According
to a report in Engadget, Google is working on an updated version of
stock Android camera app, which will be released in Google Play like
Google Keyboard or Search apps.
Engadget notes that Google is including a revamped user-interface,
background blurring effect for portraits as well as improved panorama
and Photo sphere in this app. Given the fact that it will come with
Google’s proprietary technology used in Photo sphere, the app will most
likely be dubbed as Google Camera.
“As part of its overhaul, we’re told that Google has finally fixed
issues with the default camera’s photo framing, allowing users to snap
images with a new 100 percent no-crop viewfinder. That means you’ll see
exactly what your Android device will capture before you hit the shutter
button, with no unwanted objects creeping in at the edges,” wrote Engadget’s Matt Brian.
In addition, the upcoming Google Camera app will support third-party
filters, giving the consumers more options to tweak and play with their
photographs. The developers will easily be able to create the supported
filters or effects for the app.
There is no word on when the app will be released in Google Play but
it is said to only support Android 4.4+ devices, so not everyone is
going to be happy when it lands in the Play Store.
