Google stripped freebies from Pixel 2 smartphones. No more unlimited storage of photos in original quality

Now Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL users will have to either choose free storage of photos in “High quality”, but still with compression, or use “Original quality”, but already within the framework of a paid Google One subscription.  

The Pixel 3 are now the last smartphones for which Google offers unlimited photo storage in original quality. For them, the “attraction of unheard-of generosity” will last until January 31, 2022.
