Get Google Camera on your OnePlus 7 Pro

The OnePlus 7 Pro device is now available via different online stores for purchase and the reviews of the device are quite optimistic for the company. Even so, OnePlus 7 Pro’s camera is a department where the phone lags behind the other flagships of the moment. What you get is a tri-lens camera on the back with a 48MP main lens. On paper, the camera specs are great to get from a $669 smartphone, but what if you want a bit more?

Google Camera is being ported to more and more devices from the budget segment to high-end flagships. Using the appropriate camera mods, you can bring the power of this Google Camera to your OnePlus 7 Pro too, now that a dedicated GCam mod update has finally arrived for it.

Note that the latest GCam ports should work on most devices just fine by default, but there are configuration files for specific devices that use optimal settings for the best experience. These configuration files could make it possible for the GCam app to recognize the other cameras and enable them for you.
