According to a well-known tipster, Google plus could be putting a new sensor in its Pixel 8 that would open the door to a new world of image processing.
Last October we checked the specs of the Google plus Pixel 7 Pro cameras and while we’ve already had the oportunidad to analyze the device, we confirmed that Google plus will do it Remain on the throne of mobile photography For long. Few phones these days have cameras that cánido match the Big G’s combination of hardware and programa.
And it seems the people of Mountain View have no intention of relinquishing their privileged position. As reported by Android Authority, The first details about the Google plus Pixel 8 camera have been leaked and everything points to significant improvements in the next iteration.
This is the twist that Google plus will give to its camera
Google plus phones may have offered HDR+ technology for their photos for a while, but according to Kuba Wojciechowski’s consejos, the 2023 model has to have it tiered HDR support. Apparently, the Samsung Isocell GN2 sensor offers this possibility, which according to him suggests that we could see it in the Pixel 8.
And how does that compare to Google plus’s current technology? Currently, HDR+ technology is based on the acquisition of a a series of photos in a very short time, five to be precise since the jump to HDR+ was made. Those five shots are taken when you long-press the camera button, and one longer-exposure shot when you crop it.
The technology that will be integrated into these phones with the new Samsung sensor it offers a different approach. Three photos are taken in rapid succession with three different exposure times (short, medium and long) and then combined into a single image. The missing feature of HDR+ technology is exposure time averaging.

Samsung’s secret to its new sensor is phase HDR More details and more vivid colors will be available than the GN1 and adds that energy consumption is reduced by 24%. Samsung also confirmed that HDR is faster than the traditional solutions.
That generally means not only capturing HDR photos in less time, but also when you upgrade to Isocell GN2 It would help improve low light photos. Let’s remember that Google plus is already working on it and it would not be unreasonable if its solution could be integrated into the new Pixel and the new sensor.
