When it comes to choosing a smartphone, camera performance is one of the most important factors for many people. There's no doubt that Google Pixel phones pack some of the best cameras around on the smartphone scene. Naturally, the Google Camera app is a powerhouse, thanks to its underlying post-processing algorithms. In an increasingly visual world, that's the exact reason why Google Camera Ports are so highly requested for non-Google devices.
With the appropriately ported Google Camera app (often referred to as GCam by the community), you can use Google's superior HDR+ optimization and its portrait mode on virtually any smartphone that supports the Camera2API. Google even released a trimmed-down version of the Pixel's Google Camera app, called Google Camera Go, which can be sideloaded on various devices without additional modding. While the "Go" variant initially didn't include most of the cool features you'd find in the full-blown app, Google has been working on bringing support for some of those novel features over the last few years.
What are you waiting for? Grab the suitable GCam version for your device and embark on the journey towards better photography.
How to install and use a Google Camera Port
- 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. Except for some specially crafted ports, 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. If you need any assistance, then take a look at our tutorial on how to sideload and install APK files.
- 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 or tweak an existing one for your model.
- Restart the app.
- Success!
