ARCore supports the following devices only
Google Pixel, Pixel XL, Pixel 2, Pixel 2 XL
Samsung Galaxy S8
Check out ARCoreForAll. You could also try installing the arcore apk provided by google onto a tablet to see if it works. I have had a significant amount of luck installing the official arcore apk on non-supported devices.

It is not possible to install Google AR Core on Galaxy Tab S4 SM-T835. Google Play is showing the message that application is not compatible with device. (anyway it is showed as AR Core compatible).
https://developers.google.com/ar/discover/supported-devices
We can't even install any of ARCore compatible applications that way.
The device has been brough for development and testing of ARCore applications.
We have just received an answer from local Samsung comunity support, that it's not an Samsung application and that way the Samsung has no possibility to change it, and it's needed to contact an developer, in that case a google corporation. They are sorry, but they couldn't help me in that case.
Should we choose another device by different manufacturer (aka avoid Samsung devices) to get compatibility with ARCore? And what device is absolutely compatible one?
At the moment Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 is compatible with ARCore 1.8. And it requires Android 8.0 or later. Galaxy Tab S4 SM-T835 model has all the necessary sensors: Gyroscope, Accelerometer, Compass, and RGB-camera.
There was some compatibility's delay for Samsung gadgets but now everything works perfectly.
Hope this helps.
Exist the possibility to support more devices? For example, I have a Huawei Nova Plus, I think this phone fit with all the hardware and software capabilities to support applications developed with ARCore.
Exist the possibility to support more devices?
Yes
But probably only new ones.
Support ARCore is not about how new or old your device is, but if it has gyroscopes, cameras, accelerometers, miniaturized high-resolution displays.
And if it pass for some tests before get launched.
So even maybe new devices will not be support.
You don't need to instal it manualy if you instal an AR-optional app it will be downloaded automaticly. Click down below to get what i mean:

Tbh I guess its possible, the Huawei Nova 2 Plus has a gyroscope, a accelerometer, and a camera, I even contacted google about this, because I wish my phone (a Huawei nova 2 Plus) can run ARcore :)
When I build and run the "Hello Sceneform" and "Solar System" projects that I downloaded while following the Android Quickstart https://developers.google.com/ar/develop/java/quickstart, all I see on my phone (a Galaxy S9) are these shifting gray/black lines, with the moving ARCore hand/phone on top.
I can download and run ARCore apps from the store without a hitch. The S9 is the only ARCore-compatible phone I can test with. I'm using Android Studio 3.2 preview, Windows 10, ARCore 1.2, and Android 8.0.0.
When I try running on any emulator device, it immediately crashes before displaying anything, which is likely due to the fact that I don't think my desktop GPU supports OpenGL ES 3.1, based on the output when I run "adb logcat | grep eglMakeCurrent". Right now my goal is just to get it working on my phone, though.
The grey bars for the Galaxy S9 is a bug (see: https://github.com/google-ar/sceneform-android-sdk/issues/28).
As of July 18th it is still open.
I had the same issue. Try using the NDK Quickstart instructions instead, found here.
After a few installations and updates of Gradle, etc.
running /samples/hello_ar_c via USB to an S9
worked flawlessy. Hope this helps.
I hope there is no other topic with the same question but I couldn't find anything related.
Is there a list of supported future devices for ARCore and when those will be probably available? I just got a Huawei Mate10 pro and would love to know when it will be supported.
I'm also up for testing alpha/beta versions.
The ARCore developer previews currently only work with Pixel (XL), Pixel 2 (XL) and Samsung Galaxy S8 devices.
You may want to follow this thread on ARCore's GitHub issues: https://github.com/google-ar/arcore-android-sdk/issues/89
In the meantime, if you want to get started developing for AR and you have an ARKit (iOS) compatible device, you can try Viro React which is a cross-platform AR/VR platform with a write once run everywhere type of a deal.
None can read the future, but you can follow the official list of supported phones as it grows:
https://developers.google.com/ar/discover/
As of 11/march/2018:
Google Pixel
Asus Zenfone AR
LG V30/V30+
OnePlus 5
Samsung Galaxy: S7, S7 edge, S8, S8+, Galaxy 8
I have tried Google ARCore for "unsupported" Android devices, and it's just crash ...
Is ARCore will be compatible with Samsung SM-N950W (Note 8)?
Thanks.
Samsung recently announced that they will be supporting ARCore for more of their devices(scroll to the "Leadership in Augmented Reality" section), which includes the Galaxy Note 8.
The current developer preview, however, is still only supported by three devices: Pixel, Pixel XL, and Samsung Galaxy S8.
