After adding a bunch of new phones support and V1 release at the MWC 2018 event and announcing a range of ARCore apps last week, Google is rolling the update to ARCore app bringing its version number to V1.1 revealing its support for more devices.
Digging a little deep in the V1.1 release, there are a large set of device profiles in a folder aptly named /assets/device_profile_database. Each file contains settings appropriate for a given phone's cameras and sensors. While there's nothing much to tell about the content in the files, but the names of the phones are a big giveaway.
A total of 59 phones were added most of which are carrier-named variants. Since few of the models are listed by manufacturer codename, it was harder to identify. Several names are belonging to the Galaxy S9 and S9+ variants, but it's obvious that these flagships would gradually get the support.

Google Chrome casting functionality has the biggest shortcoming; it simply cannot cast local files be it audio or video. It works great for casting online videos, a tab, or even your entire screen, but fails to reciprocate the same with local audio or video file natively. However, Google today announced that it is testing the ability to cast local files directly within the browser.
For now, the feature is only available in Chrome's beta channel, and the option will show up when you select 'Cast' in the browser menu and choosing 'Cast file' from the dropdown list. It will then ask you to choose the file, be it audio or video and stream it to any Cast-enabled device. However, the functionality is only available for a small set of users.
There's still a way to force the experiment on your browser, and it's fairly straightforward. All you got to do is just enable the 'features=EnableCastLocalMedia' switch and restart the browser. However, the process for doing so varies depending on the operating system.
