Our lastest Pixel 9 series camera leak brought some very good news for those of us who are interested in the Pixel 9 and 9 Pro phones, with some bad ones for foldable fans. While my colleague Rob is disheartened by the camera downgrades on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, I’m looking at the glass-half-full part of the equation, specifically the promised upgrade to the selfie sensor on the two Pixel 9 Pro phones.
According to our sources, both the smaller and larger Pixel 9 Pro phones are getting a major bump in their selfie shooter. You can see the details in the table below. We should be going from a 10.5MP 1/3″ sensor on the Pixel 8 Pro to a larger, newer, and more powerful 50MP 1/2.51″ sensor. The numbers alone predict a massive improvement in photo quality, especially in low-light conditions and at night. That is exciting!
