The Pixel 9 Pro could have a 50MP selfie camera

The Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL can help you capture clearer selfies thanks to a major upgrade to the front camera. Leaked marketing materials shared with Android Authority picture the 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL with 50-megapixel autofocus selfie cameras.

The selfie camera and rear ultrawide and telephoto cameras are rumored to use 50MP Sony IMX858 image sensors, while the main rear camera could feature a 50MP sensor from Samsung. You can take a look at what appears to be the Pixel 9 Pro’s camera in action in this video posted on TikTokwhich shows up to 30x Super Res zoom – just like the Pixel 7 and Pixel 8. The device used in this video appears to be the same leaked hardware that the account showed off last week.

Marketing materials also indicate that the base Pixel 9 could get a relatively modest 10.5MP selfie camera with autofocus. While it’s not as impressive as the rumored 50MP rear camera on the Pro models, it’s still an upgrade from the 10MP selfie camera on the base Pixel 8, which doesn’t have autofocus. The dual-camera setup on the back of the standard Pixel 9 could use the same 50MP Samsung main camera sensor and 50MP Sony ultrawide sensor as the Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL, without the telephoto lens.

The rumored Pixel Fold 2, on the other hand, may only feature minor upgrades to its cameras, Android Authority reports. Google may also be working to add 8K video encoding at 30 frames per second, according to Android Authoritybut we don’t yet know which Pixel devices will be supported or whether they will be available at launch.
