You can now use augmented reality apps on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2, Xiaomi POCO M2 Pro, ASUS ROG Phone 3, and much more

The list of devices that support Google Play Services for AR is growing. The app, formerly Google ARCore, provides the ARCore SDK for developers to build augmented reality apps on Android.

Google Play Services for AR will be pushed to the below devices over the Google Play Store, and users can start downloading and/or using augmented reality features in apps, such as Live View in Google Maps or AR+ in Pokémon Go.

In order for a device to support Play Services for AR, Google works with the OEM to calibrate the cameras and sensors to ensure that they work properly for AR. Once that’s done, the company whitelists the device so Play Services for AR can be pushed to the device and apps using the ARCore SDK can enable their features on these devices.

Here’s the list of new devices that support Google Play Services for AR:

• ASUS ROG Phone 3
• HMD Global Nokia 8.3 5G
• Infinix Mobile Zero 8
• LG K71
• Motorola Moto G9 Play
• Motorola One 5G

If your device isn’t on the list of supported devices, you’ll have to have root to enable it. However, you might run into issues due to the lack of a proper calibration configuration.
