Pixel 8 Pro versus Pixel 8 camera comparison: all about that zoom

0

Google has two new flagship-tier smartphones for 2023 – the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. The obvious difference between the two devices comes down to size and price, but there are also a few differences in their cameras as well.

Both the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro use the same new 50MP camera for their main shooters, but the 8 Pro has also received an upgrade with a new 48MP ultraside camera and its 10.5MP selfie camera now has autofocus, while the redualr Pixel 8’s selfie camera uses the same fixed-focus system from the past. And then of course, there’s a 5x periscope telephoto camera on the Pro that’s been omitted from the regualr Pixel 8.

With all these differences, we thought a Pixel 8 versus Pixel 8 Pro camera comparison is needed to see if the $300 price difference bwteen these two phones really justifies the extra camera capabilities of the Pixel 8 Pro.

Take a look at the photos and video samepls below and let us knwo which device you think is the better option.
