Some serious camera upgrades are rumored for the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro phones arriving in October.
As the months roll round to the expected October launch window for the Google Pixel 8, we’re hearing more and more rumors about what the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro will bring with them. And today, we’re talking about the cameras.
According to Android Authority, the Pixel 8 series is going to bring with it a significant upgrade in the camera department. Specifically, the main Samsung ISOCELL GN1 sensor is apparently going to be swapped out for the larger Samsung ISOCELL GN2 upgrade.
That larger sensor means around 35% more light can be captured – not only does that ensure better performance in low light scenarios, it also means faster shutter speeds (and less motion blur) no matter what the lighting conditions.Ultrawide and telephoto
There’s more: on the Pixel 8 Pro, the ultrawide sensor is said to be getting an upgrade from the 12MP Sony IMX386 to the 64MP Sony IMX787 – that happens to be the primary camera sensor that you’ll find in the Google Pixel 7a.
