For example, a gadget may well serve as a navigator, because has a built-in GPS receiver. With the development of technology, for many users the question arose of how to check the technical characteristics of the device, because on the phone you can perform a wide range of resource-intensive operations. It is on what components the smartphone is equipped with, its performance depends.

At the moment, the main part of the mobile device market is divided between the Android and iOS operating systems. The vast majority choose the first option, because the combination of performance and price is optimal. Next, methods for checking the phone for both operating systems will be described in detail.

Why is it important to know the characteristics of the device

In order for the phone to work without freezing, it requires a high-performance processor and the optimal amount of RAM. For video calls, you need a camera with a sufficient resolution. The choice of the device should be based on the needs of the user, for what purpose the device will be used.

An important factor when choosing a device is the microprocessor architecture. To date, Google has compelled Android application developers to release software for only 64-bit architecture.

It is also necessary to pay attention to the characteristics of the graphics accelerator, it depends on it how high-performance games will work. Games on smartphones have long supported the latest graphics technologies and, accordingly, the quality of displaying images on the device’s screen is no worse than on personal computers. At the same time, for a high-quality picture, it is necessary to take into account the type of screen, the most advanced technology is AMOLED. But there are other types: TFT LCD, IPS, AMOLED SUPER, etc. Also here can be attributed pixel density, color reproduction, refresh rate.
