Google launches standalone Google Camera app

Google CameraAnother Google app has made its way onto the Google Play store as a standalone app. The latest is none other than Google Camera. Available for devices running Android 4.4 or higher, it features a completely redesigned interface as well as new creative picture modes.

The new interface is the most noticeable change with an extra large capture button now occupying a significant portion of the screen. Other changes include a new Lens Blur mode meant to mimic the Bokeh effect possible with certain camera lenses. Nexus 5 owners will also be happy to know that the new camera app includes a fix for the viewfinder crop issue. Other features (not necessarily new though) include:

  • Photo Spheres for immersive 360º views
  • Panorama mode with high resolution

With the camera now available as a standalone app, Google will no longer need to release an Android update to make any enhancements and fixes. Instead, these will now be available through app updates.
