Sensors are important in the mobile photography segment, but the use of computational photography and artificial intelligence systems is becoming increasingly important. Little is known about this at Google, but now a new leak has revealed that we’ll see even more news at the upcoming launch of the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. Some of these, yes, are controversial.

Sensors are getting better. Leak published by Kamila Wojciechowska This reveals almost all the secrets of mobile phones your specifications and photography section. Notable improvements come here, but the most relevant ones go to the Pixel 8 Pro. This model will have a 48 Megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera and a 48 Megapixel telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom. The main sensor, that is, 50 Mpixel, will also be included in Pixel 8, but there is no telephoto in this model and the ultra wide angle consists of a 12 Mpixel sensor.

And technical specifications too. This data is complemented by the presence of the new Google Tensor G3 with Titan M2 security chip on both devices, 8 GB RAM on the Pixel 8 and 12 GB RAM on the Pixel 8 Pro. The diagonal of Pixel 8 will be 6.2. inch size, it will have a refresh rate ranging from 60 to 120 Hz and a brightness of up to 2,000 nits, while the 8 Pro will have a 6.7-inch diagonal and a speed of 1 to 120 Hz and a brightness of up to 2,400 nits. Pixel 8 will have 4,575 mAh (27W fast charging), while Pixel 8 Pro will have 5,050 mAh (30W fast charging).

Good for cameras that (slightly) correct photos. There is also an eye-catching promotional video filtered Posted by this user on 91Mobiles. He talks about improvements in the field of video recording, where AI will be responsible for helping stabilize and smooth movement. It will also enhance these clips in low-light conditions, thus automatically enabling a sort of “night mode” for such videos.

No background noise. These improvements to video recording also take into account the removal of background noise with the “Audio Eraser”. Thanks to this technology, it is possible to eliminate the ambulance sound, for example, when recording a street artist playing the cello.

From zoom to macro. At Google they’re also continuing this quest for perfect capture of skin tones on black people, while also continuing their commitment to astrophotography and new techniques to improve the ability to zoom in on images and even simulate macro modes, according to the company they make “mini mega.”

DSLR controls. It looks like it will be a particularly notable mode for advanced photographers who will be able to control parameters like shutter speed or ISO speed. There will even be a new focus selection mode that allows you to determine with a small slider which point of focus the final photo has on any given image.

This photo is (a bit) a lie. From there, the video tells us about new options introduced at Google I/O this year called the “Magic Editor” that go beyond the purpose of the magic eraser. So, thanks to the mixture of various shots in the same environment, it will be possible to take a perfect group photo, which will ultimately turn out with their perfect face, even if someone closes their eyes or looks strange. This is actually something that Microsoft introduced in 2006 but has now been implemented natively with this unique editor. Therefore, the final photo will not be authentic, but it will definitely avoid such problems that usually occur in group photos.

A sunset like never before. In another unique example, the video shows how a girl takes photos on the beach on a somewhat boring day. With the magic editor, every object and person was removed from the photo in two seconds, repositioned so that the girl was in the center, and the most shocking thing, that cloudy and slightly boring day turned into a beautiful sunset. We suddenly changed from reality to what we wanted it to be.

User decides. Of course, whether the photos we take are natural or modified (or transformed to that level) is the personal decision of each user. Manufacturers have been offering options to edit and enhance photos for years, but Google’s tool certainly stands out in this capacity.

Seven years of support. There is more striking data in that leak. The first is that the Pixel 8/Pro will have up to seven years of security updates. It’s not clear exactly how many OS updates it has since the Pixel 7 has five years of security updates and three Android OS updates. Secondly, and most importantly, the prices: According to leaked data, Pixel 8 will start at $699 and Pixel 8 Pro will start at $899. We will be able to verify all this data in just two weeks, because its official presentation, which has already been confirmed, will take place on October 4.
