Google Pixel 8 Series Camera Specs Details Leak
An internal source leak from Google has provided us with detailed information about the camera setups on the upcoming Pixel 8 series. In the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, the main camera sensors will be upgraded to 50MP, with Samsung’s ISOCELL GN2 replacing the ISOCELL GN1 found in the Pixel 7 series.
According to the leak, the Pixel 8 will retain the 12MP Sony IMX386 ultrawide camera sensor from its predecessor. However, this time, the field of view will be slightly wider, offering a 0.55x zoom ratio compared to the 0.67x zoom ratio on the Pixel 7.
On the other hand, the Pixel 8 Pro will feature a new 64MP Sony IMX787 sensor for its ultrawide lens, offering a 0.49x zoom ratio. The Pro model will also keep the 48MP Samsung GM5 telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom. Additionally, the Pixel 8 Pro will introduce an 8×8 sensor time of flight (ToF) VL53L8 sensor, which is expected to enhance autofocus performance.
Both Pixel 8 phones will maintain the 11MP Samsung 3J1 front-facing cameras. Furthermore, it has been clarified that the previously leaked thermometer sensor will be exclusive to the Pixel 8 Pro. This sensor will utilize the Melexis MLX90632 body temperature sensor.
In terms of camera software, the Pixel 8 series will introduce new features. An adaptive torch feature will automatically adjust the LED flash intensity to prevent overexposed low-light shots and videos. Scene segmentation will enable selective AI processing for different parts of images. Additionally, cinematic mode videos will benefit from a new bokeh blur selection tool.
