Pixel 3 no longer gets unlimited Original quality storage on Google Photos for free

01 February 2022
The so-called “High Quality” or “Storage saver” option remains the one with no limits for uploads.

Anonymous, 01 Feb 2022I might be wrong (correct me if that's the case) but i... moreIt is correct, "original" quality is that of the normal photo, and "high" reduced to 16 Mpx, the pixels (1,2,3,4,5) have unlimited "high" quality for life, but not " original" , I have no idea about other brands, but from what I saw at the time it seems they all lost unlimited storage including Pixel 6

So in short, what you said is correct

    OhNom, 01 Feb 2022No, all pixels have unlimited storage in "high quality... moreI might be wrong (correct me if that's the case) but iirc I had once read the fine print & it said that "High Quality" means upto 16Mpx photos and FHD videos, if you want higher res, you go for "Original Quality".
    But alas now we don't even have unlimited High Quality like I did with my 5 yr old Google One(launcher) phone!

              Elektr0nac, 01 Feb 2022But do the newer pixels, from 4 and on have unlimited photo... moreNo, all pixels have unlimited storage in "high quality", but only Pixel 1/XL has "original" storage for life, there are many people who buy it for that reason alone

                  Elektr0nac, 01 Feb 2022But do the newer pixels, from 4 and on have unlimited photo... moreGo for a samsung s22. Down the line software expe matters and pixel will become laggy while ur samsung will improve. But 100 gb storage for 2$ a month from g drive and ur good to go

                    Elektr0nac, 01 Feb 2022But do the newer pixels, from 4 and on have unlimited photo... moreThey do not. Only the OG Pixel still has it

                      Elektr0nac, 01 Feb 2022But do the newer pixels, from 4 and on have unlimited photo... moreYes, definitely.

                        But do the newer pixels, from 4 and on have unlimited photo storage in original quality? I'm considering Pixel 6 so this is a rather important information for me.
