Pixel 6 and 6 Pro join official ARCore support list

As expected, Google has now officially added the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro plus a further group of devices to the ARCore supported list.

Augmented reality experiences were touted as an integral component for the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro, with ARCore support almost guaranteed ahead of launch. However, Google’s own official supported devices list has only just been updated to include the flagship Pixel duo.

Prior to being added to this official ARCore support document, you were still able to access augmented reality experiences and take advantage of the tech on Pixel 6 hardware.

As you’ll notice from the list below, there are a few devices that have been available for a few months already, and like the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro, you’ve been able to access ARCore compatible in-app features such as Live View in Google Maps:

The ARCore supported device list is merely a formality – especially for the Pixel 6 series – but an important one nonetheless as it can often reveal unreleased hardware and confirms if any soon-to-be-launched tech will be able to access enhanced augmented reality experiences.
