- Grazester 2y agoThat was true up until the Pixel 7 or something.
- ianburrell 2y agoIt was Pixel 6 that made a big jump in quality. From 8 MP in Pixel 5 to 50 MP in Pixel 6. They also added ultrawide and telephoto on Pro. They have a big jump in sensor size to larger than most compacts. The Pixel 8 has even big sensor. The big sensor is the reason for the camera hump on the back.
- xd1936 2y agoThey said they've rewritten the HDR+ image processing pipeline from scratch for the first time in their live event. Not sure about the Pixel 9 hardware... I think the Pixel 8 was the first new sensor in a while though.
- izacus 2y agoThe sensors are supposed to be new (except for the fold)
- spankalee 2y agoThe front camera is a big upgrade: 10.5 MP to 42 MP from the 8 Pro to 9 Pro. The rear wide camera looks the same, but the rear ultrawide seems like it has a small upgrade. Better aperture at least.
- DataDive 2y ago> The front camera is a big upgrade: 10.5 MP to 42 MP from the 8 Pro to 9 Pro. 42MP??? Wouldn't that just rapidly fill up the storage for most of their users with little if any other tangible benefit ... maybe that is part of the plan :-) ... the profit
- atrus 2y agoFront Camera though, so mostly for video chats.
