This will let the sensor capture different exposures simultaneously with the same pixels. Just like iPhone can use smart HDR to capture different exposure shots at different levels and then merges them in real-time to give a single image that is best, Google might also do something like that for the Pixel 8 series. Pixel 7 has HDR shooting but it is not as effective as staggered HDR. This limitation is due to the Samsung GN1 camera sensor (not supporting staggered HDR) that is provided in Pixel 7 phones. This is being rectified as both Pixel phones for 2023 codenamed Husky and Shiba will have staggered HDR, claims Wojciechowski. This means the Pixel 8 series might also get a new camera sensor and that will most probably be the GN2 sensor. Google also seems to be working on the Pro version of its Pixel tablet which has been codenamed TangorPro. Google Pixel 7 Series consist of Pixel 7 (Rs. 59,999) and Pixel 7 Pro (Rs. 84,999), both of which are available in the Indian market. Pixel 7 is equipped with a 50MP main and a 12MP ultrawide camera while the Pixel 7 Pro has an additional 48MP telephoto lens as well.
