Google Camera Go on Android (Go edition) APK download

Google introduced Android Go last year with Android 10 and the firmware continues to Android 11 this year. Android Go Edition phones are inexpensive and hence feature very low end processors. So much so that Google developed an entirely new OS for the sub $100 phones called the Android Go Edition; or so called the lite version of Android. For instance, the Nokia 1.3 device is a โ‚ฌ95 phone that runs of Android Go OS featuring Snapdragon 250 SoC. While the device has an upgrade plan for Android 11 Go and even the Android 12 Go Editions, the most intriguing part about this low-end smartphone is the Google Camera Go APK.

We already have the stunning Google Camera APK and Gcam 7.3 ports from various developers for many Android devices out there. However, the Google Camera app only support flagships phones or high end processors similar to Pixel phones. This creates a problem for the budget Android devices and even the mid-range smartphones. While the original Google Camera does not run of non-Pixel devices, there is a large community of developers behind the unofficial Gcam ports. But due to the limitation of Camera2 API, Gcam ports will only run on high end smartphones with processors like Qualcomm Snapdragon 865, 855, 845, and so on; and in some cases even the Snapdragon 700 series and 600 series.

So as for the low-end and even the mid-range Android devices, the Gcam ports mostly wonโ€™t work let along the Google Camera APK. This can be solved with the Android Goโ€™s Google Camera Go APK. The Camera Go app comes pre-installed on Nokia 1.3. It features a fair amount of functionalities and settings as compared to the stock Pixel 4 camera app. The Google Camera Go APK interface is minimalistic with 4 options including camera (for photos), video, portrait, and translate. The settings is also a small overlay dialogue box with toggles for flash, timer, and face enhancer.

However, it still lacks some crucial features like Night Sight and hence, the Astrophotography mode. Regardless, the Google Camera Go is worth a shot. Most importantly, it doesnโ€™t require the Camera 2 API present in the Google Camera 7. The aim of Android (Go edition) is to bring the power of mobile to 100 million+ active users globally. Androidโ€™s Lead Product Manager Arpit Midha explains how it works:
