Are you ready to enhance your Vivo Y21 or Y21S camera experience? You’ve come to the right spot! We’re thrilled to introduce the latest Google Camera (GCam) for your Vivo, packed with Pixel-level performance enhancements that will elevate your photos from ordinary to extraordinary.
Why choose Google Camera? It’s the app that powers Google’s Pixel devices, featuring HDR+ technology that significantly improves image quality across all devices, particularly for lower and mid-range models. But that’s not all! Google Camera offers Night Sight for breathtaking low-light photography, a stylish portrait mode, motion photos, panorama options, lens blur, 60fps video, slow-motion capture, and much more.

If you’re eager to maximize the performance of your Vivo Y21 or Y21S, this guide is exactly what you need. Thanks to dedicated developers like Arnova8G2, BSG, and Urnyx05, the GCam APK is now available for the Vivo Y21 and Y21S, and installing it is as simple as any other app!
How to Install Google Camera on Vivo Y21 and Y21S
Getting started with Google Camera is a piece of cake! No rooting is necessary.
- Download the GCam APK – Click the link above to download, then tap the file to begin.
- Enable Unknown Sources – Navigate to your device’s Settings > Security/Privacy, and turn on “Unknown Sources.” (If it’s already enabled, you can skip this step!)
- Install the App – Follow the prompts, click Install, and you’re all set!
- Launch and Enjoy – Open Google Camera and dive into all the professional features at your disposal.
If the app doesn’t run smoothly for any reason, you may need to enable Camera2API by adjusting build.prop (this step isn’t required for all devices).
Persist.vender.camera.HAL3.enable=1Now, get ready to capture the world like never before!
We hope this guide has simplified the process of installing the Google Camera port on your Vivo Y21 or Y21S, allowing you to capture stunning photos! If you encounter any problems or have any questions, feel free to leave a comment below, and we’ll be glad to assist you.
Good that you credit Arnova8G2, BSG and Urnyx05 by name — these ports only exist because of that work, and too many download pages skip the attribution. One practical note for Y21/Y21s owners: these phones run the Helio P35, and on budget MediaTek chips the full HDR+ Enhanced stack can take several seconds per shot. That’s normal, not a bug — Night Sight still works, just brace the phone and wait for the processing ring to finish instead of retaking the photo. Your build.prop note (persist.vender.camera.HAL3.enable=1) is correct for the rare case Camera2API is off, but most Y21 units ship with it enabled already, so I’d test the app before touching system files. Also worth knowing: on these entry-level Vivos the newer GCam 9.x builds are heavier and crash more often, while the 8.4 generation — particularly Hasli’s LMC 8.4 R18F1, whose R18 release focused on controls and stability rather than image changes — tends to be the sweet spot. If one package identity misbehaves, the Snapcam or Aweme variant sometimes acts differently on the same phone. I’ve documented the six R18F1 package identities and how to choose one at https://lmcapkdownload.com/lmc-8-4-r18/ — start with Standard, test, and only switch packages when a specific lens fails.

Absolutely agree. The point about testing the GCam build before modifying build.prop is especially important for Y21/Y21s users. LMC 8.4 R18F1 also seems like a much more sensible choice for these older budget MediaTek devices than jumping straight to heavier 9.x builds. Thanks for sharing the package-variant tip as well. That should save people a lot of unnecessary trial and error.
