Pixel 8 and 8 Pro will have a larger 50MP main camera
Pixel 8 Pro will get a new 64MP ultrawide shooter
The Pixel 8 Pro will apparently use the Pixel 7a’s 64MP Sony IMX787 sensor as an ultrawide camera. It’s almost twice as large as the Pixel 7 Pro’s 12MP Sony IMX386 camera and the lens will also be wider. It’s possible that the phone might not have a macro mode.
New time-of-flight (ToF) sensor for the Pixel 8 Pro
Pixel 6 and Pixel 7 have a time-of-flight (ToF) sensor to help with the autofocus. The phones currently use the STMicroelectronics VL53L1 sensor but the Pixel 8 Pro may feature a new 8×8 ToF VL53L8 sensor which should improve autofocus further.
New software-based camera features
The Pixel 8 duo could come with a new “Adaptive torch” feature that will configure the flash intensity according to the scene and other inputs such as which capture mode is being used. This should help improve low-light images and prevent overexposed pictures.
The Pixel 8 series will likely be announced in October and is expected to have the same overall design as the current generation, though the Pro model might have a flat screen.
