The OnePlus Nord is a spectacular mid-range smartphone and one of the best devices we’ve used in 2020. Its quad-cameras manage to deliver exceptional photos when compared to other devices I the category, but if you’re looking to capture the best pictures possible, you’ll want to install the GCam camera app on the OnePlus Nord.
GCam is Google’s camera app that is installed on Pixel smartphones. While most devices use some form of HDR built into their camera apps, GCam’s HRD+ feature uses sophisticated computational photography algorithms to capture multiple exposures into a single image. The end result is an image with more dynamic range with enhanced detail and sharpness. For a detailed look at how the OnePlus Nord’s cameras can be improved with Google’s camera app, check out our OnePlus Nord GCam review.

The GCam app on the OnePlus Nord runs smoothly and you shouldn’t encounter any issue. For now, the app doesn’t support the Nord’s ultra-wide cameras on the front and back or the macro camera. While GCam is great for taking photos, the stock camera app on the Nord is still the best option for recording video.
