Google Camera for the Asus ZenFone 6 (6Z)
Stable GCam for the Asus Zenfone 6 (6z), one of the best phones of 2019 when it comes to the camera. The flip camera module hosts a 48MP Sony IMX586 sensor and a ultrawide 13MP camera, allowing for good quality pictures and video recording.
While the quality from the stock camera app is already good, Google Camera is able to take it to another level. Some improvements and features:
- Better HDR processing, with more details and better dynamic range;
- Night sight for low light and Astrophotography mode for long exposures;
- Time lapse, motion photos, photosphere, etc;
The following apks work well on the Zenfone 6/Asus 6z. If you don’t know how to install apk files, read the How to Install APK files guide.
