Also, although this sensor also supports 8K/30fps video recording, it is not known if this functionality will be implemented in the Pixel 8 series.

Pixel 8 series cameras also support Staggered HDR. This reduces the delay between frames captured for HDR, which reduces ghosting and speeds up the capture process.

The telephoto camera is basically fixed
