After debuting at the end of June, the Blackmagic Camera for Android app version 1.1 is adding support for several new devices, including the Google Pixel 6 series and several OnePlus, Samsung, and Xiaomi smartphones.

Announced via Threads, the Blackmagic Camera 1.1 for Android also includes a number of new features including HDMI monitoring support, pull focus transition controls, plus support for Blackmagic Cloud for Organizations. This allows you to create groups or teams to quickly share projects.

3D LUTs are also now supported during recording and monitoring. You are also able to dim the screen while recording, which will be useful in darker environments. Some image retouching tools, including noise reduction and sharpening, can also be applied to your footage. Performance of the app has also been improved.

These functions make the app more robust, but this update also adds support for more Google devices, including the Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, and Pixel 6a. That’s not all: Blackmagic Camera 1.1 also now works with the Samsung Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S22 series, Xiaomi 13 and 14 series, and the OnePlus 11 and 12 series. Sadly, it seems that the Pixel Fold is still not supported at this stage.
