About this Google Camera 6.1.021 Download for UMIDIGI S3 Pro:
This GCam APK for UMIDIGI S3 Pro is a port of Google Camera latest version 6.1.021 where Time Lapse feature was introduced.
Following are the features working on this Google Camera APK:
- Basic Google Camera features (HDR+/RAW/ZSL/Flash and etc.)
- Portrait Mode (Front/Rear)
- Night Sight (Front/Rear)
- Slow Motion
- Video Recording (1080p 60fps, 4K 30fps)
Except Slow motion rest of all other features of Google Camera is intact on this ported app. Personally I feel like the slo-mo feature of the MIUI camera is better as it provides 960fps super slow-mo video recording.
