Download Google Camera Port (APK) for Redmi Note 8 Pro

Google Camera Port is based on the Pixel Stock Camera application. The Pixel range of devices comes with the Snapdragon chipset and GCAM development proceeds in the same direction. As a result, it becomes very difficult to develop these ports for a device with a MediaTek processor. That's what happened with Redmi Note 8 Pro. As the first device in the Redmi Note series to support a MTK chipset, developing a GCAM port for this device has been a daunting task. But, a senior member of XDA, Wyroczen, managed to port the Google Camera port for the Redmi Note 8 Pro device. Let's take a look at its features and how to install it on your device.
