Google is the leading OEM when it comes to the advanced camera software. Gcam, which is a short form for Google Camera app, is aimed at bringing all the exclusive amazing features in Google pixel phones to other Android devices. Some of these features are HDR+, night mode, Astrophotography, which is still an exclusive feature of the Google app. To make some of the features available for other Android phones, developers have designed custom ports called Gcam.
