What is ARM, ARM64 or x86?

Notably, there are 3 main processor architecture i.e. ARM, ARM64, and x86. Firstly, the ARM processor is mean for optimized battery consumption and is one of the most common processing architecture found on smartphones. ARM64, as the name suggests, is an evolved version of the original ARM architecture that is meant for powerful processing capabilities and newer generation smartphones are equipped with this. Lastly, the x86 architecture is the most powerful among the three. but is not as battery-friendly as the other two.

Below is the common name for your device’s CPU type:

  • ARM: ARMv7 or armeabi
  • ARM64: AArch64 or arm64
  • x86: x86 or x86abi

So, basically you need an application in order to know the architecture of your processor. Besides, you will find various applications on the Play Store as well as on third party sources, that will give you all the information about the processor under the hood of your smartphone. However, picking the right one is the key here and below, we will be recommending you three apps through which you can get possibly all the information about your processor easily.
