July is about to end but news about the GoPro Hero 8 is essentially non-existent at this point. But tech enthusiasts can still somehow predict what the San Mateo-based company is planning for the series’ next iteration based on criticisms received by the Hero 7.
Arguably the most requested upgrade that users want to see for the GoPro Hero 8 is increased battery life. While Hero 7 can last an hour and 45 minutes, setting it at 4K/60 fps will drain the battery much faster and reduce that time by 45 minutes.
And even though there are accessories out there that’ll extend the action camera’s shooting time, it reduces the overall positive experience of users, Trusted Reviews reported. This isn’t even accounting the heating complaints that’s been widely reported. Thus, it’s imperative that GoPro Hero 8 addresses this issue if it wants to remain on top of the action camera market.
GoPro Hero 8 should address low light performance
This is doubly true if the company plans to outfit the next iteration with a forward-facing display. The feature is one of the most requested upgrades by people, especially those who are constantly pushing out travel content. Another request for the GoPro Hero 8 is improvements when shooting in low light.
Currently, Hero 7 isn’t doing a stellar job shooting at night as the footage produced by the action camera is noisy and blurry. The GoPro Hero 8 could change all of this by outfitting the device with a larger sensor, opening up more features like a 4K/60 fps with the Superview turned on.
GoPro Hero 8 likely to come out in September
But again, this is all banking on the GoPro Hero 8’s battery life. With GoPro CEO Nick Woodman announcing that they’re going to be looking at improving all the lineup for the GoPro Hero 8, it’s understandable that users’ expectations are high.
The problem is the aforementioned silence of the company regarding the GoPro Hero 8 and what specific upgrades they’ve been making to make it stand out in the action camera market. The next iteration is expected to drop this coming September given that the company has been pretty consistent at launching a new version of the series during this month in the last several years.
