I tried this gcam port. It is not as good as the Xiaomi in high resolution. It has colour distortion when HDR was enabled.
Maximum resolution is still achieved with HDR enabled but it peaks at 3600 lines vertical. Mi camera can achieve up to 4800 lines vertical.
Google version 5.1.018 port cannot be downloaded.

Hei Redmi Note 8 Pro users,
Wassup? Hope everyone is good. Today, I bring good
tidings. What is it? The newly launched Redmi Note 8 Pro is equipped
with a high resolution 64-megapixel Samsung GW1 sensor, which is paired
with an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens, a 2-megapixel macro lens and a
2-megapixel depth sensor. For selfie and video calling, it comes with a
20 MP camera in front, powered by MediaTek Helio G90T SoC and backed
with a large 4,500mAh battery. Now, we are blessed with the GCam. Thanks
to Arnova8G2 and BSG for porting GCam for us. Let's do it.

Installing Google Camera (GCam)
Download from the links below. 
To Load XML Configs: How to Load/Save XML Configs for GCam (Google Camera)
Next, once downloaded, go-to your
File manager, click the downloaded GCam Apk OR click & install right
from the floating message from the screen pull-down notification.
Enable "Allow from this source" options followed by
clicking "Install" to accept the installation of Camera. You can click
"Cancel" during the installation but you think GCam is not for you.
After Mi Security check, click "Open" and Walla!, it's launching flawlessly. Now you can start shooting at will.
Next, allow all required permission for GCam to function.

Thoughts
Well, I am again amazed with the stunning pictures with GCam. It's a must have tool, especially for Redmi Note 8 Pro considering it is equipped with the state of art lens and camera setup. With Google Camera you could enjoy the features of the latest Pixel 3. It just gives every camera shooter a sense of gratification and renewed perspective in Mobile Photography with GCam. Once again my gratitude to both Arnova8G2 and BSG for doing a great job even though there more work to be done to get the mod to perfection and everything to work as it is. From my experiment GCam V6.1.021 failed at Portrait mode, Night Sight mode returned a black screen meanwhile Video mode and Slow Motion mode simply crashed. For a better experience GCam V5.1.018 works flawlessly, minus the Night Sight, Photobooth and Portrait features. I will update the thread once I have more pictures taken and latest version available. Thanks.
