    Since High Quality photo upload support up to a max of 16 MP, most flagship like Pixel, S7, Note5, Note8, S8, U11, V30, G6, OP3, OP5 and all the iPhones won’t have any issue as it come with 12 or 16 MP.

      Doesn't matter either way, because Google can do with your uploaded photos and videos whatever they want, so you'd be pretty stupid to use their services.

        High quality is more than enough for smartphone. Original quality could be original low quality too.

              That can be of good value if one desires to keep their 4K videos using Google photos. Otherwise, the "high quality" option is decent enough for photos and 1080p videos.

                  I don't think it's a big issue. How many pixel 2 owner will keep the phone beyond 2020? People generally change phones in 2 years and at the most 3 yrs.

                      but will buying an old pixel now have the same lifetime storage or even buying one now will be up to 2020?

                        My question is, does anyone have the Pixel 2 currently? Google might change their mind, you know! Lol

                            Well of course I'm happy being OG Pixel owner but this is so unfair for the Pixel 2 owners!

                                So Pixel 1 owners get headphone jack and unlimited cloud storage in original quality for life? I probably shouldn't have sold mine then but it wasn't recognized by my Mac. Most of my videos are 720p and lower and pix are 6MP or lower. But what a way to reward the original Pixel owners

                                    Rafe Firmani, 14 Oct 2017So, after 2020 the original photos saved in clouds would be converted to high quality. That's... moreNope. Everything in OQ uploaded before 2020 will stay in OQ. But note that HQ is just crop images to under 16MP and videos cropped to 1080p. So after 2020, the only change for Pixel2 users is that their videos are in 1080 instead of 4K (since the camera is 12MP).
