Google Pixel 8 could use Samsung’s ISOCELL GN2 sensor. The Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro are now rumoured to be the tech giant’s next offerings. Google’s next-generation flagship smartphones will reportedly enable staggered HDR (High Dynamic Range) functionality. Google’s next Pixel series phone is expected to include Samsung’s ISOCELL GN2 sensor with Staggered HDR capability. It could make use of Google’s third-generation Tensor SoC.

Kuba Wojciechowski (@Za Raczke) noticed references to the photography functions of the future Pixel 8 series smartphones codenamed “Shiba” and “Husky” in the Google Camera Go app. The tipster uploaded an image of the app’s internal source code, which includes staggered HDR compatibility for the forthcoming handsets. The staggered HDR functionality allows you to capture numerous frames with increased details in short, medium, and long exposures. According to the source, Google will update the primary camera on the forthcoming Pixel series handsets.
