How to find ARM processor version on android device?

Question

I tried the following command and it worked fine on a couple of devices.

adb shell getprop | grep abi

This command fails to get the ARM processor version for some devices. Is there any other way to find out what version of ARM processor is my device running on?

Thanks

It also works to enter `cat /proc/cpuinfo` into a console on the phone if that works (root need, terminal emulator, possibly even GravityBox, …) – Fabian Röling Feb 10 '19 at 12:38

It prints like `x86,armeabi-v7a,armeabi`. What is my device's arhictecture? – rosshjb Sep 26 '19 at 18:25

@jinbeomhong take a look at https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/abis . It explains the architecture of each abi. – Thaddeus Albers Nov 07 '19 at 18:53

Try,

adb shell getprop | grep ro.product.cpu.abi

It would give you the abi type based on which you can find which arch the device belongs to.

Reference : https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/abis

Eg;

x86         - 32 bit x86 architecture
x86_64      - 64 bit x86 architecture
armeabi-v7a - 32 bit arm architecture
arm64-v8a   - 64 bit arm architecuture

The command may need to be quoted: `adb shell "getprop | grep ro.product.cpu.abi"` – alissonmuller Feb 21 '22 at 16:19

What worked for me is a mix of two methods. Firs I try

adb shell getprop ro.product.cpu.abilist

And if it is not clear (in case of Huawei Octacores) you can use

adb shell getprop ro.product.cpu.abi
