Google Camera and its post-processing algorithms undoubtedly changed the game in terms of what we expect from smartphone cameras, elevating the Google Pixels to some of the best Android phones you can buy for the camera. That’s the exact reason why Google Camera ports are so highly requested for non-Google devices. With the appropriate ported Google Camera app, you can use Google’s superior HDR+ optimization as well as their Portrait Mode on virtually any smartphone that supports the Camera2API.

      One of the best apps around if your phone supports that API. It’s why Google could turn a mediocre hardware device into one of the best cameras - it’s all in the software. Basically gives Pixel level functionality to plain phones (apart from any hardware specific stuff the Pixel has).
