This is a great point. My wife and I were attracted to the Google Pixel lineup because they advertised unlimited original quality photo storage through Google Photos. Well they reduced that to just unlimited "high quality" a year or so ago, and I broke my 3A a few months ago. Silly me forgets that newer Google Pixels don't have unlimited photo storage at all, I buy a 5A, and all photos/videos get uploaded to Google Photos and count against my quota. Even though Google technically isn't in the wrong here, I've always felt like I got a rug pull.

The photos would be in Google Photos even if you no longer had access to your old phone and you do not have to reupload them.
