To know what type of mobile phone you have, there are some Android mobile applications that provide detailed information on the computer processor, GPU and hardware in general. This allows you to find out which CPU is installed on the phone and make sure it is the one advertised by the manufacturer, but above all to compare the performance with those of other phones and see if it is more or less powerful . When you buy the latest Samsung Galaxy, Xiaomi or Huawei Honor, it can be interesting to know if you have bought the best on the market or if there was better.
To know everything about the hardware of the mobile phone, you can install the CPU-Z application that allows you to know everything about the installed Android version, the Kernel, the CPU, the GPU, the Core and much more .
There is also a section to check the battery power, to know the amount of RAM used and the free one and the internal memory of the phone to save files. The application can be useful, for example, to make sure that the phone or tablet is not a fake, or to test the sensors of the device. It can also be useful for CPU overclocking purposes for those who know what it means.
To compare your mobile phone with other best-selling and popular models, you can install a benchmarking application.
Among these there are at least two that can be used to find out how your smartphone is compared to the competition.
(The same can also be done on your computer with benchmark programs to measure computer power and hardware performance)
1) AIDA64 is the Android version of the famous PC benchmark program, which performs various tests on the browser, on the processor and an extra section for checking the graphic capabilities.
After the test ends, the result is compared with those of other smartphones.
2) AnTuTu is another free application for Android smartphones that makes a hardware test of the capabilities of the devices, from 3D graphics to the processor.
In the end there is a score that is ranked against a number of other smartphones.
Antutu is among the most reliable, with a card for each smartphone that speaks of:
- User Experience (UX), for the general performance of the device.
- CPU to measure processor performance.
- Single Thread CPU, measures processor performance when using a single single core (many applications use only one CPU core)
- RAM, to check the RAM memory
- GPU to measure graphics processing capacity, rendering video effects and animations and games.
- I / O that measures the performance of the internal storage memory.
3) Antutu 3D is an application similar to the previous ones, which tests the CPU and 3D graphics capabilities. After execution you are asked to send the score to the company and compare the results with that of other users who use other phones.
4) 3DMark is finally an application to test the capabilities of the GPU or graphics card of the mobile phone or Android tablet to measure its ability to run video games smoothly.
5) Geekbench is an app to measure and compare the performance of Android devices that focuses on processor benchmarking even for single single core.
