For instance, we receive many consumer complaints regarding missing features like call recording or a proper, separate gallery app. If you aren’t sure whether you will find a particular software in line with your taste, it’s generally safer to side with Google’s vision aka stock Android. Those looking for a capable and good-looking device that won’t absolutely break the bank should consider the Moto Edge 30 Fusion. It costs significantly less than $1,000, which is the current standard for high-end products. The Samsung Galaxy Core are also among the oldest Galaxy series. The Samsung Galaxy On series is a unique one in the Galaxy series, not with it’s specs but when it comes to it’s availability.

Unfortunately, the camera stops working on some phones after upgrading. We tested it on the Redmi Note 10, and according to reports, the new Xiaomi MIUI camera app doesn’t work also on the Redmi Note 10 Pro. Major Google Camera versions are usually released when Google releases a new device, but that seems to be changing as Google moves to multiple “feature updates” a year. Some of the new features can be used with the port on non-Google devices, while others can’t. Everything depends on how the feature works, the device’s hardware, and if it requires any support by the OS/ROM. After a long time, you can download the official HTC One M9 camera and gallery app on your phone. Theoretically, it should work on majority of devices, including Sony and LG.

• It’s usually called HDnet, instantaneous HDR or “fast HDR”.
• Once you have confirmed that your phone meets this requirement, you can download and install Gcam 8.5, which is an awesome camera app that supports almost all Android phones.

XDA Developers was founded by developers, for developers. It is now a valuable resource for people who want to make the most of their mobile devices, from customizing the look and feel to adding new functionality. If everything goes right, you should now have a custom Android ROM installed on your phone! It may take a while for the initial boot process so don’t panic, your phone will boot into the setup process.

While manufacturer and carrier additions can help, sometimes they can go a bit overboard. A clean UI will guarantee a much less convoluted experience. Not to mention the fact that having too much stored in a phone can affect memory usage, as well as performance. Nearly all phones out there have some form of software modification. This is why we have decided to recommend near-stock Android devices instead. The ASUS ZenFone 9 comes packed with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, up to a whopping 16GB of RAM, and as much as 256GB of storage. It also features an excellent 5.9-inch Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, an IP68 rating, and a 4,300mAh battery.

So, if you’ve just bought an Android device and done nothing to it, it is likely not rooted. Most computer peripherals are themselves special-purpose computers. Devices such as printers, scanners, webcams, and USB flash drives have internally-stored firmware; some devices may also permit field upgrading of their firmware. Nowadays this isn’t as big of a draw though, as most phones receive some level of update support.
