Leaked online camera specifications for the Google Pixel 8 Pro suggest the upcoming smartphone will feature a camera sensor from Samsung. The successor to last year’s Pixel 7 Pro is expected to have a primary camera with a 50-megapixel resolution, using the Samsung ISOCELL GN2 camera sensor announced by Samsung in 2021. The Pixel 7 Pro and the Pixel 6 Pro were both equipped with the Samsung ISOCELL GN1 camera sensor. In contrast, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra uses Samsung’s latest 200-megapixel ISOCELL HP2 sensor.
According to tipster Ice Universe, the Pixel 8 Pro’s primary camera could feature the Samsung ISOCELL GN2 camera sensor, which offers better low-light results. The sensor uses quad pixel-binning technology to simulate a larger 2.8-micron pixel size. It also enables full-HD videos at 480fps, 4K videos at 120fps, and 8K videos at 30fps.
The inclusion of the Samsung ISOCELL GN2 camera sensor in the Pixel 8 Pro isn’t a new rumor. In December 2022, developer Kuba Wojciechowski spotted references to camera features of the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro that pointed to the same sensor being included in the upcoming smartphones.
Renders of cases for the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro surfaced online earlier this month, offering a glimpse into the smartphones’ designs. The renders suggest that the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro will have similar designs and rear camera modules to their predecessors.
Google will host its annual Google I/O developer conference next month. The company may offer customers a brief look at the Pixel 8 series, the Pixel 7a, and the rumored Pixel Fold at the event. However, the company has yet to confirm any plans to launch new hardware at the upcoming event.
