Yeah, I don't think shipping for all Androids would have been realistic. AR requires pretty tight tuning for the available hardware stack and I guess Googlers just tuned it for their own phone and the most popular flagship for start.
Apple has significantly easier job here - especially since it doesn't need to get OEM buy-in for these kind of things :/

Does this mean that the lower end OEMs may not provide this on new devices at all? Or if they do it themselves that it may be a very low-quality calibration so the feature doesn't work well?
