Chrome Remote Desktop exits beta, now available for download
Hot on the heels of the official Google Camera landing in the Play Store is the Chrome Remote Desktop app! It was found to be in beta a couple of weeks ago, though only a few select lucky users were able to get their sweaty palms on it. Thankfully it didn’t take long for Google’s engineers to finalize everything.
The app is simple in concept: it allows you to view an control any PC that has Google Chrome with the remote desktop extension installed. Setup is about two minutes and pain-free, and once you’re done you’ll be able to do anything you need on your computer from afar (whether it’s from your smartphone, a tablet or even another PC). Make no delay in grabbing it here if it’s something you’ve been waiting on.
Official Google Camera app available for download in the Play Store [Video]
Taking a quick stroll through Google’s applications on the Play Store this morning? You may have noticed that a newcomer has entered the fold, with an official Google Camera app being available to download at this very moment.
It’s a pretty clean camera app that gives you all the features you’ve come to expect from typical photo-snapping experiences, as well as some other unique things Google’s known for. The most notable is the addition of Photo Spheres, something Google implemented a long while ago but not many OEMs have incorporated into their own camera solutions.
Here’s what else you can expect from the app:
- Photo Spheres for immersive 360º views
- Lens Blur mode for SLR-like photos with shallow depth of field
- Panorama mode with high resolution
- 100% viewfinder for getting the maximum resolution from the sensor (no dropped pixels)
- Updated UI that gets out of your way and is centered on an extra large capture button
And that’s just the start of it. We’re sure Google will be looking to add a lot more to the experience with updates over time, but for now be sure to head to the Google Play Store and dive in!
Note: Google says this will only work for those on Android 4.4 KitKat and higher, so don’t bother if you aren’t up to date.
