Unlimited Google Photos backup dropped with Pixel 5 & 4a 5G?

**edit: please ignore, I was mislead by product page**


Was looking over [https://store.google.com/us/magazine/compare\_pixel](https://store.google.com/us/magazine/compare_pixel) and noticed that Pixel 4a lists the following:

>128 GB storage^(10), plus unlimited storage at high quality with Google Photos^(11)

The 5 and 4a 5G, however, only list

>128 GB storage^(10)

Further, the footnotes seems to imply the same:

>^(11) Pixel 4a, Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL: Google Photos offers unlimited online...

Would this help Android adoption?

YouTube was the 2nd most downloaded app for Apple's App store in July 2020. Imagine if Google Duo was integrated into YouTube.. Almost like the Trojan Horse. It would make it easier for iPhone users to make the switch to Android. They wouldn't have to beg members of their inner circle to Download Google Duo because it would already be there.

I know RCS is a long shot but this would at least address the "..... but we can't facetime" argument. Covertly make Duo available on ALL iPhones.

Thoughts...

Galaxy A51 5G - my review after owning it for about a month

I got this phone about one month ago from Best Buy for $250 unlocked (instead of $500) and it's been pretty great. I was originally going for the regular A51, but it would've also cost $250, so I got the A51 5G instead. I can't use 5G yet, but I have used the rest of the phone. Here is my experience:

**Design:** It looks and feels really nice. The back is plastic, which I actually prefer over glass, mainly because durability. I don't have a case on the phone because I feel more confident with t...

The Pixel 5 may not be perfect, but can we take a moment to appreciate its symmetric bezel design?

I didn't see anyone talking about the bezels on the Pixel 5 and how it doesn't have a forehead/chin, so I thought I'd make a post. Here's a [picture](https://i.imgur.com/oGxwydE.jpg) of the phone (as the promotional material didn't show pictures of it).

​

The biggest thing here is how the bezels are evenly spaced on all sides.

​

It really makes the phone look great, which is not surprising considering humans are naturally drawn to symmetry [^(\[1\])](https://www.bbc.co.uk/bb...
