The Redmi A1 is currently the cheapest mobile in the Xiaomi catalog and, without a doubt, it is the most recommended smartphone for less than 100 euros.
Unfortunately, to offer such a low price, Xiaomi has had to make significant sacrifices in the Redmi A1’s hardware and this is mainly noticeable in the camera.
The results of its dual rear camera, which uses 8 MP (main) and 2 MP (bokeh) sensors, leave a lot to be desired.
But here we bring you good news: there is already a GCam compatible with the Redmi A1 and we’ll leave you the link right away so you can download its APK and try it out.
It greatly improves the photographic quality of the mobile, especially in dimly lit scenes, so don’t miss it.
How to download GCam for Redmi A1
As it is a mobile that uses a reduced version of Android ( Android 12 Go ), obviously it only supports the light version of the Google Camera: GCam Go.
This version includes all of Google’s photography algorithms that squeeze camera sensors, but it doesn’t have as many features to work smoothly and quickly on low-resource mobiles, such as the Redmi A1.
Be that as it may, as you can see in the video above, the GCam Go greatly improves the camera performance of the Redmi A1. If you want to install the same GCam used in the video, download the following APK:

However, we recommend you take a look at the official GCam Go MODs repository where you will find more recent versions of this camera application.
The versions that work best are these:
- ” CameraGo_2.5_Greatness_Special-2 “
- ” GCAMGO_3.3.439_SHAMIM_V1 “.
You can try others, but they may not work quite well on your Redmi A1.
