What does it mean for a device to be supported? In short, it means it has passed our certification process.

Certification is important because we want users to have a good experience with your AR application. This is primarily related to sensitive motion tracking, which is done by combining the camera image and the motion sensor input to determine how the user's device moves through the real world.

To certify each device, we check the quality of the camera, motion sensors, and the design architecture to ensure it performs as expected. Also, the device needs to have a powerful enough CPU that integrates with the hardware design to ensure good performance and effective real-time calculations.

We are constantly working with manufacturers to make sure their hardware and designs meet these requirements. At the same time, we are working internally to make sure ARCore integrates well with every model we certify to provide good experiences for users.

See Fundamental Concepts for more details.

Supported device models

A list of specific device models that are currently supported are listed here:

• Android device emulators
• Android (Google Play)
• Android (China)
• iOS

Android device emulators

Android (Google Play)

The Android devices listed here support ARCore via Google Play Services for AR, which enables augmented reality (AR) experiences built with an ARCore SDK, if the following conditions are met:

1. The device originally shipped with the Google Play Store

2. The device is running the minimum Android version listed in table below
   If no version is listed, the device must be running Android 7.0 or newer

   • "AR Optional" apps must declare minSdkVersion ≥ 19 (API Level 19)

   • "AR Required" apps must declare minSdkVersion ≥ 24
     (API Level 24)

Additional information about ARCore supported devices can be viewed in or downloaded from the Google Play Console, including the following model-specific information:

• CPU/GPU SoC (System on chip)

• Screen sizes and densities

• Supported ABIs

• Android API level

• OpenGL ES versions

• Device model codes as returned by adb shell getprop ro.product.device

To download the CSV file:

1. Upload an AR Required (Android Kotlin/Java, Android NDK, or ARCore Extensions for Unity's AR Foundation app to the Google Play Console.

2. Select the AR Required app, and from the Reach and devices drop-down menu, select Device catalog; then, above the device list and on the left side of the page, click Download device list.

Device list (table)

The following table summarizes supported models by manufacturer. Model-specific restrictions are noted in the comments. In addition:

• OpenGL ES: The vast majority of devices support OpenGL ES 3.2. All devices support at least OpenGL ES 3.0. Device-specific information is available from the Google Play Console.

• Depth API: As of November 2024, approximately 90% of active devices support the Depth API.

Android (China)

In China, devices do not ship with the Google Play Store. The Android devices listed here support ARCore via Google Play Services for AR, which is available as a separate downloadable service from these app stores:

• Xiaomi app store (小米应用商店)
• Huawei Apps Gallery (华为应用商店)
• OPPO APP Market (OPPO 软件商店)
• Samsung Galaxy Apps (三星应用市场)
• V-Appstore (vivo应用商店)

ARCore supports these devices sold in the China region:

iOS

Cloud Anchors is supported on all ARKit-compatible devices running iOS 12.0 or later.

• The Cloud Anchors SDK can be compiled for apps targeting iOS 12.0 or later.
• Cloud Anchors is not supported on iOS devices that are older than the devices in the following list.

Augmented Faces is supported on all ARKit-compatible devices running iOS 12.0 or later.

• The Augmented Faces SDK can be compiled for apps targeting iOS 12.0 or later.
• Augmented Faces may work on iOS devices that are older than the devices in the following list, but may not operate at the required frame rates for live AR use cases.

The following iOS devices have been verified to work with both Cloud Anchors and Augmented Faces.
