Google Camera (Pixel Camera) is the stock camera app for the Google Pixel smartphones. Due to its ability to do wonders, most of the other OEM smartphone users want to install this Google Camera app on their respective devices. Earlier we have shared a guide to install Google Camera Mod on Huawei phones. But, that MOD was limited to Android 10+ devices. Today, we have the latest GCAM 8.7 MOD which lets you install the Google Camera on Huawei Android 9 Pie devices too.
What is the GCAM Mod?
Gcam Mod is an unofficial way to bring the Google Camera app on your Android device with all the features. There are several variations to the Gcam mod. Some are meant to work on all Android models while some are device-specific. As these mods contain bugs and issues, developers update the same from time-to-time.
A developer named parrot043 has its hand to the Google Camera 8.7 app and shares the mod variants of the Gcam 8.7 APK for various Android models. The latest version of Gcam comes with features like HDR+, portrait mode, motion photos, lens blur, slow motion, and more. One can also refer below for a detailed changelog overview.
