The Google Pixel 9 series will reportedly launch next month. However, the camera specifications of all four models of the Pixel 9 series have been revealed in advance thanks to a source inside Google (via Android Authority). According to the report, the Pixel 9 series comes with major enhancements in the camera hardware.
Google Pixel 9
The regular Pixel 9 is reportedly replacing the Sony IMX386 ultrawide with the new Sony IMX 858 sensor. The new sensor is slightly larger at 1/2.51” as compared to the 1/2.8” size of the previous one. The new sensor for the ultrawide also has a much higher 50MP resolution than the previous 12MP one, which is also expected to offer better details.
The selfie camera will use autofocus like the Pixel 8 Pro. However it will use the same ISOCELL 3J1 sensor. The main camera will also use the same ISOCELL GNK sensor as the predecessor. The Pixel 8 has a fixed focus selfie camera that can offer less sharp photos when taken from a closer distance. Thankfully, this is going to change starting with Pixel 9.
Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL
As you can see from the image, both phones will be equipped with the same camera hardware. According to the source, both the periscope telephoto and the ultrawide of the two models will use the Sone IMX 858 sensor, which is also used in the ultrawide of the standard Pixel 9. This new 50MP Sony sensor replaces the 48MP telephoto and ultrawide sensors of the Pixel 8 Pro.
The main camera of the two models continues to use the same ISOCELL GNK sensor. The front camera of the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL will also use the same Sone IMX 858 sensor. This is a major upgrade (at least in terms of resolution) as it replaces the 10.5MP 1/3.1″ sensor of the Pixel 8 Pro.
