ARCore 1.5 is here to help developers build better AR applications. It supports four new devices, LG Q6, LG Q8, Asus ROG Phone, and Galaxy Tab S3.
Google ARCore has really taken off recently. The augmented reality platform has been getting the support of many new devices. Unlike its predecessor, Tango, it doesn't require any dedicated hardware in order to work. Everything is made on the software end, which helped ARCore find the popularity and compatibility across a variety of devices. Today, we have something new. Google decided to not only announce the new devices support, but also the newer version of ARCore.
LG Q6 Android Oreo update adds DTS:X 3D stereo sound & new camera LED features
The LG Q6 is getting an update to Android Oreo (8.1), which adds DTS:X 3D stereo sound support along with a number of cool new camera LED features.
The LG Q6 is a low-end Android smartphone released last year powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 435. Being a low-end phone, the expectation is that it won't receive many (if any) software updates. It launched with Android 7.1 Nougat last year and hasn't received a major update since. That's set to change, though, as according to a report from Korean publication kbench, it's being updated to Android Oreo (Android 8.1). That update has a few added extras, including DTS:X 3D stereo sound and a number of new camera LED features.
