Deep-Dive: Android Camera2 Architecture & Recording Modes
Cametas for Android utilizes direct OpenGL ES 3.2 shaders and Android MediaCodec NDK hardware pipelines. On flagship devices (Samsung Galaxy S21–S24, Google Pixel 6–9, Xiaomi, OnePlus), Cametas captures both physical camera sensors simultaneously without dropped frames or thermal throttling.
