Google Camera 7.2: Astrophotography, high resolution zoom and more for all Pixels

It is clear that the Google Camera (or GCAM) is one of the most popular camera apps out there. It is the app that we can find on phones like Pixels. And now it has updated to its new version, the Google Camera 7.2. We tell you their news.

The Google Pixel 4, Google's new flagship, has just been launched. A high-end phone with exceptional software. And one of the most important things about this Pixel phone is its camera, and therefore it has brought great news that luckily now we will see in the all Pixel phones. 

Google Camera 7.2 what's new

The Google Camera 7.2 brings us a lot of news, but above all what they have dedicated is to bring options that we already had in more modern Pixel phones to the oldest of the company, even the first Pixel. These are the things that you can now use with your Pixel.

• Astrophotography Mode for Pixel 1 and 2.
• Options focus on night mode.
• Modified the depth library for the portrait mode of the Pixel 2.
• Possibility to use the high resolution zoom while zooming and even in night mode (no need to zoom). It works the same as with the Pixel 3.
• Timer automatic for the front camera.
• Synthetic fill flash for the Pixel 2 and for the Pixel 3a.

As we have said, they have basically put capabilities that the new generations already had to the older Pixels. The Astrophotography Mode stands out, recently presented together with the Pixel 4, which is already available even for the original Pixel, which continues to receive many of the novelties despite its three years in the market, which in the world of technology is already a lot of time. Something that is appreciated and that shows that having a Google Pixel is a good way to have a very extensive software support.

We assume that some of these functions will be coming to the GCam for other phones, but some of these may only remain on the Google Pixel.

The news can already be tested on the Pixels. But if they haven't arrived via OTA, you can always download APKs. And even if you don't have a Google Pixel, you can install GCam to have any of these functions, it never hurts to have options such as night mode or better software quality thanks to its software post-processing, which made this application a success.
