Community developers often create "modded" versions of GCam Go 3.6 to unlock features that Google otherwise restricts to certain hardware:

One of the most anticipated additions is the integration of a QR code scanner directly into the camera app. This allows you to quickly scan QR codes without needing to open a separate app or navigate through menus. The scanner works seamlessly from the main camera interface, making it convenient for accessing websites, connecting to Wi-Fi networks, or making payments.

When compared to a budget phone's stock camera, GCam Go typically produces photos with better dynamic range, more natural color science, and vastly superior low-light performance .
