A line in the code of Google Photos version 1.21 proposes free uncapped storage space for Nexus-themed devices after diving into the Android's application package (APK), according to Android Police.

The application also comes with a photo editor for simple adjustments like color and lighting. The latest update will come with two new adjustments called contrast and exposure. Albums can be easily accessed with the use of Sorting Mode, which will be added in the update.

Google Photos provides free back-up of pictures and videos on an Android phone. However, the free version of the app has a limit of 16 megapixels. Photos and videos greater than 1080p will be trimmed down as well. Users who are willing to pay will be able to utilize a bigger storage space and give a maximum photo resolution of 75-100 megabytes, 10 gigabytes for video.

Thanks to the new update, Google Nexus users will not be affected by Google Photos' downsizing of photos and videos. Their original file size will be retained, according to CNET.

Most of Google Nexus devices camera specifications have a maximum megapixel of 12.3, but they shoot high-quality video like the Nexus 6P and 5X which have 3840 x 2160 ultra-HD quality videos.
