Your phone's camera will keep getting better year after year... but this one will remain the same.
The 0.3MP Camera is a tribute to the button phone cameras from '00s, in those days, we had enough 0.3 megapixels and 640x480 resolution to capture the best moments. Now so many years later, those pictures seem so dreamy, so I've tried to recreate all aspects of making it.
Processing
The camera recreates all the artifacts inherent in the old CMOS sensors of mid-range phones, like bayer filter artifacts, dark and banding noises, blooming etc. You can pinch to zoom to make it more visible, the digital zoom will reduce the quality of the photo just like on an old phone.
Interface
The interface will be recognized by all who had an any Nokia with Series 40 or Symbian S60, all control is done with three buttons at the bottom. You can shoot on camera, record video or import your own photos for processing. Nothing extra.
P.S. This is the first (released 20 Jan 2023) and best app on the AppStore (over 58,000 five-star reviews worldwide) that emulates the mobile phone camera from the 2000s.
All others (even the big and popular apps) mimic this one.
Beware of fakes!

"Scarily accurate to real early digital phone camera" — that’s how users describe the 0.3MP Camera app in App Store reviews.
This is a small update with no significant changes, but I’m actively working on something new and exciting..

"Scarily accurate to real early digital phone camera" — that’s how users describe the 0.3MP Camera app in App Store reviews. And now it's even more accurate!
• The Nokia 2630 camera has been completely redesigned. The colors, algorithms and low-light noise now match the real sensor. If you have an actual Nokia 2630, try comparing the photos pixel by pixel — they are almost identical
• Siemens CX70 and Nokia 2630 now save photos using custom JPEG codecs with the same compression and behavior as on real devices
Also:
• You can now shoot Live Photos! Just tap the white round Live Photo icon above the phone model selector to enable Live mode
• Import your own Live Photos for processing (Options → Import)
• And you can even add frames and clip-art to processed Live Photos in the app’s Gallery (Gallery → Image → Options → Insert frame / clip-art)
• The app no longer requires full access to your photo library — you can now manually choose which photos to share with the app
