With the launch of the Google Pixel 6 series (review by TheVerge), Google has introduced a whole bunch of new features that are exclusive to the Pixel lineup of devices. The Pixel 6 series is undoubtedly the king of the camera department on any smartphone right now, and sadly it isn’t arriving in a whole lot of countries outside the United States. The Android camera king now gets Magic Eraser, Manual Exposure toggle, and more. Now, courtesy of some excellent developers, we do have a working camera port from the Pixel 6 series, that works on other non-Pixel Android devices, such as realme, OnePlus, Oppo, Vivo, or even Samsung phones.

Yes, not all features work at the moment, but you’d frankly be surprised by what the GCAM port APK can achieve. This article will take a look at some of the best features of the Pixel 6 series, and guide you through the installation process of the ported Pixel 6 GCam APK file.

What Is Google Camera or GCAM APK and Why Is It Special?

If you’re unfamiliar with Google Camera, let me explain. Google Camera is the official camera app that comes pre-installed on Pixel devices, along with all of Google’s software wizardry. What that port here means is that the identical camera software seen on Pixel devices has been tweaked so that it can now be used on any Android device.

Pixel 6 Series Google Camera Features

Now that we’ve had a brief look at what the Google Camera APK is, let’s take a deep dive into some of the key features of the much-loved application.

• Motion Mode

Motion Mode gives your photographs shot with the Google Camera or GCAM APK a sense of artificial blur. It operates in a way that contradicts the Face Unblur tool, giving the impression that the photographs were taken while moving. This eliminates the need to use the Pro modes on any Android smartphone to create long exposure shots.

• Skin Tones and White Balance Adjustment:

This functionality might be linked to Google’s attempts to increase its phones’ ability to record different skin tones. Google has been training its computational photography models to better identify different skin tones and alter the white balance accordingly, according to the firm.
