[Exclusive] Google Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro camera features revealed through promo video
Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro camera specifications and features have been revealed ahead of the launch event on October 4th.
Update (August 2025): Looking back nearly two years after launch, most of the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro camera leaks did turn out to be accurate. Both phones shipped with the promised 50MP primary sensor along with Real Tone, Night Sight, Astrophotography, and Super Res Zoom. The Pro-exclusive Pro controls and Video Boost also made it to the final release, though Google later refined them with software updates. The Magic Editor with face-swap capability was indeed part of Google Photos, though its rollout was phased and limited at first. On the hardware side, the Pixel 8 Pro’s telephoto lens and upgraded ultrawide performed as expected, while the regular Pixel 8 stayed limited to a dual-camera setup. Over time, software updates have further improved video recording and skin-tone accuracy, validating that Google’s original promo leaks were a strong preview of what buyers actually got.
Original story follows…
The trend of Pixel phones being leaked (either unofficially or by Google themselves) well ahead of launch continues. Earlier this month, Google put out a promo video showing off the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro from all angles, while revealing the launch date as October 4th. The company also announced that the phones will go up for pre-orders in India a day later on October 5th. Now, a newly leaked promo video graciously provided to 91mobiles by tipster Kamila Wojciechowska reveals the camera features of the upcoming Pixel phones.

The new promo video, which Google is probably planning to release soon enough, gives us a breakdown of the camera features coming with the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro.
Some of the camera features highlighted in the video include Pro controls (exclusive to Pixel 8 Pro), Real Tone, Night Sight, Astrophotography, Super Res Zoom, and the ability to swap faces in an image likely through Magic Editor.
For videos, Google has added features like Video Boost, Night Sight for low-light videos, Audio Eraser to reduce ambient background sounds, and improved skin tones.
Separately, Wojciechowska provided us with the complete camera specifications of the phone as well. Take a look:

Google is clearly going big on cameras with the Pixel 8 series, as indicated through the dedicated promo video highlighting a bunch of new camera features. Google has already shown off the design of the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. No surprises, they look very much like their predecessors, with the rear camera visor being retained and a punch-hole display at the front. Before Google’s October event, you can expect a few more leaks (some perhaps from Google themselves) to show up to leave little to the imagination. Until then, have a good day!
