Google presented Android GO for quite some time as the way that cheap mobiles with little RAM could function optimally thanks to having a limited operating system, but less demanding. Soon there were countless ” GO apps ” with reduced features aimed at meeting the needs of these users.
Among these apps is one of the latest developments in Google’s operating system, launched at the beginning of the year as part of an effort to bring high-end photography to low-end devices: Camera GO. We are talking about an app that deals with better or worse bring some of the top-of-the-range functions of Google to cheap mobiles using artificial intelligence technology, without exceeding the storage space and processing power requirements of Android GO.
With the launch of the application it was possible to bring the portrait mode to all these cheap phones but, as if that did not seem enough, now more features such as HDR mode and night mode are coming, something unthinkable for mobile phones whose price is around 100 euros.
Night mode and HDR mode for Camera GO
We start from the basis that it is absurd to try to compare the results of the Camera GO app with those of the GCam present in Google Pixels and other smartphones with which the photography app is compatible. But even if it doesn’t quite match the firm’s Night Sight capabilities, getting a similar photography night mode to work on devices with as low as 1GB of RAM is impressive.
Google claims, how could it be otherwise, that the new mode will allow users to capture images with brighter and more accurate colors even in low-light environments, such as indoors with low light or outdoors at night. Night mode can “capture simultaneous shots and merge them to produce clearer photos in low light, ” just like similar modes found on the big, high-end phones on the market.
To this we add an HDR mode that allows something similar, to merge several images to achieve a greater dynamic range in the highlights and in the shadows in order to avoid burned areas in the photographs or underexposed areas.
This Camera GO update will appear first on the Nokia 1.3 in 27 countries, although the same update should be available for more devices in the coming months.
