictures, use HDR+ Enhanced. It’s slower than normal HDR+ On, but your photos will have a better dynamic range and detail. The only downside is that it’s slower. In most versions, you need to enable HDR controls in the settings menu and then, in the viewfinder, choose HDR+ Enhanced.
