Know your device

The PC space enjoys an abundance of hardware choices that comprise computers with all combinations of parts. If you're the curious type and want to understand what makes your machine tick, there are plenty of system diagnostic tools that can help, and CPU-Z is one of the more popular ones. With its official mobile app, you can now do the same with your smartphone or tablet.

The mobile version of this program pretty much has the same capabilities as its PC counterpart. That means you will be able to check the specific model for the CPU and GPU combo, complete with clock speeds and max frequencies.

There's even a dedicated battery section, detailing its discharge rate and overall health. Just be aware that the app is outdated and has not been updated in some time. You can still use it as is, but its performance will vary on components, especially more recent mobile processors and parts.

Was one of the best

CPU-Z has been around for a while and is one of the OG system diagnostic tools for PC enthusiasts. While that notion remains true today, the same can't be said for its mobile iteration. The lack of updates limits its utility to some degree given the rapid pace at which mobile processors are coming out nowadays. Hopefully, it receives renewed focus and attention soon.
