Take a look around 1:35. Would be very awkward for Linus himself to get this factoid wrong after all the hubbub about rushed projects.

Can't say if they're the same sensor under the hood just from this, but they're definitely different modules since the f-number is different.
Although this community isn't a drama community. You're probably better off posting your complaint in the LTT one.

Sorry! My messaging was off - not intending this to be an LTT dish fest.
While this specs sheet does imply an unchanged sensor, both LTT's video and XDA's article linked in this comment below suggest a new (or at least updated) sensor, rather than just a lens change.

Just trying to start conversation about what seems to be still an unclear detail. Didn't mean to start a flame war!

I'm confused, isn't the non-pro getting the new main sensor introduced in the 7 Pro?
cmfhsu@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
I'm not sure! This is a highly debated piece of information it seems we still don't have clarity on.
This comment of mine shows two sources I've found which seem to corroborate a new, different sensor than the one found in the pixel 7 line.
Frankly I've already pre-ordered my 8 pro, but it'd certainly be a nice cherry on top!

Sorry - I'm trying to corroborate this story with another article from XDA, below, which both state the Pixel 8 will get a new, different camera sensor. This would be a departure from recent leaks which claim an unchanged primary wide sensor (i.e. many people are complaining about the Samsung GN1 sensor).

My apologies for making a little dig at LTT's expense. I was trying to convey that I'm actually more convinced this information is true, since I'm sure Linus and his team are laser focused on accuracy of information right now.

Oh no! A minor inaccuracy in a video that nobody will ever watch a second time and won't relevant once the phone is actually reviewed. Fire up the LTT is dead engines!

Sorry! My messaging was off here. I'm not intending to dish on LTT here, but actually infer that the new Pixels may actually get the long-rumored Samsung GN2 camera sensor, despite recent leaks claiming otherwise.
See my comment here for corroborating evidence: https://lemmy.world/comment/4158522

Eh no need to apologize I might be guilty of "dramatically preventing drama". Honestly I'm just glad there's discussion here instead of on Reddit!
