The one you'll get if you install it from Play. (The same software level has different version numbers for different phones.)

Or you can try one of the other camera apps - there are many of them, and most weren't developed by Google. (There's no Pixel 3 version of Camera that will run on the S5. If it did, you'd have a very slow camera. It has to be a port to run on a phone like the S5, and - aside from the fact that no one is porting things to the S5 any more - you wouldn't get any of th benefits - portrait mode, Night Sight and HDR (and +) would have to be taken out. A lot of that is done in the Visual Core chip, which no phone other than Pixel 2s and 3s have [so far - the 4 will].)

I plan to give my S5 to my wife. I guess the best way to make the transition would be to do a factory reset. I want to install applications from scratch as though it was new out of the box. Any tips? Thanks.
