Unannounced ARCore smartphones

ARCore is Google’s platform for the experience of augmented reality. It uses APIs in ARCore enabled smartphones to determine the environment and interact with it. These APIs are available for Android and iOS.

According to AndroidPolice, the ARCore team just rolled out a list of new smartphones and tablets that appears to bring the augmented reality framework. Some of the products are not even announced yet. These include OnePlus 6T, Nokia 9, and ROG Phone. Some older models of Sony like Sony Xperia X, is also on the list.

OnePlus 6T is not released, but the list clearly shows without using any codename. Other devices appear with their respective code names, some of which are easy to understand. For example, the Nokia 9 with name AOP_sprout and Nokia Phoenix with PNX_sprout.

If you have one of these old devices, you should be able to install ARCore from the Play Store. It may take a few hours to a few days before the Play Store enables access for newly supported devices.

Along with the new devices, some old devices could also be found in the supported list, including Huawei, Samsung, Sony, Vivo, etc.
