Google Camera is one of the wonders among Android devices. It is the holy grail of Google Pixel smartphones since while other companies are relying on multiple-cameras to deliver high-quality shots, Google Pixels are sustained by powerful software. Pixel smartphones have blessed with this technology thus making them some of the best smartphones in the photography market. They have official support for advanced features like Astrophotography, High-Resolution Video Recording, AI-powered HDR, and many others. The community is fast, and after successful GCam iterations like Gcam 7.3 and 7.4, we finally have a working Gcam 8.0 mod for Android smartphones. The new updated version brings a set of interesting features and improvements. It has been bought to us by the hands of BSG, one of the leading developers in the GCam project.
