This GCam for Exynos phones works on the following devices:

• Samsung Galaxy S10e, S10, S10+, Note 10, and Note 10+
• Samsung Galaxy S9, S9+, and Note 9
• Samsung Galaxy S8, S8+, and Note 8
• Samsung Galaxy S7
• Samsung Galaxy A5
• Samsung Galaxy A7
• Samsung Galaxy A8

Usually Google Camera only works on devices with similar hardware to Pixel phones, specifically the processor or SoC, but a developer called Zoran was able to create one version that works on both Exynos and Snapdragon powered devices.

How does it work?

This apk is based on Google Camera 6.1 and it’s compatible with Android 8, 9, and 10+. You need two things:

• The app (apk file)
• A config(uration) for your phone (loads the correct settings)

You can find the download links below, but essentially you need to:

1. Download Google Camera apk
2. Download the config file
3. Install the APK file (how to install apk files)
4. Move the config file to the /GCam/Configs/ folder
5. Load the config

For step 4 and 5 (loading configs), see: How to load config files.

It might seem hard to do, but it only takes 3-5 minutes from installation to taking pictures with GCam.

Front Camera Fix:

Due to a limitation on Samsung’s code, the following devices need a modded system file to fix the front camera: S10, S10+, S10E, S9, S9+, Note 9. In order to do this, root is needed.

To get the files, visit the telegram group and type #libguide

The only exception to this is the Note 10. You just have to change a few settings in GCam:

• Set front Denoise Multiplier to 100%
• Set black level front to auto
• Set switch front to id 3
• Disable alternative front fix

Other devices (S8, Note 8, A7, A8, etc) don’t need any fixes.

Help and support:

The best way to get support is to visit the available telegram groups:

• Telegram group for Zoran versions
• Telegram group for phones with Snapdragon SoC

What’s so good about GCam?

When we take a picture with our phone, it needs to process the image to remove noise, improve dynamic range, etc. Sadly most phones, specially cheap or mid-range ones, are bad at this.

Google managed to create a very good processing technology which is superior to what brands like OnePlus, Xiaomi, Motorola, Nokia, etc, use. Even Samsung or Apple struggle to keep up with them.

To give you an idea of what it can do, look at this side-by-side comparison between the stock camera app and Google Camera on a OnePlus phone:

This shows the power of Google Camera. The camera sensor and light conditions are the same, but Google’s software does a better job than the stock camera app.

How to install GCam?

Because this is a modified version, it’s not available in the play store. We need to download an apk file (format used by Android apps) and then open it (or, “install it”) using a file manager.

Installing Google Camera only takes a few seconds and while it may seem like a hard task, it’s actually very easy to do.

How to download GCam?

Since developers (the people that mod the app) share their files in different places (forums, telegram groups, etc), the best way to to find Google Camera versions is to visit Celso’s website. The suggested versions page is a good place to start.

Help and support

This app doesn’t work well on all phones and sometimes not all features are available. If you need help to find a good version, check this list of forum threads and groups where you can find more information.
