Google One, a subscription providing storage for various Google apps, is an excellent option for those concerned about the Google ecosystem offering a low starting price, a simple backup system and other features for Pixel, and Android users.
Recently, Google announced the cheaper version of the app called Google One Lite which might mainly focus on Google's photo backup solution and bring cheaper options and more flexibility for the subscription cloud storage service.
According to the little information that is available right now about the new plan, here are our speculations on what Google One Lite might offer.

What's new on Google One Lite
As there is no official word on the plan yet, so in the best-case scenario, Google One Lite is a brand-new plan that might replace the Basic or Standard plans to open up room for a 500GB or 1TB plan. Moreover, it might also become a more affordable 50GB plan for only $1 per month.
There is also a possibility that Google One Lite might just be a renamed version of either the Basic plan i.e. $2 per month or the free plan that already exists for all Google account holders.
Since the "Lite" word is usually used for free plans, it is possible there would be no more flexibility and no meaningful changes.
Google One features
Apart from the new plan of Google One, the platform has seen a wide range of changes recently which are as follows.
Google One VPN was discontinued last month, which was a huge disappointment for those who enjoyed protecting their online activity free of cost.
Moreover, Google One might also remove the dark web monitoring from the service, however, it will add it to the overall Google account, enabling access to everyone instead of just Google One subscribers.
It's important to note that these are all speculations based on the code found within the Google Photos app as Google has not yet officially confirmed any details about its features or pricing.
