How to Install Camera MX for free on your Android Device and enjoy Live Photos functionality

Have you heard of iPhone’s 6s “Live Photos” camera mode? Well, it seems that that captures the few seconds of video that occurred before and after you hit the shutter button, and displays them kind of like a GIF, but who says that you cannot enjoy that on Android as well?

Let me tell you about a special Android app that comes with this “Live Photos” functionality as well.

I am talking about none other than Camera MX that can be used to create and edit photos, as well as videos, so this is your chance to enjoy the special iPhone Live Photos feature even on Android.
