Google camera for Moto Z3 Play

Does anyone know how to install the most featured and most stable version of Google camera (pixel camera) in my Moto Z3 Play? Thanks in advance.
 
The latest version of Google's Camera app is by design only intended to fully functional on a Pixel so you'll just have to accept that if you want all those neat features in the current version, you need to get a Pixel phone.

"Requirements - The latest version of Google Camera only works on Pixel phones on Android 9.0.0 and above. Some features are not available on all devices."
Apparently it's just a matter with this latest Google Camera app version is it's optimized to work more or less specifically with the camera module in a Pixel.

"Whilst Google Camera is now made solely for specific device hardware, in mid-2017, a developer created a modified version of Google Camera for any smartphone equipped with either a Snapdragon 820, 821 or 835 processor."
You might want to try manually installing an older version (note this won't give you the exact same feature set as the latest version):

Is there a particular problem you're having using the default camera app on your Z3 or is this just a matter where you want something with more features?
My favorite camera app is Mark Harmon's Open Camera. It has a really nice, very extensive feature set:

Thanks for the info. I'm actually looking for something better at capturing images at low light. It's a shame that with all the cool features of this Z3, their own camera doesn't feel reasonably good to me.
