This is a portrait shot that removes fonts (Portrait Mode) on Pixel 2 without Pixel 2

Pixel 2 is one of the best camera phones today, especially the portrait mode. Google combines both the hardware and software of image processing technology, so with only one camera, the images produced more impressive results than cameras with 2 infrared sensors.

Thanks to a developer, you don't need to buy a Pixel 2 phone to use this great feature, just have an Android phone running Oreo .

Recently, Arnova8G2 developer has taken HDR and camera features on Pixel 2 to an application. That means every phone has a portrait mode like Galaxy S8, LG V30, HTC U11 can capture portraits like Pixel 2.

Arnova8G2 has edited Charles_I's Camera NX 7.3 application (a veteran of the previous XDA forum has shown that it can force Portrait Mode to work on other phones).

1. What is Portrait Mode? What is Portrait Lighting?

Tests showed that Xiaomi Mi 5.5S running LineageOS 25, OnePlus 3 and 3T running OxygenOS 5, Moto G5S Plus and even Galaxy Note 8 running Oreo Beta ROM all use this application.

Because Pixel 2 uses a split pixel system to increase the accuracy of the image depth map on the rear camera, it may not be perfect. But at the very least, it retains the features of the front camera.

It should be noted that this application may have errors or may not work on some devices. The device does not need to be root to use this application.

In addition, installing applications outside the Play Store should also be careful because there are many risks. But if you want to try it out, you can download it here.https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=889964283620775729
