Recent reports say that a line in the code of the latest APK for Google Photos reads "Unlimited free storage for original quality photos -- videos uploaded from your Google Nexus device."
What exactly is Google Photos?
Google Photos is a free service application created by Google to have all your files backed up in one cloud storage. Sounds good right? The trade off? As of today, Google only allows photos that are below 16 megapixels for the free version. If your photos go higher than that, most likely, it will be downsized to a lower resolution.
But, if you're a Google Nexus user, don't fret! Better days just might be coming your way.
With Nexus, back up all you want!
Google's strict measures for Google Photos might just be easier for Google Nexus devices should rumours be true. In the latest APK for Google Photos, a text in the code of the latest says that a "Nexus Themed" exclusive is on the way soon.
"With Nexus, back up all you want! Unlimited free storage for original quality photos & videos upload from your Nexus device," the update reads. Sure, the latest versions of the Google Nexus line of phones only have a 12.3MP shooter. This sounds not that big of a deal, but these phones have the capability to shoot 4K videos and that's where the unlimited storage comes in handy.
One glaring question comes to our minds regarding this development. Would Google even allow DSLR quality photos to be uploaded into the cloud as long as you've used your Google Nexus device in the process? For more news and updates about Google Nexus, stay tuned to GamenGuide!
