As of now, Camera 2 API cannot be enabled on Mediatek powered handsets. It's available only for Snapdragon powered handsets. SinCe, 5.1Plus runs on Mediatek Helio P60, it is not possible to enable Camera 2 API on this device, while on the other hand, 6.1 plus runs on Snapdragon 636, that's why Cam 2 API can be enabled on 6.1 O plus.
Prithu the Huawei P10 Plus has HiSilicon Kirin 960 and supports camera2 api (limited level) so thats not true only available on snapdragon. However if anyone knows for sure which CPUs supported please write an answer.
Dear nokia kindly enable camera 2 api in nokia X5 aka nokia 5.1 plus. It's default camera's low light performance and HDR is not that good. So please enbale it in next update.
