Poco M5 Gcam Port (Google Camera Mod)
The Poco M5 was first introduced by Xiaomi in mid-2022. The smartphone is equipped with a 50MP main camera and 2MP additional camera support for macro and depth.
The Poco M5’s camera, especially the main lens, is good enough to capture important moments in well-lit locations. Although there is a Night Mode feature for taking photos in low-light locations, it doesn’t help much and seems too forced. This is in contrast to the Google camera, which looks clearer and has detailed colors.
Speaking of bokeh photos, they appear a little darker than regular photos. But the background blur and edge detection are pretty good. Especially the blur doesn’t appear too noticeable.
The 5MP front camera doesn’t give us much to be proud of. If it’s just for being on social media, it’s good enough. For video recording, the phone is capable of getting 1080p resolution at 30fps.
Using Google Camera is one way to get better photos in certain conditions. If you want to install this Gcam application on Poco M5, please refer to the following guide.
