The use of camera hardware in Google Pixel phones is not new. A set of Sony IMX363 sensors has allowed Google to go all the way from Pixel 3 to Pixel 5. It was only replaced with new camera hardware in the Pixel 6 series last year, and the new hardware still plays a role.

Google Pixel has a lot of surprises for everyone in the camera software. The debut of Night Sight night scene mode opens the door to night scene computing.
