Google Camera Gcam for Mi Note 10 Lite [Download & Install]

Mi Note 10 Lite is a flagship killer device from Xiaomi. The low-end variant of the Mi Note 10 series comes with promising cameras on very powerful hardware in a solid build. Mi Note 10 Lite has attracted masses mainly because of its price point. Xiaomi has used the Sony IMX686 as its main camera sensor and this phone uses Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G’s image processing. The use of SD730G opens doors for Google Camera on this handset. In this guide, I am going to show you how you can download Google Camera aka GCam for Mi Note 10 Lite. The tutorial will show how to download and install GCam on Mi Note 10 Lite.

About the Mi Note 10 Lite

Mi Note 10 Lite is the world’s first mid-range device with a curved screen. Xiaomi has used a 6.4-inches Super AMOLED panel on this phone. The phone uses a waterdrop notch with no bezels and an extremely sleek chin. Mi Note 10 Lite is built out of glass which is surrounded by an Aluminium frame. The phone uses Gorilla Glass 5 on the front and at the back. This is also among the phones that successfully retain a headphone jack in the year 2020. The phone further has a fingerprint scanner underneath its display. Mi Note 10 Lite uses a RAM of 6 or 8 Gigabytes along with a 128 Gigabytes internal storage. The phone doesn’t have a MicroSD card slot inside. It runs on the MIUI 11 based on Android 10 out of the box, the phone is yet to receive its MIUI 12 update.

In the camera department, Mi Note 10 Lite uses a 64 megapixels main Sony IMX686 sensor along with an 8 megapixels ultrawide, 2 megapixels macro, and 5 megapixels depth camera. The camera app of this phone is feature-rich, but it doesn’t really unleash the real potential of its main camera sensor.

To pull the best use out of the Mi Note 10 Lite’s cameras, you can get your hands on the Google Camera. A working port of the GCam has made its way, thanks to the developer’s community.
