It’s been a couple months since the OnePlus 7 Pro, OnePlus 7T and OnePlus 7T Pro are out in the market up for sales. The devices itself look so great and satisfying, and the display, wow, thanks to the 90Hz display. Everything with the device looked so great at the launch event along with the camera where DxOMark gave a whopping score of 111 points. But the actual scene behind the camera proved to be a real downside in the actual world. Nowhere to complain, but DxOMark’s scores really don’t portray the device’s camera properly this time.
Although the device is priced comparatively less than the other competitors such as the Google Pixel 3, the Samsung Galaxy S10+, and the iPhone XS, this is certainly not what we expect from OnePlus. The camera performance may still be improved via the software updates but there are some issued which they can’t necessarily fix as expected.
And right here, the Google Camera mods (GCam Mod) come into the picture helping to unleash the camera sensor to its full potential and provide us with the best images. All thanks to Google for making their camera app open source which helped various developers to work on them and mod them preferably in order to work with certain devices. The GCam Mods make use of Pixel’s computational photography algorithms to provide us with stunning quality images along with added features like Night Sight and Photobooth.
Now, if you are a nerd who bought the OnePlus 7 Pro, we presume you are waiting for the GCam mod to be available for the device. Well, here it is along with a step by step guide helping you install it. You can also check out the various results and variations we found between the images taken from the stock camera app and the GCam mod app.
