What you need to know
- Google’s most recent smartphone lineup now includes ARCore platform support.
- The latest devices to be added to the list include the Pixel 7 series and the Pixel 6a.
- A slew of other models from Motorola, Oppo, Sony, Xiaomi, Infinix, and others have also jumped on board.
Google has updated the list of devices that support its ARCore augmented reality development kit. Unsurprisingly, the Google Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, and Pixel 6a are now on the list.
This means Google’s latest and greatest Android phones will be able to provide in-app ARCore features to users. For the uninitiated, ARCore is a platform for building augmented reality experiences using different APIs. The kit, for example, allows you to superimpose directions and details on your Google Maps Live View to help you reach your destination without getting lost. It accomplishes this by sensing its surroundings and tracking its position in relation to the rest of the world.
