The Google Pixel family became some of the greatest Android phones for photography on the market for a number of years thanks to Google Camera and its post-processing algorithms, which clearly changed the game in terms of what we expect from smartphone cameras. That’s precisely why Google Camera ports for non-Google devices are so popular.
For practically every smartphone that supports the Camera2API, you may access Google’s improved HDR+ enhancement and its Portrait Mode by using the appropriate ported Google Camera software, also known by the community as simply “Gcam.” Google even released Google Camera Go, a condensed version of the Pixel’s Google Camera software that can be sideloaded on multiple devices without further tinkering. The “Go” version initially lacked the majority of the exciting features you’d find in the full-fledged app, but over the past few years, Google has been striving to add support for some of those cutting-edge capabilities.
How to install and use Google Camera
- Make sure your device supports the Camera2 API. Here’s our guide on how to check if your Android device supports Camera2 API.
- Besides the Camera2 API, Google Camera also requires Google Play Services. The app will crash if you try to run it on a phone without Google Apps. You can, however, use MicroG or Gcam Services Provider to spoof Google’s proprietary libraries.
- Download the most compatible APK file of the ported Google Camera from the next section and install it.
- Either use one of the suggested versions for your device or pick one of the generic mods.
- You may need to install additional XML configuration files.
- Restart the app
