Google has been using several components from Samsung in its Pixel smartphones over the past few years, and it will continue to do so, at least for the camera sensors in the upcoming Pixel 9 series.

It has been revealed that Pixel 9 phones will continue to use Samsung's ISOCELL camera sensors.

The Pixel 9 Pro and the Pixel 9 Pro XL use the same 50MP ISOCELL GNK camera sensor used in the Pixel 9 as their primary cameras. The rest of the cameras used in these phones, including the rear telephoto and ultrawide ones, use Sony's IMX858 50MP sensor. Even the front-facing camera uses the Sony IMX858 sensor with autofocus.

Google's next-generation foldable phone, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, features a 10MP ISOCELL 3K1 sensor for its front-facing camera.

It also features a 12MP ISOCELL 3LU sensor for the ultrawide camera and a 10.5MP ISOCELL 3J1 sensor for the telephoto camera. The phone's primary rear camera is a 64MP Sony IMX787 sensor.
