Xiaomi released the Redmi K20 (Xiaomi Mi 9T) and Redmi K20 Pro (Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro) last year. The devices sport a triple rear camera setup on the rear, with a 48-megapixel primary sensor, 13-megapixel ultra-wide-angle sensor, and an 8-megapixel telephoto lens. And on the front, there’s a 20 MP pop-up selfie camera.
Although the devices are capable of clicking pretty decent pictures, yet several users feel that the stock MIUI camera app doesn’t utilize the full potential of the available hardware and that the camera’s performance can be improved to a great extent. You if feel the same, then you must give a try to the Google Camera Port on your Redmi K20 or K20 Pro.

Installing the ported version of the Google Camera app not only improves the camera quality of your phone but also enables you to use Pixel camera features like Astrophotography Mode, Portrait Mode, Night Sight, HDR+, and more.

Google Camera Ports for Xiaomi Redmi K20 & K20 Pro
There’s a long list of developers, who voluntarily develop and provide their Google Camera ports on this website. Some of these are built specifically for a certain device, while some others are more generic and work across different smartphones.
So, while there are several ports that will work on the phone, but they might not be as stable or support every camera feature. And that’s the main purpose of this post, to help you get the latest and most stable Google Camera port for your Redmi K20 and Redmi K20 Pro.
At the moment, GCam ports from developers Burial, jairo rossi, onFire, UltraM8, and Urnyx05 are the ones that work really well on this phone. Their individual ports are based on Google Camera app version 7.3.020 and older version v6.2.030.
According to the users of the official GCam Telegram group, these are the best and most stable ports available for the phone. Each port has its own exclusive features and so, you could try all of them and finalize which one works the best for your requirements.
Important notes:
- All these ports support Android 10 (MIUI 12 & MIUI 11) and Android 9 Pie.
- When switching or updating ports, make sure to clear the Google Camera app’s data and cache via the settings before installing another port.

To do so, simply download the config file (XML format) for the port you’re using and copy it to <internal storage>/GCam/Configs7 folder (Create the folders if not already present).
