One of the major attractions of the recently launched Samsung Galaxy M21 is its camera. And it is worth installing GCam (from Pixel 4) on it for enhancing the camera performance. In terms of optics, then the Galaxy M21 offers a sophisticated triple-lens camera setup on the back alongside a 20-megapixel selfie shooter. And one of the best things about the device is the availability of Camera2 API, which allows us to sideload the Google Camera app. Here you can Download Google Camera for Samsung Galaxy M21.
Google Camera 7.2 for Samsung Galaxy M21 (Best GCam)
Samsung Galaxy M21 is undoubtedly the best camera smartphone available under its price segment. The smartphone dawns a 48-megapixel standard camera lens alongside the 8MP ultrawide-angle lens and 5MP depth sensor. The stock camera app knocks up with a slew number of useful features that include Super Stable Video recording, dedicated Night Scape Mode, and a few more. The device captures the best photos in daylight, but the things are not good while capturing shots in low-light. But the Google Camera app allows you to capture some blazing shots using Night Sight Mode.
