Ever want to control your Google camera application from a distance?

Well big G has added a nifty little update that might tickle your fancy: youll soon be able to control your phone or tablets camera shutter from your Android Wear device.

Now the screen on your wearable wont double as a viewfinder, so youll need to make sure that the image is to your liking on your phones screen before you go ahead and start snapping away from your smartwatch.

What your smartwatch will be able to do is display a countdown timer of when the shutter will be pressed, so you can pose accordingly. It would be interesting to see what hackers are able to do with this feature, and all of the potential cool spy scenarios one would be able to re-enact with the phone/smartwatch combo.

Now the update hasnt rolled out to the Google Play Store yet, but, if you really want to try and start snapping photos from your wrist, then you can hit the source link below and download the APK.

For the best Android experience all of us prefer Nexus devices as those devices gets all the Android features and updates at first. When we compare Nexus devices with other manufactures own devices it will be very different from the Look and feel to its features. From the Android 4.2 update Google included a Photo Sphere along with other features, Which can can take immersive 360º images and wide angle shots. After 4.2 Google released Android 4.2.1 ,4.2.2 ,4.3 etc. most of the non Nexus devices didnt even got a chance to taste the Photo Sphere camera.

In this post i am included the Camera apk file which is pulled from Galaxy S4 Google Edition. The package included stock Gallery and Camera app. The app shots like the Nexus 4 and the captured 360º images can be viewed in the stock Gallery app. The apk is tested with many non rooted and rooted devices and works same as in Nexus 4.

Update:
In some phones the Camera and Gallery apps works fine, but Sphere camera option is not available.
