Google Pixel 4 doesn't come with unlimited original quality Google Photos storage

15 October 2019
It's just compressed "high quality" now, the same as for the Pixel 3a and 3a XL.

            AnonD-558092, 15 Oct 2019Oh yeah? You haven't seen nothing yet. Wait until the softw... moreI agree. Just wait for the annual Bluetooth and WiFi problems. Google will come out promising fixes and nothing will be resolved. I'm lucky I never had this problem with my original pixel. As much as I enjoyed vanilla android though and fast updates. There were too many compromises in bad design choices, high price tag, bad battery life and other numerous bugs and glitches. And this is supposed to be the most polished version of Android. F Google.

              Let me put it this way: If I wanted an overpriced phone that skimps on storage and RAM on the base storage, lacks a headphone jack and adapter, has a tiny battery for smaller phone, and lacks expandable storage, I'd get an iPhone.

              There. Rant over.

                Rev..., 16 Oct 2019yeah i thought it will be a good phone and they are removin... moreThey won't learn though. This is why Google hasn't succeeded as a manufacturer to this day.

                Fans and critics have repeatedly said we want the standard market battery size for your phones e.g. 4000mah for 6.3 inches and above. Fans have said we want headphone jack. Fans have said not offering unlimited backups in original quality on the 3a series was not good and takes away from the experience. Fans have said we want more ambitious designs for the money being asked. Fans and critics said no expandable storage is not preferable but please increase base storage and offer further configurations.

                Google doesn't listen, because they don't care. Google do not want to monetarily succeed as a manufacturer. They already make money elsewhere. Instead the pixel platform is merely just a platform for them to exhibit their prowess in software development, APIs, versions of android and that is it.

                  So, no unlimited storage for photos and no microSD slot either.

                  Wow, the Pixel 4 has suddenly become the least preferable option for the people who like to take lots of photos.

                  Or maybe Google believes its customers will purchase additional storage as well.

                  Well, f yourself Google.

                  Nexus 5 was the last decent phone that you made. After that you decided to become an Apple of the Android world.

                    Anonymous, 15 Oct 2019well done keep price high but remove features like everythi... moreActually all phones should have the option to come without the charger (with suitable price reduction) since the buyer likely already has a suitable charger.

                        Rev..., 16 Oct 2019yeah i thought it will be a good phone and they are removin... moreExactly. I get that they're a giant corporation and want $, but they could've at least leave original quality photo backup for the flagship Pixel lineup. I'm still on my 2 XL, so I'm due to an upgrade, especially since the WiFi on the 2 XL is terrible. I'm considering the 4 XL on sales, but the OP 7T Pro seems more promising the more I think about it. + It has wide angle which I desperately want in a device (Loved it so much on my LG G6, miss it a lot)

                          They took a bad offering, and made it worse. Storage really should be higher, as should battery.

                                Walter C. Dornez, 15 Oct 2019Jesus Christ, they're making it difficult not to hateYep, I was going to pre-order but this kind of changed my mind about paying so much for a device. The least they could've done (if this was always a plan) is to bump to storage options to 128/256GB and leave the 64GB entirely.

                                  Google is really seeing how much they can get away with. This is ridiculous.

                                      Software is already ruined with the removal of useful stuff like Android Beam and going full speed to iOS restrictions.
