GoPro will unveil a new generation of cameras at the 2026 NAB Show this month (April 18–22). Here is the first leaked picture of one of the upcoming models – you can clearly see the larger lens, indicating a bigger sensor:

Here is what to expect from the new GoPro camera:

• GP3 Processor (core upgrade): GoPro’s first new chip in 5 years – a custom 5nm SoC with >2× the pixel processing power of the old GP2, plus a dedicated AI Neural Processing Unit (NPU) for real-time scene recognition, subject detection, and smarter image processing.
• Larger sensors: Expected across the lineup (teasers show cinematic macro, natural bokeh, and shallow depth-of-field shots that go far beyond typical action-cam footage).
• Massive low-light & image quality jump: improved low-light performance, better dynamic range, reduced noise, and more cinematic rendering.
• Higher resolution & frame rates: Strong speculation of 8K video (or at least much higher than Hero 13), plus improved high-frame-rate options (e.g., 4K at 240 fps) thanks to the extra processing headroom.
• Better battery life & thermals: Significantly longer runtimes and “bulletproof” reliability in high-heat conditions – no more early overheating shutdowns.
• AI & pro features: Enhanced stabilization, smarter auto-settings, improved audio, and overall professional-level image quality in a compact, rugged body.
• Multiple new cameras expected
