Google’s Pixel 2 Camera App ports don’t seem to stop. Recently, senior XDA member miniuser123, released an APK which fixes some annoying issues with Exynos-based devices. After installing his APK on your Exynos-based Galaxy S7, Galaxy S8, or Galaxy Note 8 you will be able to enjoy the famous Portrait mode of Google Pixel 2. The app also brings the ability to capture RAW photos and compressed photos simultaneously, zero shutter lag (ZSL), and 4K video recording. This mod only works with the rear camera at the moment. We hope the developer will soon release the app which will support front cam as well.
