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! Instagram: @0.3mp_camera

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: 0.3MP Camera at free with in-app purchases against Bleach Bypass's subscription. 0.3MP Camera also leads on ratings volume (9.4K vs 264) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Bleach Bypass's advantage is chart position (#190 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 0.3MP Camera sells 23 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per year and Bleach Bypass sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
0.3MP Camera holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 0.3MP Camera has 9.4K ratings behind it against 264, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of 0.3MP Camera's written reviews are positive against 85% of Bleach Bypass's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
0.3MP Camera ships an update monthly, Bleach Bypass fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
