I personally can't tell the difference between the compressed versions and the originals (I don't take RAW photos). Here's an analysis of this: https://www.phonearena.com/news/Google-Photos-High-quality-v...

Nice analysis and I admit I'm surprised by how good their compression is. I was expecting much worse, and that's why I immediately started paying for storage, so that I don't have to worry about bad-quality photos later.
