Very often we hear about the Google Play Console and very often we misunderstand its meaning. Just today the Redmi K40 Gaming Edition, Xiaomi's new smartphone, has been certified by the Google-owned platform. It was said (wrongly) that that device would be arrived on the market as a "Global" smartphone. In reality this is not the case and in fact the proof is that will come to us as POCO F3GT. So, what is this certification for? Let's understand it together.
What is the Google Play Console? How does mobile device certification work? Does it really mean that these will go global?
As anticipated, it is very often stated that the certification of a device on the Google Play Console it means the imminent arrival of the same in the global market. However, we know that this is not the case. First of all, what do you do on this platform? As a rule, the developers and creators of videogame material above publish their applications which will subsequently be checked by Google and published on the Play Store. But in reality the certifications we are talking about are a very different thing.
When the Google Play Console certifies a smartphone, as in the case of the Redmi K40 Gaming Edition we are seeing in the image, what does this mean? As we said, it does not mean that this will come in a global version but simply that about it so-called Google services, also called GMS, can be installed. As many of us know, smartphones from China do not have the framework to "read" Google services since the "Great Firewall”Chinese does not allow you to access it.
However, some companies such as Xiaomi plans (or at least planned) to install such a framework in such a way that they can use a device China but with GMS services. Basically, taking the aforementioned Redmi K40 as a reference, in addition to arriving in the Global version as POCO F3 GT, the Chinese one can also be used (after installation by us of the GMS).
