    Will this allow unlimited photo back up to Google photos?

      No

      Keep an eye out for an OG pixel. Doesn't really matter what capacity, or if the screen is cracked or the battery is bad because it will be permanently plugged in to a charger. Set up Syncthing on the pixel and whatever phone you want to use as a daily and you get lifetime FULL resolution photo/video backups. Also since it doesn't matter what device took the photo/video, you can upload files from DSLR's (including RAW files), scanned pictures, GoPro/drone footage, and pretty much any other source you can think of.

      It used to be possible to snag one for <$80 but prices seem to be creeping up now that more people have discovered it.

      • WesthamAreMassive on 24/09/2022 - 10:35

        What's an OG pixel?

      • gstfree on 24/09/2022 - 11:54

        Thanks. Could you please provide some guidance how to set up auto sync to Pixel OG?

        • ebosh on 24/09/2022 - 21:58

          I used this guide to get it going for me. I've since added a folder from my PC as well to backup photos from there too

      • WayneOZ on 24/09/2022 - 12:48

        Yeah that's how I'm going to use my Pixel 2 XL after I get 7 pro next month. 2 XL can only upload images at compressed size but decent enough for daily life logging.

        • aveeno bb on 24/09/2022 - 16:31

          Try Pixel Experience Rom.

      • xmail on 24/09/2022 - 15:10

        Can also put a custom rom on most phones that masquerades as a pixel 1. Pretty sketchy, but most custom roms do this so hopefully Google will give some kind of warning/notice to the ROM creators before they just start banning unsuspecting user accounts.

      • aveeno bb on 24/09/2022 - 16:26
        +1

        You don't need an OG pixel, just any device that supports Pixel Experience Rom (or a similar AOSP-based phone).

        I am using a Pixel 2 XL, flash with PE Rom - free original quality back up.

        • tinx on 24/09/2022 - 16:35

          I assume pixel 2 is the cheapest to get?

        • RQNinja on 24/09/2022 - 19:21

          wait really free original quality RAW backups on any pixel or android phone? how is google not able to detect that?

          • xmail on 24/09/2022 - 19:45

            @RQNinja: They can likely detect it, but it is not significant enough of a problem to invest in a solution and support. The number of people running custom ROMs is pretty insignificant.

        • Mi2 on 25/09/2022 - 02:27

          Damn, I didn't know Pixel Experience ROM offers this, even though I installed it months ago. That's why I kept back up off all the time.
          I was trying to replace my OG Pixel's battery but messed up. Never had the time to reassemble it.
          You guys are the real heroes.

        I've tried this on my Pixel 1 and this method is easier said than done. I ended up abandoning this method because it was a pain in the ass.

        How have you set up your pixel 1?

        • ebosh on 24/09/2022 - 22:08
          +1

          I replied further up with the guide I used, but before I found it I was getting confused with the correct folder order, and which was send and receive.

      • Felixrising on 24/09/2022 - 22:37

        I recently picked up a pixel 1 did just this reason.

        I have a pixel 3a and I have unlimited photo backup to Google photos. Are you telling me 6a doesn't?

          Not sure about the 6a, but the pixel 1 has unlimited FULL RESOLUTION backups for life. As far as I know, every model after is unlimited COMPRESSED backups.

          • 89tnp on 03/10/2022 - 19:29

            @ebosh: to average joe, is that enough?

            Either way, kind of lame.

    • cevad on 25/09/2022 - 08:50

      Get the Google rewards app, do the surveys and then use the credits to pay for a 100Gb Google One account, problem solved.

      • Loopholio on 25/09/2022 - 11:22

        I barely make one or two dollars per month with that app. I have location history on so the app does notice some places I visit.

        • xmail on 25/09/2022 - 21:34

          $2 per month would basically cover the cost however.

        You'll need to wait for another pandemic. The birds will eventually require additional bandwidth and then the government will decide to upgrade them again. That technology will then trickle down into phones.

      • Grish on 24/09/2022 - 10:45

        Actually nothing in particular, if anything I would like some extra performance (not games, just general phone and app navigation).

        I prefer the rear fingerprint sensor and the headphone jack on the 4a.

          +1

          Then you're not going to find much to like about the 6a besides the camera set-up…possibly. 60Hz screen, fingerprint sensor and battery life are all a step down for me coming from a Pixel 5, so YMMV, but i'd wait for a good deal on a Pixel 6 once the 7 launches.

        • foxxo on 24/09/2022 - 18:31

          My 4a 5g had a cracked screen so traded it in for the 6a 5g. Only part I miss is the headphone jack, so I bought a USBC to headphone adaptor and leave it on the headphones, not too bad.
          The new one feels slightly more premium, slightly faster, longer shape.. fingerprint reader is in the screen on the front, no issues at all with it, but the screen goes really bright under your finger when unlocking it, slight annoyance at night but I find it easier to unlock when the phone is docked.
          Went from that material cover case to a rubber one, which I actually prefer as the old one material was slightly fraying and looked worn. Camera is miles better in the 6a. Battery life is better as well. Same charging speed but you can get a new type of charger to go slightly faster, not needed though.

          • SOaDaholic on 27/09/2022 - 14:42
