Google Pixel 6 Pro camera details revealed

In the second half of the year, we will see the premiere of Google Pixel 6, and the company will also return to the market with an enlarged version of the flagship called Google Pixel 6 Pro. Last week, insider John Prosser posted renders of the smartphone online, which this time look unusual, all thanks to an unusual camera unit. According to rumors, the base version will receive two image sensors, and the firmware will receive three key updates.

Сьогодні інсайдери ближче показали блок головної камери Google Pixel 6 Pro, а також розповіли про нього більше. Очікується, що смартфон отримає 50-мегапіксельний об’єктив як основний датчик, який буде доповнений ширококутним модулем. Приємним нововведенням є 8-мегапіксельна перископічна камера з підтримкою 5-кратного оптичного збільшення. Також є четвертий датчик, який відповідає за корекцію кольорів. Телеоб’єктив замінюється на базову версію, але його роздільна здатність невідома.

Note that in John Prosser's renders, the Pixel 6 Pro has a triple camera and no fourth sensor. Therefore, we will not rush to accept any information as official.

As a reminder, there are rumors in the network that the Pixel 6 series will receive a priority Google SoC instead of a Qualcomm SoC, and they are creating it together with Samsung. Along with smartphones, the company may introduce Google Watch smart watches.

Google has patented an under-display camera for Pixel smartphones

According to LetsGoDigital, Google has patented a new camera design for smartphones. We are talking about the module located behind the display. It is possible that such a unit will arrive with future devices of the Pixel family.

As you can see in the illustration (see below), it is suggested to make a small window at the top of the smartphone screen. A prismatic mirror element will be placed under it.

An image sensor with optics and a small auxiliary display will be installed inside the case. The prismatic element will be able to rotate 180 degrees. Depending on the current operating mode of the smartphone, this device will show the light on the camera sensor or the image from the auxiliary internal display on the main screen window.

Thus, in normal mode, the user will see a full-screen image. When the front camera is activated, the inner prism unit will unfold to allow light to enter the image sensor.

Unfortunately, it is still unclear when Google plans to implement this technical solution in commercial smartphones. Observers believe that the camera with the described design may appear on devices of the Pixel 7 generation.
