So just opened up Google Photos for the first time on the new Moto Z droid. And was presented with this. I haven't read about this anywhere else so just thought I'd let you guys know

Google Photos Unlimited full size storage for Moto Z owners for 2 years

Wow. Can't wait to get that if still available. My phone arrives on Tuesday.
Um, this is great and all... so what happens after 2 years and you uploaded a ton of photos and take up like a few terabytes? I don't really see anyone that would actually go for the full resolution unless they're really serious into their photography. RAWs and JPEGs can get really big, so a few terabytes of photos is not to unrealistic, right? So, would Google then prompt you to pay like 10 bucks a month for Google Drive to store your photos?
A few months I ago I switched my Googled Photos from "original" to "high quality (free)" - and Google Photos re-compressed the photos. In two years you will have option of doing this.

What happens after the 2 years? LOL.. These are just gimmicks really.. if you don't want to pay for additional storage now, you wouldn't wanna pay 2 years later.. because you will have to after you've used the storage and the only options would be to pay or have your photos compressed again.
It takes you 1 minute to resize ALLL pictures you have to the unlimited size, really easy and fast, do not worry; I did it, search in options on google photos in your computer, it is reallllyyyyyy easy
Anyone know what 'high quality' means? What kind of quality loss can one expect over 'original?'
Is this only for the verizon's droid version of the moto z?
This feature is not appearing on my Z.

It is on my Moto Z. In Google Photos, go to settings, the backup & sync, Upload size option. Tap on it, you would be presented with the two options.
Does it then show a dialogue about 2 yrs free storage?
On mine it just shows me my remaining storage from the free 15 gb.
When you tap on upload size, it will show you high quality(free unlimited storage) and original(your data storage left)
Ok, I was talking about the free 2 yr storage.
I guess it's regional or something.
Mine didn't show me the no. of years, just unlimited storage.
I use RETEU Moto Z too. Like you said, may be the offer location-based.
