    The OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G first made its debut in April 2022. Notably, this smartphone bears a strong resemblance to its successor, the Nord CE 3 Lite 5G (GCam here), featuring the same Snapdragon 695 SoC, battery capacity, and a camera setup that is mostly identical, with the exception of the primary camera sensor. Despite its age, it’s no surprise that the Nord CE 2 Lite 5G remains popular among users. For those who own this device and wish to enhance its camera performance, a GCam port is now available for the Nord CE 2 Lite 5G.

    What is GCam

    GCam, an abbreviation for Google Camera, is a camera application developed by Google specifically for their Pixel smartphones. It has gained a reputation for its ability to capture exceptional photos, particularly in challenging low-light conditions, which has garnered high praise for Pixel phones.

    However, GCam offers more than just superior picture quality. It includes a range of valuable features, including Night Sight, Panorama, Motion Photos, Lens Blur, and even a dedicated mode for capturing stars and night skies known as Astrophotography. Community developers put in efforts to adapt GCam for use on other Android phones, and this modified version is commonly referred to as a GCam port.
