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.

Sadly, it seems that the Pixel Fold is still not supported at this stage.
