Google One Lite: Cheaper Cloud Storage Coming Soon?

A new, more affordable Google One plan may be on the horizon. Here's what we know about the rumored "Lite" tier and its potential features.

Google Might Be Launching a Cheaper "Lite" Version of Google One

A recent teardown of the Google Photos app suggests that Google is considering a new, more affordable Google One plan called "Google One Lite." This plan could launch as early as next month alongside the Pixel 9 phone series.

Here's what we know (or rather, what's rumored) so far:

  • Lower price point: This new tier aims to be more budget-friendly than the current entry-level plan.
  • Reduced storage: The 100GB storage offered in the basic plan might be reduced for the Lite version.
  • No family sharing: The Lite plan may not include the family sharing feature available in other tiers.
  • Google Photos perks intact: The Lite plan is expected to retain the Google Photos editing tools, including the Magic Eraser.

Why is Google doing this?

This move could be a strategy to attract more users to the Google One ecosystem by offering a more accessible entry point.

What's next?

It's important to note that this information is based on unofficial findings from an APK teardown, so we should treat it with caution. However, if the rumors are true, we can expect an official announcement from Google in August, possibly during the Pixel 9 launch event.
