LMC8.2: Third-Party Google Camera Port
LMC8.2 is a free photography application for Android made by an indie developer known as Hasli. It is a third-party port of the Google Camera app, which is the default camera app in Google's Pixel line of smartphones and is also included in the Google Apps package for Android OS.
Compared to other camera solutions like Manual Camera or Open Camera, LMC8.2 is based on the Google Camera app and includes Google-exclusive features developed in-house. It also retains the signature image-processing algorithm and style that Google is known for.
LMC8.2 allows users of non-Pixel devices to experience the signature "Pixel" look in their photos. The Google Pixel devices are renowned for their fluid software experiences, thoughtful features, and exceptional cameras. This port enables users to try out Pixel-exclusive features and capture images with a dramatic yet natural look. It enhances contrast, optimizes exposure, and preserves fine details in the shot.
LMC8.2 offers features like HDR+ for improved photo quality and Night Sight for exceptional low-light photography. However, as an unofficial port, not all features may work as intended, and compatibility with different camera hardware variations is not guaranteed.
If you are a fan of Google's Pixel devices and want to experience their class-leading image processing, LMC8.2 is worth trying out. Just keep in mind that it may not work with all devices, but it's definitely worth a shot.
