Google made its Pixel 8 smartphone lineup official today, including the Pixel 8 Pro. This year, the Pro gets a number of camera upgrades, both in terms of hardware and software, that puts a little more distance between it and the non-Pro version. The updates will be welcome changes for anyone looking to get the most out of the camera they always have with them.

The Pixel 8 this year comes with a 50 mp main wide camera with better low-light performance, with a 24mm equivalent when talking in classic film camera focal lengths. That has an f/1.68 max aperture, with an 82-degree field of view and a 1/1.31″ sensor. The main camera also features a 2x “Optical Quality” mode, which basically just crops to the center of the frame to mimic a 2x optical lens. The Pro also features the same main camera, with the addition of Google’s Super Res Zoom digital computational tele mode, which can go up to 8x.
