Google finally brings ARCore to China via Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S

-
Google has brought ARCore to China via the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S.ARCore apps are available in the Xiaomi App Store.ARCore is unlikely to be exclusive to Xiaomi for long as Google said it has "more partners coming soon." Google has finally brought ARCore to users in China. In a tweet, the company announced that owners of the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S are now able to download ARCore apps from the Xiaomi App Store. Previously, ARCore was only available on Google Play, which is blocked in the country.The statement from Google also mentions "more partners coming soon." This suggests that other manufacturers could be about to release ARCore in China on their own own app stores. Chinese brands OnePlus and Huawei already support ARCore on some of their devices.Starting today, #ARCore apps are available on Mix 2S devices from the Xiaomi App Store in China. More partners coming soon → https://t.co/16QoOTgqvepic.twitter.com/lT4TYXrzwF— Google AR & VR (@GoogleARVR) May 28, 2018The Xiaomi…

Google doesn't provide many more details, such as which apps specifically will be available from the Xiaomi App Store or even a number. It does mention that more partners will be coming soon, but again, there are no details beyond that. Nonetheless, it's nice to see that Google is working on getting ARCore out…

No, that Android P render isn’t meant to resemble the Pixel 3, but it might anyway

-
Google I/O is past us and the next big Google event is the hardware show presumably coming this October, so the internet is just itching for a good Google Pixel 3 leak. So of course it has taken a render that Google knowingly and intentionally included in the Android P Developer Preview 2 to be a "leak" of the company's forthcoming flagship smartphone…Ready to try the Pixelbook? Anyone who follows Google in the slightest knows that's almost certainly not the case here. Google was well aware of what it was shipping with the second developer preview. This was absolutely not an accident; it's not the same as cases (as often happens in our APK Insight series, for instance) where Google has slipped up and included renders underneath the surface.To be clear, the render appears in the Settings app for Android's new gesture-based navigation, and most have been aware of it since the very hour that Google dropped the preview on I/O day. The fact that this story is makin…
