While the increase in mobile storage space continues to rise over the generations, the evolution in camera configurations also means that each content is much heavier than in previous years. So far in Pixel terminals this was not a problem, but now those who buy a Google Pixel 4 will have to take it into account when it comes to backups in the cloud .

In recent days it has been possible to know through the official site of the Californian giant that Google Pixel will withdraw one of the most interesting and outstanding functions of these Smartphones: the unlimited upload of photos and videos in their original quality. From this fourth installment, the available space will be limited as in any other mobile device on the market with Android.

Google Pixel 4 “invites” to subscribe to Google One: Google Pixel 4 will not have unlimited upload of photos in original quality

One of the most publicized features by Google in previous years will no longer be available

With this modification in the option of backup copies in the cloud, the same standard is maintained as in the rest of the terminals, that is, only allowing an unlimited upload of “high quality” photographs. This means that the original images are compressed when uploading to the online account.

So far this was one of the most striking details of Google Pixel in its first three models, thus taking an advantage to services such as iCloud that had a limitation in the amount of available storage. With the launch of Google Pixel 3A and 3A XL , this restriction had already been added but it was believed that it was only due to its more affordable price compared to standard models.

Considering that Pixel 4 hits stores with a price of $ 799 for the original model and $ 899 for those who want the XL version, it is still a negative that these “Premium” features are withdrawn. Of course, those who have a Pixel 3 can rest assured that they will have this function of unlimited uploading of videos and photos in original quality until January 31, 2021.

To conclude, Google Pixel 4 will keep a 12 megapixel main camera , so the photographs would not have increased in weight compared to previous phones. Thus, the reason for the change is none other than to invite users to spend even more, since with the purchase of the new phone , three months of the Google One subscription service will be offered for free, which gives 100 GB of extra space available.
