🏅 How to get Google Play Services for AR Android for unsupported devices

Augmented reality uses your device to merge digital content with the real world. Unlike virtual reality (VR), no additional headsets, glasses, or equipment are required. Instead, you will only need your device’s camera and an AR app. ARCore is the platform created by Google to create augmented reality experiences. It was presented in 2017, a few months after the announcement of Apple’s ARkit, and it is the search engine company’s bet to compete in the war for augmented reality.

With the use of different APIs for developers, ARCore allows your phone to be used to analyze and detect its environment and understand the world around it. This means that your mobile will analyze the site where you are using its camera and different sensors, will make an internal map of the place, and with this information you will be able to implement augmented reality.

It will use the camera of your mobile to identify the points of interest that are in your environment. It detects flat surfaces like a door or a table, estimates the lighting in the site, and creates an internal map that allows you to measure distances and make estimates that allow you to know where everything is.

If you want to know if your mobile is compatible with ARCore, and therefore, if you can use the augmented reality functions that are designed with this technology, you have to enter verify device from Google where you will find the complete list of supported devices from all manufacturers with Android, Android for China, and iOS.

The list includes hundreds of mid- and high-end mobiles from the world’s leading manufacturers, although these devices must be at least a couple of years old. Simply press Control + F in your browser, and in the web search box type the name of your device to see if it is in the list. Google is updating the list with each new mobile that is launched and is compatible with its technology.

Google Play Services for AR installs and updates automatically on supported devices. This service allows you to enjoy augmented reality (AR) experiences created using ARCore. Thanks to automatic updates, applications with AR features will work without the need for additional downloads.

Previously, this service was called ARCore. Install the service and discover new ways to shop, learn, create and explore the world together.
