Anyone noticed that Google is cheating with Google Photos backup? Only hi-resolution gets backed up. To back up original resolution one has to buy Pixel 3. I am kind of pissed of this marketing.

Kinda cheap move if you ask me.

  Not giving you free GB of storage on their servers forever is a "cheap move" for 400$ phone?

  It's not a cheap move. It's like when you get special offers on your car when you buy a new one, like free service. Down the line you are expected to pay for it.

Even for Pixel 3, the free unlimited storage with original resolution is till Jan 31, 2022. I wonder what happens to photos stored after that. Downgraded and resized? https://support.google.com/photos/answer/6220791?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en https://support.google.com/photos/answer/6220791?co=GENIE.Pl...

  None of that - the photos uploaded at "original" quality after that date will start counting towards your Drive quota. Same as what happens when you switch to another non-Pixel phone.

    What if you are above the free drive quota?
