How to see and know the technical characteristics of my mobile phone - RAM, processor, gpu

The technical characteristics of a smartphone can vary greatly depending on the brand, model, service operator and country. When we buy a mobile, we look at aspects such as the quality of the camera, the RAM or the internal storage capacity. Based on these elements, we determine whether the smartphone in question suits us or whether we need to look for other options. However, many times we don't know how to look for them in our terminal. Don't worry, today we will show you how to view the features of your phone quickly and easily. 

How to see the technical characteristics of my Android phone?

There are several ways to see or know the properties of our Android terminal depending on the model and version of the operating system.

This option is only available on some Android phones. Starting with Android 6.0 Marshmallow version, the user can access the device specifications by default. However, in older versions of the operating system only some manufacturers such as Samsung or Huawei allow this. If your mobile phone complies with these guidelines, you will be able to see its properties without having to install applications.

 You just have to go to mobile settings and choose the option related to the phone. A screen will then be displayed in which we will be able to observe all the detailed characteristics of the equipment. We have access to the CPU model, amount of RAM, internal memory used and available, Android version and resolution. Furthermore, we will be able to observe the model and compilation number, the IMEI code and the device name.
