One of the things not mentioned in the article is the support from Google photos. Storage space is now unlimited, and files are uploaded full res, which they didn't do before. If you take a lot of pictures, this makes life so easy. Plus the image search- you can find that picture of a dog catching a frisbee you took 6 months ago just by asking. Everyone seems to be burnt out on novel new technology, but this is amazing to me.
The camera's performance is impressive, but to me Google Photos is the biggest differentiator.
- twerkmonsta 10y agoGoogle Photos is available for iOS as well, so not really a differentiation.
- Fricken 10y agoFull res is exclusive to Pixel.
- lern_too_spel 10y agoYou get full res on any device. You just have to pay if you go over 15 GB.
- dragonwriter 10y agoNo, free, unlimited full-res is exclusive to Pixel, otherwise full-res photos count against the online storage quota (I think there's 15GB free, and additional storage available for a monthly fee.)
- mahyarm 10y agoGoogle's original 'unlimited' was 16MP, and the pixel makes 12MP images, so wouldn't it be within the original limit by default. If the pixel makes 4K videos, then that would be over the original unlimited limit.

Storage space is now unlimited, and files are uploaded full res I hadn't heard about this until now; is this for all Android users, or just Pixel users? If the latter, do you lose the unlimited space once you move off a Pixel?
- lewisl9029 10y agoI don't see a time limit mentioned anywhere, but I suspect the unlimited free storage is not going to last forever.
