Google is making a good development in adding more number of devices to the list of ARCore supported devices. As soon as a new smartphone arrives in the market, Google makes serious efforts to add it to the official list of ARCore supported devices. The newest device to join this list is the Xiaomi Mi 9T aka Redmi K20.

This report has been confirmed by some of the users on the Reddit platform, as can be seen in the image below:

The user also confirmed that with the support of ARCore on the Xiaomi Mi 9T, they can install AR-based apps directly from the Google Play Store. However, the actual device list of the supported ARCore smartphones hasn’t been updated on the website as yet. You can see for yourself:

Earlier, when the device wasn’t ARCore compatible, users had to install the AR-based app via sideloading them since those apps showed “incompatible in your device” message.
