The Nokia 9 PureView has a rather complex camera arrangement that produces excellent results. However, Google Pixel Camera app (or Gcam as it is sometimes referred to) still has its advantages. Mainly, superb low light performance and a punchier looking image without additional processing.

Thankfully, there are a number of helpful modders out there who produce Gcam APKs that work with many modern phones. The Nokia 9 PureView is no exception! I tried a ton of APKs:

So far, the best by is the MGC_6.1.021_Potter_v5-san1ty.apk (and the updated version quoted below). Other Gcam versions would crash or were lacking essential functionality like exposure compensation and night sight.

The MGC_6.1.021_Potter_v5-san1ty.apk version works very well with no shutter lag. All camera functionality seems perfect (including Night Sight and Portrait). 🙂

NOTE: on first startup there was some initial lag, but after going into settings and back to the camera everything works perfectly!

Reader DL recommended the original v5 version… because 7.1 freezes for him.
