Just like it happens every year, the leaks surrounding the new Google Pixel devices are ramping up the closer we get to the Google I/O event date, which is set to take place on May 10th this year. However, one Pixel device that is not rumored to be announced at I/O, but that we are still getting a steady amount of leaked information on, is the Google Pixel 8 and 8 Pro.
Pixel 8 Pro may also use Samsung GN2 1/1.12 “

No further details were offered in regards to this leak, other than the sensor model. However, this has been enough to spark the interest of many smartphone photography enthusiasts that are already looking for that next level camera. Should the Pixel 8 Pro ship with this more advanced sensor, does that open up the possibility for a pro mode in the Google Camera app? Or will Google continue to rely on their computational photography prowess but use this larger sensor to improve upon it?
