According to an article by 9to5Google, Google Pixel 2's camera will be enhanced as the company is focusing their energy on delivering "low light photography," which can become an advantage to those who are into taking photos. The alleged camera, according to the publication's sources, is currently being tested using chipsets from two suppliers.
Furthermore, since it is rumored to be waterproof; the device can further take pictures even when raining.
The improved specs may come with a price. Another rumor claims that Google Pixel 2 will be $50 more expensive than the current model. This is said to welcome criticisms as Google Pixel was previously blasted for its high price. Google is reportedly developing another variant for budget-conscious customers, but the information about it is still scarce.
