Furthermore, you might be curious to know what is inside the Android smartphone, which processor, how much memory and maybe even make a comparison with similar equivalent models.
To do all these checks, it is absolutely not necessary to be an electronic technician, just the right hardware test application is enough to verify that the mobile phone works well by doing all the work for us and giving us indisputable and clear results.
- DevCheck Hardware and System Info is the app to use to monitor the status of the hardware in real time, know everything on your smartphone and check that every part of it works well. You can then test the phone's camera, its accelerometer, GPS, vibration, sound, CPU, graphics processor, battery, memory, phone light sensor, proximity sensor and much more.
- Testy is a free app from 2020 for Android that shows complete information about the phone's performance, with beautiful graphics. You can test the screen, the pointer, the multi-touch, the network, the camera, the sensors, the fingerprint and the sim of the phone.
- Device Info-SIM, CPU, NETWORK, GPS, SENSORS and more shows basic information about the device on the main screen with a performance report.
- CPU Monitor - temperature, usage, performance, temperature measurement, CPU usage and performance of the Android phone, in real time and not only, also with data and history analysis. In addition, this app includes tools such as One Tap Boost, ram widgets, CPU widgets, battery widgets, floating window, overheating alarm and much more.
- Phone Tester is an easy-to-use Android mobile app for checking parts of the device and knowing if it is working well. You can test sensors, WiFi, phone signal, GPS status, battery health, multi-touch, system information and other things.
- Simple System Monitor is a system monitoring app full of controls, only apparently simple and clean for Android, which shows the exploitation of the various system components.
- Sensor Box is the app to test the various sensors of the smartphone, already mentioned in the article on the measurement Apps based on the sensors of the smartphone . It is therefore possible to check whether the accelerometer, light, orientation, proximity, temperature, gyroscope, sound, pressure sensor sensors are present and accurate.
- Phone Doctor Plus is, among these apps, the most beautiful to look at and most graphically cured. Phone Doctor offers 25 different tests to check that the phone is working well and shows on the main screen an overview of the tests made, telling us the status of battery, CPU, sensors and other hardware. By touching the button at the top center you will find the list of tests that can be done, that is: multitouch, display test, earphones and microphone, flash, camera, volume, buttons, headphone socket, sensors, CPY, memory, vibration, Bluetooth, Wifi, GPS, Cellular network and other things.
- Phone Check (and Test) allows you to discover the model and the technical details of the components and to test their correct functioning. It also shows a report on the current use of the components, including the processor workload, the battery status and the wireless communications active at that time.
- Geekbench includes CPU testing to quickly and accurately measure processor performance.
- Aida64 for Android allows you to view various diagnostic information for phones and tablets including CPU detection, core speed measurement, screen size, pixel density, camera information, level and battery temperature monitoring, etc
- CPU-Z is an app for knowing name, architecture, clock speed for each core, system information, make and model, screen resolution, RAM, memory, battery information.
- Accubattery to estimate the real capacity of the battery, is the best application for testing its health.
