Google Camera
[Price: Free]
Google Camera was released by (you guessed it) Google earlier this year. It was massively popular for a while and it is a pretty functional camera app. The claim to fame for this one is its ability to do stuff like the Photosphere or Lens Blur Mode that lets you take a different kind of picture. It’s highly rated but do beware that like the DSLR Camera app above, some of these features are dependent on what phone you’re using. Not all phones can use all of these features. Thankfully it’s free so you won’t waste any money trying it out!

LINE Camera
[Price: Free]
LINE Camera is one of the newer additions to our list and for good reason. It’s one of the most popular camera apps available for Android right now and it has a boatload of features. This includes in-app photo editing, 20 filters, frames, stamps, and various other editing tools. It focuses more on post-shot editing than anything else, but people who have used this app seem content with this. You can’t really go wrong giving this one a shot because tens of millions already have.

Otaku Camera
[Price: Free]
Otaku Camera is another one of those specialized camera apps for Android. Unlike Camera360 Ultimate or Camera MX, which are for more general purposes, Otaku Camera is basically only appealing to manga and anime fans. It has a special filter with some frames and graphic overlays that can turn any picture into a manga picture. It’s really quite unique and if you’re into that sort of thing then this camera is worth checking out. On top of the manga-style pictures, people can download other themes that feature other filters. We quite liked the meme filter which overlaid a meme of your choice over pictures you take.

Paper Camera
[Price: $1.99]
Paper Camera is up next on our list of the best camera apps for Android. However, it is also among the most popular and the highest ranked. We thought that a little odd since the camera has a single filter, but people apparently really love that filter. There is nothing wrong with that because Paper Camera also happens to be fun to use and fun to look at. It does have that single filter, but you can customize it to fit your needs. It’ll show your picture and video with the filter before you take the picture so you can line up that perfect shot with the filter already applied.
