Pixel 8 vs. Pixel 7: Cameras
Not to sound like a broken record, but the camera upgrades between the Pixel 8 and Pixel 7 are insignificant at best. The Pixel 7 camera is already pretty good, but not the best compared to other phones. It looks like Google is keeping the same specs in mind for their new flagship's base model with a new 50MP camera and a lower aperture (which is better for light gathering). The FOV of the 12MP ultrawide camera also sees an increase from 114 degrees to 125.8 degrees.
