## Description

**Device Info HW** is a comprehensive Android app designed to provide detailed information about your device's hardware and software components. It detects and displays data on the LCD, touchscreen, cameras, sensors, memory, flash storage, audio, NFC, charger, Wi-Fi, battery, and more. The app offers quick navigation with a fresh, modern design, including light, dark, and black themes (black theme available in the PRO version or for 2 weeks in the free version).

Ideal for users and developers alike, especially those working on Android kernels or system builds, Device Info HW can provide extended information when given root access. It features tests such as LCD color checks and multi-touch support, comprehensive system and SoC details including CPU and GPU models, memory frequency, battery charge/discharge rates, and thermal sensor readings. Additional features include app and driver information, partition sizes, connected USB devices, and much more. The PRO version enhances functionality with report generation, theme options, and extended device lists. Data can also be uploaded to a central device database for comparison and analysis.
