Google Pixel 8 Camera Review: The Ultimate Camera Phone of September 2024?

Main Camera

Maintains the 50MP 1/1.31" sensor with 1.2µm pixels, but introduces a brighter f/1.68 lens. The main camera also handles zoom duties due to the absence of a telephoto lens.

Front Camera

Equipped with a 10.5MP sensor with a f/2.2 aperture and 20mm focal length, but lacks autofocus, unlike the Pixel 8 Pro.

Ultrawide Camera

Upgraded with a 12MP sensor featuring autofocus, covering a 126-degree field of view with an f/2.2 aperture, delivering better quality than previous models.

Camera Software

Enhanced with a new interface and advanced features like brightness, shadow, and white balance adjustments, though manual focus and other Pro features are exclusive to the Pixel 8 Pro.

Macro lens

The ultra-wide camera's autofocus enables decent macro shots, cropping the sensor's center to match the main camera's field of view.

Daylight Photography

The main camera excels with sharp, low-noise images and consistent white balance, albeit with a slight tendency towards cooler tones and increased sharpening.

Low-Light Photography

Night mode delivers balanced exposure and accurate colors, while standard mode can produce darker, less detailed images.

Verdict

The Google Pixel 8 excels in camera performance with notable upgrades but falls short of being the ultimate camera phone due to some feature limitations compared to the Pro model.
