Perhaps the best aspect of last year’s Google Pixel was the camera, partially thanks to Google’s fantastic (but proprietary) HDR+ image processing technology. That feature was limited to Google’s own devices, until a developer going by the name ‘B-S-G’ modified the app to run on most phones with a Snapdragon 820, 821 or 835 processor. For many devices, it was an upgrade over the included camera app, especially for the Essential phone.
Unofficial Google Camera port updated with RAW support and HDR+ customization was written by the awesome team at Android Police.
