More than three dozen new Android devices make the cut
Augmented reality has all kinds of applications in Android phones, including for e-commerce and gaming. ARCore is Google’s development suite for AR apps, but devices have to be certified to run ARCore-built apps. Certification means the device passes muster in a number of different areas, like camera quality and motion sensor accuracy. Newer phones keep on being added to the ARCore support list regularly, and now, a new set of more than 30 Android phones have received this certification, including smartphones from the likes of Motorola, OnePlus, and Xiaomi.
The list includes a number of relatively high-profile phones like the OnePlus 10 Pro and several recent Moto G-series devices. The following is the complete list of new smartphones that have been certified for ARCore support:
