Here in this article, we will share with you the links to download Google Camera for Xiaomi Redmi 9, 9A, 9C, or 9 Prime (GCAM APK). It seems that the Chinese smartphone OEM Xiaomi is on a sprinting mode that we can see in a multiple device launches within a couple of months this year in 2020. Though the list is quite big, here we’re talking about the budget segment Xiaomi Redmi devices like Redmi 9 series models.

All of the Redmi 9 lineup devices are equipped with MediaTek processors with decent hardware specifications which justifies their price segments. But these days people are mostly looking for a good camera smartphone instead of multiple camera lenses. Though the budget-friendly Android smartphones do come with multiple cameras with higher megapixels count on the document (advertised), we can’t deny that most of them fail to keep the promises regarding capturing stunning images.

It mostly happens due to the lack of the software algorithm that’s developed for the MIUI skin or the particular Xiaomi device. Whereas the same device with the same camera lens can perform way beyond the expectations using the modded Google Camera app which can be considered as a third-party camera app for all non-Pixel Android devices. So, if you’re not aware of Google Camera (GCam) app then check the brief overview below.
