While both the standard and Pro models will see the GN2, that’s the only upgrade the standard-sized Pixel 8 is expected to receive. Meanwhile, the Pro gets a new ultrawide camera as well.
Expect a ton of camera upgrades for the Pixel 8 Pro and only one upgrade for the Pixel 8.
This time the Pixel 8 will move on from its dated 12MP Sony IMX386 over to a much more usable 64MP Sony IMX787 — the same sensor as the primary camera found on the Google pixel 7a. The telephoto should stay the same, and the thermometer feature discussed previously is also another upgrade.
Finally, the Pixel 8 Pro will also get an improved time-of-flight sensor. The device has a new 8×8 ToF VL53L8 sensor, a significant upgrade over the STMicroelectronics VL53L1 we’ve seen in previous Pixels. This should greatly improve autofocus.
Sustain the excellent work and producing in the group!
