Google leaks Asus Zenfone 8 Flip and other unreleased smartphones

---

Google recently turned the tide on a number of unannounced smartphones with an update it pushed to its list of devices that support ARCore.

First spotted by 9to5Google, the updated support document for Google’s augmented reality platform included references to previously unreleased phones from eight Android OEMs. The full update added 23 Android devices to the list, most of which have already been released. However, there have been some new additions that have yet to see the light of day.

Unannounced and unreleased phones on Google’s ARCore support list included the following names:

Some phones stand out more than others in this list. For example, the Zenfone 8 Flip, which has yet to be announced or even officially teased. The smartphone could be Asus’ next flagship phone with the Snapdragon 888 processor. Of course, its name also suggests that it would likely house a flippy camera similar to that of the Zenfone 7 series.

There was also a reference to the Moto G100. The phone is believed to be the global model of the Motorola Edge S with the Snapdragon 870 processor.

The Realme 8 Pro also made an appearance on the list. The company plans to launch the phone March 24 to support Redmi Note 10 series devices.

The Bosch OPPO Reno 5 Pro Plus 5G could be a special variant of the existing OPPO Reno 5 Pro Plus 5G.

Meanwhile, Samsung’s Galaxy A52 and A72 phones have already been leaked a lot. We’ll likely see them released later this week at the company’s Unpacked launch event. The Galaxy A82 5G is expected to be Samsung’s second phone with a QRNG chip like the Galaxy A Quantum.

As expected, once the updated list was discovered, Google quickly removed the 23 newly added Android devices. The company has likely jumped the gun and will update the list once these phones are announced or released.
