Google’s upcoming flagship smartphone, the Pixel 8 Pro, is set to feature Samsung’s biggest camera sensor yet. The ISOCELL GN2 camera sensor, launched by Samsung two years ago, boasts a 1/1.12-inch sensor with a 50MP resolution. The sensor’s pixel size measures 1.4μm, which can increase to 2.8μm with a 4-in-1 pixel binning process, making it ideal for low-light conditions. In contrast, the ISOCELL HP2 camera sensor, used in Samsung’s Galaxy S23 Ultra, features 2.4μm pixels after 16-in-1 pixel binning.

The ISOCELL GN2 camera sensor can also produce 100MP images using a remosaic algorithm and record 8K videos at 30fps, 4K videos at 120fps, and Full HD videos at 480fps. It features Dual Pixel Pro autofocus for quick, reliable, and accurate focusing and Staggered HDR, which uses 24% less power than regular HDR and can retain details in highlights and shadows.

Google has been using Samsung’s camera sensors, display panels, modems, and other electronic components since the launch of the Pixel 6 series and will continue to do so with its next-generation Pixel smartphones. With the ISOCELL GN2 camera sensor, Google’s Pixel 8 Pro will be using a bigger camera sensor than Samsung’s Galaxy S23 Ultra, further positioning itself as a top contender in the smartphone camera market.

While almost all smartphone brands except Samsung are moving closer to a 1-inch camera sensor on their flagship smartphones, Google’s choice to go with the ISOCELL GN2 camera sensor showcases their commitment to providing top-of-the-line camera technology to their customers. The Pixel 8 Pro is set to be an exciting addition to the Pixel series and a promising contender in the flagship smartphone market.
