There are many 3D model viewers for Android (for example [Emb3D](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.transformandlighting.emb3d) is quite nice) which can open .obj files that can contain large number of objects. I did not search a lot, but couldn’t find one that can easily show/hide individual objects in the model (of a specific material in an .obj file).

You can [view the Slicer scene on Android phone in virtual reality](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/connecting-htc-vive-with-3d-slicer/1299/17?u=lassoan), but it requires a running desktop computer and currently you cannot interact with the models just view them.

There could be web-browser-based solutions as well. There are several websites that allows you to view 3D models on your phone, see for example [https://sketchfab.com/](https://sketchfab.com/).
