JE Technology Desk:Â Google will likely announce the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro as an upgrade to the current Pixel 7 flagship series later this year. While we have seen numerous leaks around its processor and temperature monitoring capabilities, a fresh report by Android Authority revealed the entire camera specifications, including a few software features of the upcoming Pixel 8 series phones.
Citing a source from Google, the platform shared the primary upgrade will be the Samsung ISOCELL GN2 main lens which could capture more light for brighter photos in light-deficient conditions and improve shutter speeds. To give you a better picture of the leaks, here is a phone-wise breakup of the camera specs:

The report adds that the phones may have an “adaptive torch” to adjust the light intensity based on the surroundings and enhance overall night photography.
While the primary camera sensor and the hardware chip – Tensor G3, support 8K video recording at 30fps, the smartphones may still stick to 4K at 60fps footage due to thermal issues.
