Smartphone cameras have come a long way since its evolution. I remember having mobile phones with 0.3 MP back camera and oh boy, it was a very big deal only to have a camera on your smartphone. Eventually, manufacturers paid attention to the improvement of camera quality, and with that started the evolution of mobile phone cameras. From 2MP to 5MP then shifting to standard 8 MP to 12 MP, and nowadays, a 48 MP sensor is becoming a rage for smartphone manufacturers. Not only the camera megapixels but the overall quality including the HDR, color level, software processing, and other technical aspects of a smartphone camera has also seen a huge leap.
A brilliant camera does not always mean having 1000s of megapixels. There are certain under the hood processing and combination of some other different modules that help us to achieve certain high quality of images from a smartphone. Moreover, today’s smartphone is not just a calling device, rather it has become a solution to most of our daily tasks and problems and not only that we often rely too much on our smartphones for taking images, recording videos and listening music, etc as it is the most convenient device to carry around. So today, I have compiled a list of 5 best Panorama Applications for Android.
There is a huge bunch of camera application that allows you to do this and also the stock camera app will also let you do so. But, my perspective is, if there are options then why not test and try them out because you never know, you might end up having the best among them. Moreover, with the increase in the picture quality in today’s smartphone camera can produce, it has become a much-needed to have more and more picture taking features in a smartphone. We have a wide angle, 3D depth effect, portrait mode, blurred effect, and much more. But, panorama especially is good when you want to take images with a tall building or you just want to capture everything around you.
So, without further ado, let us get straight into the article;

3. Photaf Panorama (Free)
Now this application during my research came up many times as one of the best panorama image cameras. The Photaf Panorama (Free) is a nice application but, one thing to note is that it contains ads. You need to buy the pro version of the app to get rid of ads, set your panorama images as live wallpapers, unlock the HD mode, or use the camera in portrait mode. Moreover, if you want to improve your panorama image capturing quality then, you can visit the website www. photoaf.com to get tips and tricks on how to improve.
Like any other app you need to start taking a panorama image by moving left to right and once you are done, see the beautiful panorama with the help of the phone’s compass or gyroscope or use the touch screen to see the whole image. The main features of the application include automatic image stitching, 360 panorama creation, upload your images to Photaf.com website and view it from your computer, export to gallery folder, etc.

Now I use Instagram very often and I love to share my happy moments or something that I think is worth sharing with my followers. This application is made for Instagram and it enhances the productivity of the application which is already the best social media app. This application lets you share movable panorama images to your Instagram Feed. What this app does is it lets you create a panorama image and splits it into parts so that when you upload it on your feed, it will be a continuous wide image.
This gives you more productivity with the new multi-posts feature of Instagram. Moreover, other features include split up to 10 pictures with one touch, crop/resize/rotate or zoom in with one app, adjustable sizes as supported by Instagram (ratios 16:9 – 4:5), HD photo quality, preview your photos and save them to the gallery of your device.
