How to install Gcam on your Xiaomi mobile
Table of contents:
The Google Camera application that comes with Pixel phones has long been the object of desire for users who use devices from other manufacturers. Those from Mountain View have shown with their terminal that image processing software is as important or more than hardware, the Pixel being one of the best mobile phones in photography despite having a unique camera system. Google has recently released version 7.4 of its Camera application, which includes some improvements such as the expected 4K recording at 60fps.Luckily, the developer community is very effective and we already have a Google Camera mod available for the vast majority of Android phones. It is called Gcam v.7.4 and we are going to see how to get it.
What is Gcam and how to get it?
Gcam is a mod that aims to bring the Google Camera app to various smartphones and ensure that all features work with them. There are several versions of this mod, as some are made for Android phones in general and others have been developed specifically for specific models.
The truth is that there are many developers working on this Google Camera Mod and that there is a large community of users behind them. So much so that already have version 7.4 of Gcam ready, matching the official version of the Google application.Among the novelties we have:
- Automatic DND mode while using video recording
- Quick change of video resolution
- 24 fps video recording
- Video Recording 4K@60fps
- Exposure controls to adjust brightness and HDR in photography
In addition, this new version has included support for Qualcomm's Snapdragon 710 and 845 processors On the other hand, first of all we must make sure that our mobile is compatible with the new Gcam 7.4. To do this, you must have support for "camera2 API" and have Android 10 installed. The new version of Gcam does not work on older versions of Google's operating system.
Once you are sure that your mobile is compatible, you only have to download the application from here. With the downloaded .apk we will install it and, if everything went well, we will have the Gcam on our apps screen.
As we have commented, not all mobile phones are compatible with Gcam If our device has a Snapdragon processor we will have gained a lot of ground. In XDAdevelopers you have a list of terminals that are compatible, although it is not excessively updated.
