Harry Potter: Wizards Unite is augmented reality supported, that means devices has specific hardware requirements. For example, GPS and location services are necessary to play the game, so unfortunately, Niantic cannot support some of the devices.
Niantic announced, they will use the same game core with Pokemon GO in Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, too, but some of the devices which are compatible with Pokemon GO haven’t be compatible with Wizards Unite yet.

To get news and updates of Wizards Unite follow our social media accounts.
I wish they would make it available for more phone’s I can play Pokemon go on my phone but it says that I’m not compatible with this game on my phone
What is your phone’s model?
What about Huawei Mate 10 Lite?
I also have a Huawei mate 10 lite and when I search for Wizards Unite I see the message that it isn’t compatible so…
I’m sorry. When I wrote the reply, Wizards Unite had not published yet, and the features of Huawei Mate 10 Lite were enough for the game. I made a guess by using the information about the features, but I was wrong. The device is not compatible with Wizards Unite, and I put the device to the unsupported devices list. However, I’m sure that it will be compatible with Wizards Unite when the game is released.
How about honor 7 lite (aka 5C)? It says not available for your device, but i should have all the system reuirements…
Who says it? Is it Google Play Store?
What about Sony phones? i am ready to Play. it being spring holiday and such
If we learn about your device model, we can say something about that. What is your phone’s model?
I’m playing Pokemon Go on my Infocus Turbo 5 but play store says Wizards unite isn’t compatible with my device. Can i hope it’ll be available on my phone too. It has 3GB RAM and runs on Android 7.0
Can you try to install Wizards Unite by using APK file? My phone (Samsung Galaxy J7) is not compatible, too, but I installed Wizards Unite by using APK file.
i also get the message in google play, that my device is incompatible (samsung s8+),
it doesn’t even allow me to install it to actually try, if it will work anyway…
My answer may help you: https://harrypotter.gameinfo.gg/wizards-unite/supported-devices/#comment-1551
What about iPhone 7 plus?? It’s not listed. Must be a mistake.
I’m sorry, it was a mistake. iPhone 7 Plus is compatible with Wizards Unite.
Samsung A50 mobile are compatible devices ?
sorry, my mobile is Samsung Galaxy A50
We don’t know any clear information, but its features are enough for Wizards Unite. Your phone may be compatible with it.
At the moment it does not work on my p9. I hope it will be compatible soon
Yes, it is not compatible with your phone, but we are sure that Wizards Unite will be compatible with your phone soon. It is Beta now. When it is released, most of the devices will be compatible with it.
How about Huawei GR5 2017?
We don’t have clear information about the device, but it may be not compatible. When we learn about anything about that, we will reply to your comment. Keep in touch.
What about the Samsung Galaxy Note series? They aren’t listed here. I’m using a Galaxy Note 5 currently.
Samsung Galaxy S9 is compatible with the game, but we don’t have any information about Samsung Galaxy Note 5 yet. Keep in touch with us.
Why you aceptes ten Samsung J7, and no the J8????
We created the list by using the information comes from our members and followers. We know Samsung S7 is compatible with Wizards Unite, but we don’t have any information about J8. If you have Samsung J8, you can try to install the game by using Wizards Unite APK file, and you can give the information about that to us.
Huawei p20???
There isn’t any information about Huawei P20, but P20 Lite is compatible. I believe P20 is compatible, too. Even if it is not compatible now, it will certainly be compatible with the game when it is released all over the world.
How about xiaomi mi 8
Because the Wizards Unite game is Beta, it is not compatible with the game on Google Play. However, you can install and play the game by usin APK file. You can use the link below to download Wizards Unite APK file.
https://harrypotter.gameinfo.gg/wizards-unite/download-apk/
Hi! I have a Xiaomi Redmi 6. In your list it is no compatible but I installed the game apk and it works. In the play store said my device it is not compatible. So, is it compatible or not? I’m confused.
It is not compatible on Google Play, but you can install and play it by using APK file. The reason for this problem is that the Wizards Unite game is Beta. When it is released for everyone, it will be compatible with most of the devices.
Hi! I have a Oppo A83. In your list there is no mention of this set. So please tell me whether my set is compatible or not?
It seems that has enough hardware to run Wizards Unite, but it may be incompatible with the game for Beta. I believe your phone will be compatible with Wizards Unite when it is released.
Hey i have a oneplus 3 and installed the beta apk, it worked just fine.
Thank you for the feedback. I’ve added the phone on the list. Thanks to you we can develop our guide.
What about Motorola E4?
Motorola E4 might be not compatible with Wizards Unite now, but I believe it will be compatible with the game when it is released.
I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro SE.
Play store said it is compatible with my phone, let me download and install it today. Game launched and started the tutorial, but when I got to the part where it opened my camera, a popup opened and said “Your device is not compatible”, and the game shut down. Now the game won’t even get past the first loading screen before saying “your device is not compatible”.
What about Samsung a5?
Its features are compatible with Wizards Unite, but Samsung A5’s release date is 2017, so it might not compatible with the game now. However, don’t worry! Samsung A5 will be compatible with the game when the game is released.
Okay so phones on the Unsupported list aren’t compatible at the moment, but does that mean the won’t be compatible when the game officialy comes out? I have a Huawei P9 Lite
Don’t worry. Devices on the unsupported list aren’t compatible with “Wizards Unite” now, but most of the devices will be compatible when the game is released.
Any idea if the Samsung J7 Top (2018, SM-J737) is compatible?
The features of Samsung J7 Top is enough for Wizards Unite, but it may be incompatible with the beta version of Wizards Unite. However, the device will be compatible with Wizards Unite when it is released.
Cant i play on me Huawei p20 pro??
We don’t have any information about Huawei P20 Pro, but its features are enough for Wizards Unite. Even if Wizards Unite Beta doesn’t work on Huawei P20 Pro, it will be work when the game is released.
Samsung J5 (2017) works
Thank you for the feedback. I edited the list by using the information you gave.
Hi I have a Sony Xperia z2 and z5 Im already registered (did it using my z2) but unable to find anything in the playstore on my z5.
It is probably incompatible with Wizards Unite.
why is it not compatible with samsumg galaxy j7 (2016) ;-;
I wanna play this app so much, just like Pokemon GO
You can probably play it, but not now. When it is released as a full version. Don’t worry. Wizards Unite is beta now.
No Nexus phones appear on either supported/not supported list….. When I try to pre-register, I’m told my device isn’t compatible :/
Even if your Nexus device is not supported by “Wizards Unite” now, depends on the features of your phone, when the game is released the game will probably work on your phone. What is the features of your Nexus phone?
I have a Galaxy S10 and the Galaxy Store says my phone is not compatible and thus can’t pre-register from there. But was able to do so on the Google Play Store.
Wizards Unite is compatible with Samsung Galaxy S10. Probably, there was a problem with the Galaxy Store.
I’m not sure what the story is but the Google Play store says that it’s not compatible with my Nexus 6p. Despite meeting the requirements and being able to play Pogo and Ingress Prime. Google play store also says that my previous two devices HTC One M7 and M8 are compatible, yet I know they have difficulties playing Prime and Pogo.
It is not a problem because Wizards Unite is beta now. When the game is released, your device will probably be compatible with it.
I think it might be a google play store bug which is saying my device is incompatible, as I side loaded the above APK and it installed without issues, but got the message that the application was out of date and needed to be updated which took me to the play store to say that it was incompatible. ARG!
I’m hoping to play this and the phone I’m hoping to use is Samsung galaxy note and have met the requirements but Google play is saying it’s no longer compatible with your device
What is your Galaxy Note full model number?
Model number is cubot X18
Will it work in a MOTOROLA MOTO E 4? I think it has the ram. It definietky has the storage!
The features of Motorola Moto E4 is enough for Wizards Unite. Most likely it will work on your device.
My smartphone Sony Xperia Z5 Premium no compatible in Harry Potter yet
I don’t see my Umidigi One Pro listed on either list, but my phone has all the requirements, so I should be OK, I hope.
I hope it is compatible with the game, but even if it is not compatible now, I believe it will be compatible when the game is released.
I see LG stylo 2 V or something. I currently have LG Stylo 4. I also have the incompatible device message.
I believe it will be compatible with Wizards Unite because it is a new device and has the required features.
I was registered with my phone and now it unregistered me and says my device isn’t compatible anymore. I have a LG k20 plus and it was registered even developer emailed me saying my phone will work when I emailed them but now I can never play Harry Potter wizards unite unless I buy a new $200 to $300 dollar phone. Ilme anfmd my little brother waited months to play this and you guys jus Shattered our hopes.
I’m sorry about that, but the email might be right. We don’t have any other way in order to play Wizards Unite. If the publisher says that your device is not compatible, we can’t change that.
I have a lg k20. It says not compatible. Is that true?
Yes, it is true, but your device may be compatible with Wizards Unite when it is released. However, I’m not sure about that. Even if your device has all the device requirements, the game might not be compatible with your device because your device is old.
Im in Australia and Google play keeps saying that this game is not available in my country why is that
What is the country of your Play Store account? Is it Australia? If it is not, you have to change your country on Google Play Store.
I have a LG g stylo 4, and it meets the requirements. Why isn’t it supported? I have been waiting for months for this game.
We don’t know why it is not supported. We just know some information given by developers. Wizards Unite is in the beta program now. I believe a lot of devices not supported might be supported when it is released.
Mate 20 Lite?
We don’t have any feedback about Mate 20 Lite for the beta version of Wizards Unite. However, it is ok for the required features. I think Mate 20 Lite will be compatible with Wizards Unite.
do you know If the red magice 3 will work with the game
Red Magic 3’s features are enough, but it hasn’t released yet.
Samsung galaxy S5 is not compatible with this game. I noticed you don’t have s5 on either list but my son has tried to download it only to find his device isn’t compatible.
Thank you for the feedback. I’ve added Galaxy S5 on the list.
What abt Huawei p30 lite?
Its features are ok for Wizards Unite. It will probably be compatible with Wizards Unite.
Hey guys!
I have a Samsung Galaxy A3 2017 – checks out for all of the criteria, but my Google Play says it is still not supported.
What else could be the reason for this?
Wizards Unite is in the beta program now. I think the reason is that. When the game is released, Samsung Galaxy A3 2017 will probably be compatible with the game.
I see you have the Galaxy S 10 but not Galaxy S 10+ listed. Is the S10+ compatible?
We’ve created the list by using the feedbacks sent by our users. Galaxy S10 is compatible, but we don’t have any information about S10+. S10 and S10+ both have similar features, so I believe they are both compatible with Wizards Unite.
Hi, I have an Asus Zenfone Max 3, but I’m in Cuba so, Do I be able to play it?
If Wizards Unite is released in Cuba, you can. However, we don’t have any information about Wizards Unite for Cuba.
So stupid I can play Pokemon go but not this?
If you can play Pokemon Go, I believe you can play Wizards Unite when it is released.
Hello. I just want to know why this game isn’t compatible with Samsung j6? I really want this app and I preregistered months ago.
Because Wizards Unite is in the beta program now. I believe J6 will be compatible with Wizards Unite when it is released.
is it saying it’s not compatible now because the same happened to me
Work fine in Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1
Thank you for the feedback. I will update the list.
So it’s not compatible with the Samsung Galaxy J7 V? Well, it’s just another way for that company to force me to play that cr*ppy Pokemon game!
Samsung Galaxy J7 has the required features. Even if it is not compatible now, it will probably be compatible with Wizards Unite when the game is released.
I was able to pre register when it all began but now it says it’s not compatiable. I have a Samsung J7 Sky pro
You should wait until Wizards Unite is released. If you get the same error when the game is released, you can download and install the APK file in order to play Wizards Unite:
https://harrypotter.gameinfo.gg/wizards-unite/download-apk/
I was registered with my phone and now it unregistered me and says my device isn’t compatible anymore.
I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 and Note 7
Their features are ok, you have to wait until the game is released.
What about iphone 5c its compatible? We have iOS 10+
There isn’t iPhone 5c in supported iPhones list on Apple App Store, so, it may not compatible with Wizards Unite.
Will more phones be able to have access in the future? I have Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016, Android 8.1.0).
Thank you
Yes, it will.
will they be making this compatible with the samsung j6 gutted I cant play

I have a samsung J3 and it says it’s not compatible though I can play Pokemon Go, Jurassive Alive, Ingress etc. Just makes no sense to me. Though Hogwarts Mystery isn’t compatbile either. Wish I could afford a better phone :'(
I’m sorry about that, but the memory (RAM) of your device is 1.5 GB. It is not enough for Wizards Unite 🙁
Why is this game not compatible with my ZTE Blade zMax? I can play Pokemon Go with no issues.
I don’t know the reason, but the features of your device are enough for Wizards Unite. If you want the alternative method by using the link below:

When will Harry potter Wizards unite be available in the US . I am a big Harry potter fan and i always get excited when ever i hear about anything Harry potter related ,
It lives in the US now. You can find it on the Google Play Store or Apple App Store by searching for “Wizards Unite”.
I don’t see the LG K30 on either list. I guess I won’t be able to play :/
The specs of LG K30 are enough for Wizards Unite. You can use this method for now:
https://harrypotter.gameinfo.gg/wizards-unite/troubleshooting/your-device-isnt-compatible-with-this-version/
It will be compatible with Huawei P20? On the play store it show me “Pre-registered” Still… What does it mean?
Yes, if your device is still pre-registered, it means your device is compatible.
I have a Samsung J3 2018 is that compatable with this game?

My daughter is unhappy that her Samsung S5Neo isn’t compatible, yet she can play Pokemon Go with no concerns.
Does anyone know if there will be an update to allow more phones to play?
We don’t know when Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo will be compatible. Its features seem enough, but it is an old device. I wish your daughter can play Wizards Unite. Alternatively, you can try the method below:
https://harrypotter.gameinfo.gg/wizards-unite/troubleshooting/your-device-isnt-compatible-with-this-version/
It works on Samsung Tab A (2017) (that’s a tablet, Wi-Fi only, i.e. needs to be hotspotted), but only if installed from a downloaded APK (2.0.1).
PS. On this page, when you leave a comment it has a note that for some strange reason shows in Turkish: “Beni haber bültenine kaydet”, which essentially means to subscribe to a newsletter, and which is checked by default. This combination is not nice: most people wouldn’t bother checking the translation.
We’ree sorry about that. It is a translation error. We’ll fix this problem. I added Samsung Tab A on the list.
Further info on Samsung Tab A 2017:
1. The tablet is much slower to load the modules than, say a powerful phone. So, it is not the greatest experience, but my kid enjoys it nevertheless.
2. Google Play thinks that it is not compatible. So, updates need to be side-loaded (APK downloaded and installed locally), but that works smoothly.
3. The only thing that doesn’t work on Samsung Tab A (2017) is using portkeys: The tablet lacks orientation sensor, so that module doesn’t work. We have to log out on the tablet, log in temporarily on a different “supported” phone and use the portkey there.
I suspect a similar situation would be with many “budget” phones that don’t have an orientation sensor. And that’s probably why Niantic marks them as “not compatible”.
Do you know if they are going to update the compatibility of the other phones? My LG aristo 3 plays POGO just fine but not this 🙁
Unfortunately, we don’t know 🙁 Can you try this method: https://harrypotter.gameinfo.gg/wizards-unite/troubleshooting/your-device-isnt-compatible-with-this-version/
My Moto G6 Play gets the incompatible message. Brand new phone I bought last month running on Android 8.0.0 with 5G of space.
Yes, the features of Moto G6 are enough. I believe it will be compatible with Wizards Unite. If you want, you can try an alternative method:
https://harrypotter.gameinfo.gg/wizards-unite/troubleshooting/your-device-isnt-compatible-with-this-version/
Will the LG Stylo 4 get compatability with this?
I have samsung s4 and it is not compatible.
Yes, it is. Your device doesn’t have enough features.
The APK works on the J8 you just can’t install it from the store it gives a generic error about not being able to install
I have a galaxy J7 V. Pokemon go is compatable, but this isnt. Will it be?
You can try the APK file:
https://harrypotter.gameinfo.gg/wizards-unite/download-apk/
I keep getting the message Not available in your country.” I live in the US.
Moto G 5 is not compatible.
Doesn’t work on the Sony Z5

Samsung J5 2017 seems like incompatible. I’m sorry about that.
