CPU-Z

CPU-Z is an essential application for Android users looking to delve into the specifics of their device's hardware. This free tool, an Android adaptation of the renowned PC software, provides a comprehensive overview of your device's internals, making it a must-have for tech enthusiasts and professionals alike.

With CPU-Z, you can access detailed information about your device's System on Chip (SoC), including its name, architecture, and the clock speed of each core. This insight is crucial for understanding your device's performance capabilities. Additionally, the app offers a snapshot of your system's vital statistics, such as the device brand and model, screen resolution, RAM, and storage capacity, giving you a clear picture of your device's hardware setup.

For those interested in battery health, CPU-Z reports on the battery level, status, temperature, and capacity, helping you monitor and maintain your device's power source effectively. The app also lists the sensors available on your device, which can be useful for troubleshooting or optimizing your device's performance.

Requirements and Permissions

To run CPU-Z, your device must be running Android 2.2 or a later version. The app requires the INTERNET permission to facilitate online validation, a feature introduced in version 1.04 and later, which stores your device's hardware specifications in a database and provides you with a validation URL. Additionally, the ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE permission is needed for gathering statistics.

Notes on Usage

The online validation feature not only helps in keeping a record of your device's hardware but also allows you to share this information easily. If you provide an email address during the validation process, you'll receive a link to your validation results, serving as a handy reference.

In case of any abnormal closure due to bugs, CPU-Z will display a settings screen on the next launch, starting from version 1.03. This screen allows you to disable certain detection features to ensure the app runs smoothly. If you encounter any issues, you can send a bug report directly from the app's menu by selecting "Send Debug Infos."
