Android smartphones are not much traditionally great for their camera application. But all changed after the launch of Google Pixel and subsequent Pixel 2. Now, Android users are trying to match the same level of Pixel devices in terms of quality. It turns out, a lot of Pixel magic has to do with the Google stock camera application. XDA Developers have been working hard on porting this camera module for various devices.

A Ukrainian developer, B-S-G has successfully ported Google Camera APK with HDR+ support for various devices. It is reported to work on Snapdragon 820, 821 and 835 chipset smartphones. The chipset compatibility means, the app will work on multiple devices that come with the mentioned processor. You can download the Google Camera port APK from the links given below, and install it right away.
We have separated the download section into two categories. The one is general APK, that will work on any device based on the chipset. Another one is device specific category, that will work on some particular smartphones only.
Why Google Camera Port?
The Google Camera application does not work correctly on all the devices. If you just download the Google Camera from APKMirror or any other site, it may get installed on your phone. But, Portrait Mode, HDR+ and Zero Shutter Lag (ZSL) may not work. You may not get all the Pixel Camera features. So, some additional change had to be made with the app. This modification is called porting Google Camera app from Pixel devices. This is not an official APK from Play Store, but a modified one from B-S-G and other developers. All credit goes to the them.
