The Samsung ISOCELL GN2 is a new primary camera sensor integrated into both the phones. The GN1 sensor used by the Pixel 6 and 7 has been replaced by this 50MP sensor. Due to its increased size, the sensor can capture about 35% more light than before. Staggered HDR, which was also rumored to come to the Pixel, and 8K video recording are both technically supported by the new sensor.
The Pixel 8 Pro’s time-of-flight sensor will also receive a special upgrade in the form of a new 8×8 ToF VL53L8 sensor. The Pixel 8 Pro has a newer version of this sensor that could provide significant improvements to autofocus. Melexis MLX90632 is said to be the temperature sensor of the Pro, which confirms the previous rumours. Thermal imaging would not be available in this area due to the high cost of this one component.

The ultrawide cameras of both the phones have also been improved. It appears that the ultrawide camera of Pixel 8 Pro will be 64MP Sony IMX787. The Pixel 7a’s primary camera has this sensor, which is a significant improvement over the 12MP sensor Google is using for ultrawide. It is speculated that the new device will not include the macro mode found on the Pixel 7 Pro. The ultrawide lens on the Pixel 8 will be replaced by the 12MP Sony IMX386.
