Reviewing the Google Pixel 8 Pro camera vs the regular Pixel 8, testing the difference in photo and video quality and features. Google's latest 2023 flagships boast dependable camera tech but the Pixel 8 Pro is more powerful, best for shooting kids, pets etc.

For the hardware, both phones serve up the same 50MP Octa PD primary sensor with OIS. However, the ultra-wide sensors are different and the Pixel 8 Pro also boasts an upgraded focus and 48MP telephoto camera. This means the Pro is superior for zoom photos as well as capturing portrait shots. That said, I did still see some borky portraits from this Google phone, which will hopefully be sorted in an update.

Likewise, the Pixel 8 Pro serves up more manual controls and a high resolution mode (which I haven't found too helpful so far, but maybe you have?) And you can also expect a video boost feature before the end of 2023, courtesy of a Google update, for improved night video.

The Pixel 8 series offers excellent editing tools, many of them AI led. Best Take, Audio Enhancement and Magic Editor are all well worth exploring inside the Google Photos app. Frankly, they're the best reason to own a Pixel 8 Pro or the regular mini model, as they're incredibly addictive!
