While taking pictures using your Android's built-in camera is typically rather good, sometimes using third-party software may really add some extra punch to your snapshots. 

You can do a lot more with your smartphone's camera than you probably realize. All you need to do is download and use one of the finest third-party Android camera apps. They often include a variety of manual settings, real-time filters, and creative add-ons!

Android CentralAndroid Authority, and Expert Photography all agree that many camera apps provide a wide range of useful functions and capabilities. However, to help you take your pick, I have compiled a list of the top ten that you shouldn't miss. 

Adobe Lightroom

Photoshop Lightroom is more of a photo editor, though it has a camera app. The camera has HDR, RAW capabilities, and many settings and presets. It also features manual camera controls. 

Adobe Lightroom is one of the finest picture editor programs for smartphones, so you can utilize the camera app and instantly begin editing.

Instagram

With Instagram, you may snap a photo and edit it in the app to add effects, music, or filters. You may also post 15-second Insta Reels to your main feed or Stories. Instagram's social media feature makes it a great way to share your day or follow brands and celebs. It makes sharing photos easy from within the app. 

Camera FV-5

Due to a lack of upgrades, camera FV-5 was deleted. But FGAE wasn't done. Camera FV-5's current version is even better. It features manual controls, exposure bracketing, and an intervalometer.

VSCO 

VSCO is a popular camera app and photo editor, but its camera isn't as powerful as most latest smartphones. The picture editor is the app's finest, though. Filters, effects, and settings are available. It contains most of these videos as video material, too. Its ability to mimic other cameras is remarkable. 

Camera Zoom FX Premium 

Camera Zoom FX Premium has great manual controls for Android cameras. The camera interface is simple. Despite the number of functionality, menus aren't confusing. Every option and function is accessible, and switching between them is no trouble. 

It features a reliable, responsive manual focus. Burst Mode captures 50 frames/sec. ISO, HDR, and white balance are provided in the camera settings. The composition overlays are neat, too. 

Filmic Pro

Filmic Pro includes manual controls. It features sliders for exposure and focus, white balance, and a gamma curve. It has analytics, live RGB adjustment, and more. 

It got off to a rocky start. The developers seem to be actively incorporating user comments and fixing errors.

ProCam X

ProCam X is a recent camera app that works well. It emphasizes professional features beyond filters and social media-style content. 

Burst mode, face recognition, 4k video recording, and RAW are included. Manual controls, shutter sound off, and scene and focus settings are also available. It's a reliable third-party tool with decent post-processing.

SayCheese 

SayCheese is one cool remote camera app. It enables you to connect to a friend's phone and use their camera. This is a great option when you don't have anybody to snap a group shot. 

The software is in early access beta. Thus there are issues, and upgrades to improve stability are recommended.

Pixtica

Pixtica has a neat, straightforward UI. As a point-and-shoot, it takes great photos with minimal effort. 

Manual settings provide additional control. You can adjust ISO and shutter speed for various photographic styles. The filter selection is superb, and you receive a real-time preview before taking the photo.

Open Camera

Another Android app with manual controls is Open Camera. You can point-and-shoot with high-quality photographs in auto mode. Manual adjustments include ISO, shutter speed, and exposure correction.

Open Camera offers composition-helping grid overlays. Noise reduction and dynamic range make photographs crisp in low light.
