The Google Camera application, also known as Google Camera, is today the best Android photography application. Not so much for the amount of options and controls available, but for the quality of your photos. And is that thanks to the post-processing by software that the app performs when taking photos, the final result of the images has little or nothing to do with that achieved in other similar applications.
The only drawback of this is that, officially, it is only available for the Google Pixel. However, thanks to the developers at XDA Developers, we can enjoy it on almost any mobile with a Snapdragon processor. Again thanks to the programmers of the mentioned forum, now we can install it in the Samsung Galaxy S9 and Note 9 in the variants with both Snapdragon and Exynos processor.
Install the Google Camera app on the Samsung Galaxy S9 and Note 9
This very morning was when the people of XDA announced it through the web: the Google Camera port for the Galaxy S9 and Note 9 is now ready to download in the versions with Exynos and Snapdragon processors. You can do it by clicking on this link.
To install the aforementioned application on your device, you can do it as if it were a normal application through the respective APK file. Of course, first of all you should activate the option to Install applications from unknown sources within the Android settings; specifically in the Security section.
Regarding the operation of the application, from XDA they ensure that most of the functions work correctly. The only thing we must bear in mind is that for the application to apply the Google Pixel 2 XL processing we must activate the Auto HDR + option of the Google Pixel and select the Google Pixel 2 XL model in the BSG section.
Last but not least, the original developer warns that the version for Exynos processors can suffer from low and high exposure problems in photographs with complex lighting situations. Mention is also made of a slight greenish tone in some photographs, although some users report a good performance of it.
