Google’s official Camera app (Google Camera) is a favorite choice of many Android users. But it will not work on non-Google phones without root. However, if you upgraded your Xiaomi smartphone to MIUI 10 8.11 Developer ROM, you can install the official Google Camera without root. This is because of the HAL3 support of MIUI 10 8.11 China Developer ROM.
The latest version of Google Camera requires HAL3 (Hardware Abstraction Layer 3) support to run on an Android phone. Xiaomi’s MIUI 10 8.11 Developer ROM supports the Camera HAL3. It means, you can install Google’s official camera app on your Mi or Redmi phones. However, first need to install the Google service framework. No root access is required.
Note that, even if you haven’t installed the MIUI 10 8.11 Developer ROM or above, still you can enjoy the Google Camera and its awesome features like HDR+, Night Sight, etc. on your Xiaomi phone. It requires root access on the phone. Unfortunately, this is not a recommended method for everyone.
Modified Google Camera app with its latest features like HDR+, Night Sight, etc. are now available on many Xiaomi phones, such as Xiaomi Mi 5, Poco F1, Mi 8, Mi Mix 2S and more.
The latest version of Google camera app comes with exciting features like Night Sight, Photobooth, Super Zoom, Live Lens and many more. Without a good camera app you cannot capture good photos. [Source]
