[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Themes, Apps, and Mods] SkaboXD:
I present to you the Google Camera which focuses on natural/realistic photography. Config by me. APK based on MGC v8.1.101 A9 GVb1 by BSG.

Description:

- I was tired of seeing oversharpened XMLs for Gcam with excessive use of HDR effect (wider dynamic range than it really is & too much light in photos). I have Nokia 808 Pureview as my backup device which is known as a camera beast. I think that it's processing of photos is the most natural out of all the phones out there. I wanted to achieve the goal to have Poco X3 with the same photo processing as Nokia 808 Pureview. So this Gcam is more focused on hardware than on software photo processing. I will give you a little teaser. Here is the comparison between this Poco X3 Gcam mod & Nokia 808 Pureview (you can ignore contrast artifacts which are fixed):

Compared to stock camera & some other Gcam mods, this Gcam offers:

+ better color reproduction

+ better choice of automatic white balance

+ no oversharpening (still has more sharpening than Nokia 808 lmao)

+ finer details

+ low noise

+ good enough & realistic dynamic range

+ real amount of light in photos (in amount of which sensor allows; f.e it's not possible for this sensor to obtain enough amount of light in night)

Cons:

- worse dynamic range in more complex scenes (because no HDR effect is used) [complex scene example: you're taking a photo of open window with a lot of light]

- less light in some objects in more complex scenes (same as above)

- too strong contrast (sensor limitation, not an app issue)

- white balance is not always perfect, it can miss white balance indoors, especially when artificial light (bulb, LED) is used

- ultrawide camera has more saturation than it is in reality, but the other colors are perfectly rendered (fixable)

- you have to constantly disable AWB If you want better white balance for macro camera as it's not possible currently to choose AWB for individual camera sensors

- slower camera switching (could be because of APK, also could be the ROM issue)

- slower photo taking (because I focus on maximum picture quality, I did set the HDR+ Enhanced frames to 48 frames. If you want faster photo taking, use HDR+ instead with some miniscule degradation in photo quality)

Most of these cons are also in other camera softwares, some of them are sensor limited, i just listed all cons that I could find.
