The second member of Nord lineup – Nord CE 5G keeps most of core specs from the vanilla OnePlus Nord. However, the camera department gets an upgrade in the form of a 64MP equipped triple-camera module. Though, the images captured from the stock camera app are not flagship level images. But you can give a boost to the photo quality by sideloading the Pixel 5 Camera app (aka GCam Mod port) on your Nord CE 5G. The best thing is, GCam port is already available for OnePlus Nord Core Edition. Here you can Download Google Camera for OnePlus Nord CE 5G.

OnePlus Nord CE 5G embodies a 64MP main sensor of f/1.79 aperture along with an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens and 2MP monochrome sensor. The stock camera app is the same one which we’ve already seen in many OnePlus phones with support to features such as Nightscape, Pro Mode, UltraShot HDR, and more. The device captures nice images in daylight conditions but the shots reflect some white balance issues. But, sideloading the Google Camera app will help you to capture better images in comparison to the stock camera app.

In terms of features, then the GCam support features such as anticipated Astrophotography mode, Night Sight, SloMo, Beauty Mode, HDR Enhanced, Lens Blur, PhotoSphere, Playground, RAW support, Google Lens, and more. Now let’s take a look on how you can download and install Google Camera on OnePlus Nord CE 5G.
