When we turn on our mobile for the first time one of the applications that we first open is the camera, simply to test how well it takes the snapshots and if it has been worth the purchase. Each brand makes its own camera application available to its users through which the 'development' (post-processing) of the image is carried out, which, in the end, is what counts to have a good photo or a mediocre one. And how could it be otherwise, the one that makes the Google camera application usually offers a quality above the average, thanks to the huge amount of data that Google handles, applying these to the algorithms that carry out the development.
Get the Google Gcam for your Asus Zenfone 6
To the satisfaction of many, the Google Camera application can be installed on different models of the most popular brands. Today we have news that the Asus Zenfone 6 model can enjoy the Gcam, which is what the Google camera application is called, and it can also be installed in the simplest way possible.
If you have an Asus Zenfone 6 and you want to try the Google camera you just have to do the following.
- Enter the developer page of this new Gcam camera port for the Asus Zenfone 6
- Download the first version that appears, Gcam 6.2.30
- You must remember that this application is still in beta, not final, and may have certain errors and bugs.
- Once you have downloaded it to your mobile (if you have downloaded it to your PC, connect your mobile to your PC using a USB cable and transfer it) install it as if it were just another application, you do not need to root or do anything to your mobile that could endanger the guarantee thereof.
- And voila, you already have the Gcam for the Asus Zenfone 6 fully enabled and functional. Remember, however, that the version of this Gcam, developed by the veteran Arnova8G2, is not the definitive stable one.
This Gcam for the Asus Zenfone 6 is a before and after in the history of these ports since it is the first Gcam that allows HDR + (the improved dynamic range and developed by Google itself) in photographs taken with a resolution of 48 megapixels. Thanks to this improvement, images will be sharper, with more details than before.
Also, if you install the Gcam on your Asus Zenfone 6, you can get the RAW file of the photos you take. For you to understand us, the RAW file would be the 'negative' of the photo, the raw image without post-processing. Later, thanks to Snapeed, for example, we can manually 'develop' the photo, applying effects that provide a result difficult to achieve in JPEG. Of course, thanks to the Gcam we also get Google's portrait mode, video recording, photo booth function (in a selfie, the front camera will detect when you smile and take the photo instantly), Timelapse and Night mode, one of the most appreciated advantages in this Gcam.
This camera port has been developed, as we said, by Arnova8G2 but with the permission and support of Asus itself, which has sent numerous units to the developers themselves to cook their own ROMs, recoveries and other functionalities that require rooting the device. Something that, without a doubt, is to be appreciated by a brand, which facilitates the development of an alternative community and does not hinder it.
