Download Google Camera for Sony Xperia 5 V [Gcam 8.9 Port]

The Sony Xperia 5 V features an impressive triple lens camera system. This device packs a high-res 48MP main sensor and 12MP ultra-wide angle lens for capturing stunning, detailed shots. However, to take mobile photography to the next level, the Sony benefits greatly from installing the Google Camera (GCam) mod.

This article provides a guide on how Xperia 5 V owners can download and install GCam to unlock advanced capabilities like Night Sight and Astrophotography modes. We share links to download the latest GCam ports optimized specifically for the Xperia 5 V’s powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset.

While Sony’s native camera apps are exceptionally capable, GCam integrates Google’s superior low-light and HDR processing. For mobile shooters wanting more creative control, we detail recommended settings to optimize the GCam experience on your device. Feel free to tweak configurations to suit your specific photography needs and style.

The Sony Xperia 5 V is ready for Camera2 API, making it super easy to install the GCam app. We’ve got the latest GCam versions from BSG for you – GCam 8.9 and the steadier GCam 8.1. Both versions come with cool features like Astrophotography and Night Sight.

Heads up: Don’t forget to remove old GCam versions before adding a new one. These versions aren’t official, so you might find some glitches.

To get the best from MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV2b_MGC.apk, do this:

Save the configuration file on your device. Make a new folder in File Manager named “GCam” and inside that, another called “Configs8.” Put the config file you downloaded into the Configs8 folder. Open Google Camera, swipe down to see settings, tap ‘Configs’, and load your config file. Setting up GCam 8.9 is pretty straightforward, but you can tweak the settings to match your photography style.
