Pixel 8 Pro could use Samsung’s largest ISOCELL sensor

The Google Pixel 8 series is still a few months away, but according to a well-known insider on Samsung-related things, the 8 Pro could benefit from a major main camera upgrade.

The report says the Pixel 8 Pro will use Samsung’s larger ISOCELL GN2 sensor, which measures 1/1.12 inch and has a native resolution of 50MP, 12.5MP after binning. This gives an effective pixel size of 2.8 µm. It’s a big upgrade over last year’s Pixel 7 Pro which rolls with a 50MP, 1/1.31-inch sensor.

It seems many flagship models are moving to 1-inch sensors, so it would make perfect sense for Google to upgrade the sensor size on its flagship camera as well. Always, ice universe didn’t elaborate further, so we’ll have to wait a bit longer for all the details.
