Application Google Camera - in short GCAM - is one of the software leaders in the field of mobile photography. It brings the best optimization of several algorithms, thanks to which it can conjure great photos even from weakly equipped mobile cameras.
Thanks to the excellent results, GCam is very popular
Due to its features, this application is very popular, but its official version is also available in Play Store not available for a wide range of smartphones. Fortunately, the GCam developer community for Xiaomi and Redmi is quite strong, so this great application has been adapted and "ported" to several smartphones of these brands.
With a smartphone Notes redmi 8 Pro however, there was a problem because it is equipped with a chipset from the company Mediatek. However, the basics of GCam are built for processors Qualcomm Snapdragon and therefore the challenge was ahead of the developers. Notes redmi 8 Pro however, it includes powerful photo hardware and combining it with GCam qualities would yield great results.
