The reason behind this is simple – this series is the first to bring the latest Android system. Plus, Google’s camera app has almost no equals on the market. And these handsets don’t cost an arm and a leg. We don’t know any mobile photographer that doesn’t use a GCam mod on the phones different from Google. We mean no matter what brand you are addicted to, you can always download and install Google Camera 8.4 APK and utilize your phone’s camera hardware.

Google Pixel 6 Pro camera sample
As you already guess, today, we are going to talk about the latest Google Camera 8.4 APK. But note, this is not a mod, which means you won’t be able to install it on any device and use it. In fact, this version of GCam is specifically made for the new Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro phones. But we guess it can work with other Pixel phones as well.
Google Camera 8.4 APK New Features
Frankly, there is no radically new feature in the latest Google Camera 8.4 APK. Instead, the company has worked on millions of improvements in the existing camera features for the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro. However, we’d like to drive your attention to some noteworthy features this version of GCam comes with.
Magic Eraser
We guess this was one of the most-discussed features at the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro launch. What it does it to remove unwanted specs of dirt and spots in photos with the help of AI. If turning to Photoshop, the latter has been doing this for many years. But on mobile, the Magic Eraser feature takes this to a whole new level.
We have to mention that now it’s way faster and easier to select what you want and remove them. The results Magic Eraser provides are impeccable. For instance, you can remove a person from the photo and the latter will still look natural.

Real Tone
If you are a mobile photographer, you will agree with us that one of the most annoying things is the inaccuracy of proper skin tone portrayal. Almost no brand is able to provide a true color reproduction – they are either overexposed or underexposed. To fix this, the Google Pixel 6 series comes with a Real Tone. Due to a huge dataset of images, this feature helps the phone capture the most realistic skin tones.
Night Sight & Astrophotography
Google introduced night sight and astrophotography photo modes long ago. The new Google Camera 8.4 APK makes the night-time photos even greater in detail. For instance, Night Sight simply decreases your shutter speed. In effect, more light enters making photos brighter with more detail than usual. The Astrophotography features work in the same way but it requires a tripod and a lot of patience to get amazing results.
Face Unblur
When you capture a photo of a group of people, there will be at least one who either has a blurry face or closed eyes. Thanks to the corresponding feature in the Google Camera 8.4 APK, blurred faces and closed eyes will be fixed with no effort. It works in the following way: Google Camera captures several photos for better exposure; so once you choose one that has a person with closed eyes, it will find another sample, where he/she looks normal.
