Just like every branch of technology, the Android universe is divided among casual users and the ones who take it to the next level. For the latter kind of users, the ability to find out Android device processor type can be a godsend, especially when the specs charts are highly confusing.

For the regular users who are wondering why finding out the processor type matters, it is essential for several rooting practices. For instance, knowing your processor type (ARM, ARM64, X86, etc.) is mandatory to install the Xposed Framework ever since Android 5.0 Lollipop.
