Samsung s Galaxy S9 devices to now support Google s ARCore
San Francisco May 16 (IANS) Samsung s latest flagships Galaxy S9 and S9+ will reportedly now support Google s augmented reality (AR) developer platform ARCore.
"Google has updated its ARCore support page listing both the Galaxy S9 and the Galaxy S9+ with all major variants. This means that users will be able to download the ARCore app from Google Play on these devices " 9to5Google reported on Tuesday.

Once installed the Galaxy S9 devices will give users access to ARCore applications like Just a Line IKEA s Place and in-app features from Amazon or eBay.
