Do you want to give your Samsung camera a bonus with the GCam? Although mobiles always manage to surprise us with new functions and camera effects, the Google Camera app seems essential to obtain quality photographs with a personal touch.
And luckily for the users, GCam has long ceased to be the privilege of Google's Pixels, thanks to the work of developers who have designed their own ports or solutions to take it to other devices.
So if you have a Samsung, chances are good that you will enjoy GCam. To do this, your device must be included in the following list of compatible Samsung mobiles and you must follow the installation instructions to the letter.
The APK links correspond to the XDA Developers community, and these may change over time, so read carefully the indications of each developer before starting the process. That will be your task.

If you have a Galaxy with these versions of Android, you can try this APK, regardless of whether they have an Exynos or Snapdragon processor. Note that it will not work on all devices even if they meet these requirements.
My Samsung is not on this list, how do I install GCam?
The XDA Developers community has been busy porting GCam to as many devices as possible with its Google Camera Port Hub project. So if you can't find your mobile in these types of listings it is because it is not compatible with GCam.
Still, you can check the forums related to your Samsung model and ask about GCam. And of course, if you have any questions on the subject, these types of communities are the ideal ones to request opinions from other users before installing some of the available APKs.
Tips to keep in mind
Remember that developers are updating the APK versions as they make modifications, and even then they usually present errors. On the other hand, although in most mobiles it is only necessary to perform a few steps to install the APK, in others it is necessary to unlock the bootloader, root the mobile, etc.
If these processes are complex for you, then it is better not to do these steps without the advice of an expert on the subject.
