It is an undeniable fact that the Pixel series of smartphones from Google has one of the best smartphone cameras in the relative market and Google Camera App is the primary force behind them. This was enough to give rise to a plenitude of Google Camera Ports for other Snapdragon devices as well like Xiaomi POCO F1, Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1, and various others. However, with the release of Snapdragon 845 processor, the Google Camera Port in Samsung Galaxy S9/S9+ & Samsung Galaxy Note 9 started causing the smartphone to restart on several occasions.

The developers took note of the same and were able to create an updated version of Google Camera Port Apk for Samsung Galaxy S9/S9+ & Samsung Galaxy Note 9 for both Snapdragon as well as Exynos chipsets. The important point to note is that though the HDR+ feature of the Google Camera works exceedingly well, the Portrait Mode doesn’t work at all.

However, there is a silver lining to this cloud as the developers have stated that once the Pixel 3 comes out with an updated version of Google Camera Port Apk; they will be able to analyze the same in order to make the Portrait Mode work on non-Google Pixel devices.
