- Tap on System tab located at the top. You’ll find your processor architecture there, along with a lot of other relevant information. however, CPU Architecture and Instruction Sets are what you will need the most. Screenshot the screen or note them down for future reference.
- Now, match the info with the following; these are the 3 main CPU architectures.

- ARM64: Aarch64 or arm64
- X86: x86 or x86abi
Most of the devices today has ARM architecture as it is the most optimized and uses low power and drains less battery. ARM64 is somewhat the same but with a 64bit processing. X86 delivers performance but at the cost of battery life. This is why almost no device manufactured in 2017 use this processor.
