Now the camera is one of the most important factors present in smartphones. With the presence of a good camera, it can attract potential smartphone buyers.
Even the competition for the ability of front and rear cameras from each smartphone vendor has begun to be discussed by various people around the world. Even the two main cameras on the back are one of the things that are usually present in today’s smartphones.
With the presence of these two main cameras, it allows users to produce interesting photos thanks to the presence of an effect (background blur) that can be manipulated instantly and quickly as needed.
In fact, usually a dual camera smartphone can allow users to be able to adjust the level of blur before and after the photo is taken. This bokeh effect photo will make the object in focus, but the background is blurry so it will look artistic and professional.
However, it is different from Google which can produce camera bokeh effects using only one camera. You could say the engineering of the camera bokeh effect made by Google is already contained in the latest Google Camera application.
Although initially, this Google Camera was intended for Google Pixel and Pixel 2 smartphones. But now the developers, especially those present in the XDA Developers forum, have developed a port of Google Camera so that it can be used on other smartphones.
Well, to prove the reliability of this Google Camera, the XiaomiDevices team conducted a test on a smartphone included in the Android One project, namely the Xiaomi Mi A1. Unlike other Xiaomi smartphones that use MIUI 9, this Mi A1 uses a pure Android operating system.
If some Xiaomi smartphones with MIUI have to be rooted first to enjoy this application, it is different from the Xiaomi Mi A1 which can already use Google Camera without requiring root.

At a glance, you can also specify several photo modes by selecting the three-line menu on the left of the application, starting from Slow Motion, Panorama, Photo Sphere, and Portrait. I tried Portrait mode and had great results.
Even I can produce bokeh effect photos (background blur) neatly and sharply using Portrait mode. In addition, the HDR + feature is able to make night photos bright and clear.
