Google's image processing algorithms have been lauded far and wide, and they're the reason modded Google Camera apps are so sought-after by smartphone camera enthusiasts. Google Camera version 8.0 introduced with the Pixel 5 and the Pixel 4a 5G added a bunch of useful features — such as Storage Saver mode — which were eventually rolled out to older Pixels with v8.1. Now, developers have released a modded version of Google Camera 8.1 that also works on non-Pixel devices.

PX Mod v8.1 comes from developer Urnyx05, who has based it on Google Camera 8.1.008. This means you should be able to try out new features such as Cinematic Pan and Audio Zoom on your non-Pixel device.

Here's the full changelog:
