Google Pixel 9 series camera configuration exposed: multiple upgrades, front lens supports autofocus

According to news on July 18, Google’s upcoming Pixel 9 series of mobile phones have undergone significant upgrades in camera hardware, which will be a highlight of the series. According to the latest reports from foreign media, Google has completely overhauled the sensor lineup of Pixel phones, especially in low-light performance and selfie effects.

1. Google’s new generation Pixel series will use Sony IMX858 sensor to replace the original IMX386 ultra-wide-angle lens.

2. The new IMX858 sensor is larger (1/2.51 inch) and is expected to have better performance in low light environments than the old IMX386 (1/2.8 inch).
3. Although the main camera (Samsung GNK) and selfie lens (Samsung 3J1) remain the same, Pixel 9 has added a new skill: the front camera supports autofocus function. This feature is similar to last year’s Pixel 8 Pro, ensuring clearer and more stable selfies in various situations. In contrast, the Pixel 8's fixed-focus selfie lens is adequate but prone to blur in certain situations.

4. Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL will share the same camera system.
5. Google has high hopes for the Sony IMX858 sensor, which covers almost all lenses except the main camera, including the front camera.
6. While the upgrades to ultra-wide and telephoto are relatively modest, this new sensor makes the Pixel 9 Pro’s selfie lens surpass most selfie-specific sensors in size and performance.

   

   In addition, the two Pro versions of Pixel will continue to use last year’s infrared thermometer - Melexis MLX90632. Although the application scenarios of this feature are limited, Google still insists on using it, which has also caused some controversy and doubts.

The camera upgrades of the Google Pixel 9 series will undoubtedly improve users’ photography experience, especially in low-light environments and selfie effects. The addition of the autofocus function makes the performance of the front camera even better. Looking forward to the imaging performance of Google’s new generation Pixel series.
