Given that Google’s upcoming phones are already out in the wild, camera samples of the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro have now leaked.

Well, if ultrasonic FP and this GN2 happen not to be on board, it won't be much of an upgrade... Fingers crossed for the Flip Pixel...
After posting an unboxing, PBKreviews has now shared camera samples from the Pixel 8 Pro. It’s unclear whether the device is running final software, but here’s what we have today. The gallery below shows the same scene with and without Night Sight enabled:
A leaked retail listing advertised how there’s an upgraded “50 MP main camera for better low-light photos.” The current consensus is that the Pixel 8 Pro is not using the Samsung ISOCELL GN2 as previously rumored.
PBKreviews also shared a sample gallery at .5, 1, 2, and 5x. There’s discussion whether the last shot is properly using the telephoto versus digital zoom. Again, this could be due to non-final firmware or a missing Google Camera update that would be resolved by review time. The switch to the telephoto lens already takes a moment and is noticeable, especially on the Pixel Fold, in our experience.
Meanwhile, there are some samples from the Pixel 8:
