When purchasing a new Android phone, we consider the processor, its speed, and many other hardware details. However, once we purchase it, that information starts to fade from our minds.

As a result, we often forget what processor our phone has and its speed. If you can’t recall which processor powers your phone and its speed, here’s how you can check it.

1. Find the Android Phone Processor and Speed via Google Search

One of the easiest ways to find the processor in your Android phone is to use Google Search.

You can enter keywords like Samsung Galaxy S24 Specs to find all the hardware details of it. Alternatively, you can enter terms like <Your Phone Name> Processor and speed.

This is the easiest way to get information about a phone, but it’s recommended that you double-check the information on different websites because the snippets can sometimes be wrong.

Also, several websites are dedicated to providing phone specifications only; one such site is Gsmarena, which can be used to compare phones as well.

2. Find the Processor & Speed from the Manufacturer’s website

Let’s say you have a Samsung Galaxy S24, but you forget the processor and other hardware information.

3. Find the Android Phone Processor & Speed using DevCheck
