Are you going to need an unlimited data plan to use The 8 Pro's Video Boost feature? (lemmy.ca)

From my understanding, the P8P's video boost can't be done in the phone itself, but it's actually uploading the video to Google's servers, processing it there, then downloading the finished product back again. In fact, it probably uploads two videos, one at high ISO and one at low ISO to get the full HDR range.

For anyone who wants to take lots of videos, this sounds like it'll blow through your data caps very quickly.

You totally can. I missed the part about the videos taking overnight to process, so there's apparently no reason to upload them immediately.

It would still suck for people with data caps at home, like rural Americans or people who just use cellular hotspot to serve as home internet
