Galaxy S20 family supports AR objects in Google Search

Google Search helps you to view thousands of 3D models such as objects, pets, skeletons, cells, Neil Armstrong’s spacesuit and much more on many Android devices. You can push these objects into your home by pressing a button, and see them as if they were in the viewfinder of your camera. You can also snap pictures and take videos. The list of supported phones is continuously increasing — devices such as the Sony Xperia 1 II, the Poco X2, the Xiaomi Redmi K30, and the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite from Samsung made the cut we were tested in early June, and now a few more are showing up, including the Galaxy S20 series flagship.

What’s a big-name phone like that just coming to the ARCore list of Google now? That’s far from unique about how Google handles the file, and similarly, last year, the S10 family only showed up after launch. In addition to the updated list, Google is also expanding it to report compatibility with the new Depth API, our other major news of the day for ARCore itself.

Here is the complete list of new devices added as of June. Our new additions are daring:

• LG K61
• LG Signature Edition 2019
• LG V50S ThinQ
• moto g power
• motorola edge
• motorola edge plus
• Oppo realme 6
• Oppo realme 6 Pro
• Oppo Reno3
• Oppo Reno3 5G
• Oppo Reno3 Pro 5G
• Samsung Galaxy A31
• Samsung Galaxy A41
• Samsung Galaxy S20
• Samsung Galaxy S20+ 5G
• Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G
• Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite
• Sony Xperia 1 II
• Vivo iQOO 3 5G
• Xiaomi Mi 10
• Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite 5G
• Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro

If you own one of these, you should already be able to use ARCore features. The functionality comes as part of Google Play Services for AR, which should be automatically installed on your phone as soon as it’s officially supported.
