This application is very useful especially if you are unaware of the platform your phone processor is based on and the scaling governor your phone processor is using, ofcourse, there are many scaling governors but the default in most Android smartphones is “deadline”.

The CPU scaling governor determines how the phone CPU communicates and respond to some certain process. If the device have root privilege and superuser installed, you can unlock other scaling governors by simply installing a custom kernel to your phone. Most of these custom kernels let you have access to other CPU scaling governors such as vr, cfq, bfq, sio and noop. Vr is the best in the list.

The next tab shows the system information, such as phone manufacturer, board, kernel version, screen resolution, Android version, kernel architecture and many more. Battery details such as health, power source, temperature, voltage, level and status are display in the third tab. The last tab shows details of the sensors equipped with the phone.

CPU-Z sensor tab shows all the sensors that the phone have and their readings, which is very useful.
