How to install Google Camera :

Is your device ready?
Before proceeding to download and installation, you must make sure that the Google Camera application (GCam) is compatible with your phone. You didn’t think it would be as simple as downloading an apk and installing it, did you?

You should already know that the application is only compatible with Snapdragon type processors. That’s good, because the Redmi Note 7 and Note 8 have a Snapdragon 660 and a Snapdragon 665 respectively.

But the Note 8 Pro has a MediaTek Helio G90T processor you say, is this a problem? Not at all, because the developers managed to run the application on this processor, thanks to the resemblance of the architecture of the latter to that of Snapdragon processors.

Well, now that the processor issue is settled, we know that our phones are ready to run the application, from a hardware point of view at least.

Afterwards, of course, software compatibility must also be ensured. For this, our smartphones must be compatible with the Camera API 2. The latter is a programming interface (Application Programming Interface) which is necessary for the proper functioning of the GCam.

Well, let’s see if our phones are compatible with this interface. We use the Camera API 2 Prob application.

As the screen above shows, our Redmi Note 8 supports Camera API 2 level 3. This means that all users of this model will be able to easily install the Google Camera application on their devices.

The Redmi Note 7 and Note 8 Pro are both also compatible with this interface, so this shouldn’t be a problem.

Perfect ! Now that we know that our devices will be well compatible with GCAM, let’s move on to the installation:
