Pixel 8 and 8 Pro camera specifications revealed; A remarkable development

According to a new rumor, Google will use a more advanced camera for the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro phones than the previous generation and go for the sensor used in the Galaxy S22 and S23 series phones.

Today’s report It says that Google will use Samsung’s ISOCELL GN2 sensor for its next-generation smartphones, which is a significant improvement over the sensor used in previous generations. Google is using the ISOCELL GN1 sensor from the Pixel 6 series.

Pixel 8 and 8 Pro camera will have a significant improvement

Of course, the Pixel 8 continues to use the Sony IMX386 sensor. The selfie camera of Pixel 8 and 8 Pro will probably not change compared to the previous generation.

In addition to the hardware changes, apparently Google wants to implement improvements in the software field. The company will update its camera app and provide Pixel users with features such as the ability to set the amount of bokeh effect.
