I just bought a refurbished Google Pixel off aliexpress. Everything seems to be working fine and it updated to android 9 no problem.
However when i go into CPUz app and chceck the cpu tab, it says that the chipset is "MT6757WD" which i understand is a Helio P20.
Is this some sort of an error in reading the CPU number or did i just get a fake Pixel with a Media Tek CPU?
Can't post pictures or links (my very first post)

no its not fake. i downloaded same app and mine shows same. however, download CPU-Z and you will see that its snapdragon 821 SOC.

Hey guys,
I have recently purchased a phone from china, the seller said it was an OEM phone with 2GB RAM and a FHD screen and at the same time i came across some seller indicating that the real hardware is 1GB RAM and 720p Screen although the phone can display 2GB RAM and 1080p.
So i would like to know are there any ways which i can use to check if the hardware of the android devide is real or fake?
thanks!

How are you getting the hardware specs?
If it is through an app pre-installed on the device try using this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thukhakyaw.aboutphone

Thanks for the reply. I actually used Antutu Benchmark and CPU-Z but i was wondering whether the OEM manufacturer can put a 'program' in the phone which will make the apps i used give false hardware information.

They probably can since other manufacturers spoof hardware performance but I have never heard of a Chinese company spoofing specs
Such a shame! One of my friends recently ordered a Zopo ZP980+ (2GB RAM and 16GB ROM version) from aliexpress, but he has doubts about the phone having those specs. There is a version of this phone with 1GB RAM and 16GB ROM.
I'll give the app you suggested a try!
Faked RAM value used in china mobiles selled by some indian companies
I have purchased a phone named ' Wickedleak Wammy note 3 ', the company tells that it has 2GB ram , When checking the phone also shows it have 2gb RAM that means 2048 mb exactly, After using the phone for few days I found that the phone will never using RAM above 1 GB, then i feel doubt about the actual RAM it does have , I tried several tools for checking specs of phone like CPUz ,Antutu etc ,all of it shows 2048 mb RAM.
Finaly I tested with ' CPU / RAM / DEVICE Identifier ' tool which reveals the real truth about the Phone , Download the tool from here play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Bfield.CpuIdentifier

Back in January, rumors of a possible Huawei Honor X2 successor started to pop out. According with previous rumors, the tablet named as Huawei Honor X3, would be unveiled during CES packing a nice set of specs. However it was a no show until the most recent leaks at TENAA.
Originally, we were expecting the device to come with 6.2-inch 2K device, Kirin 950 processor alongside 4GB of Ram and 64GB of Storage. Previous benchmarks also suggested Android 6.0 in a newer version of EMUI. We cannot say what happened with the device on those leaks, but we got a different picture in the TENAA Honor X3 documentation.
According to TENAA, the Huawei Honor X3 boasts a larger 7-inch display with 1920×1200 resolution. The horsepower is given with the use of Snapdragon 615, a quite old and deprecated choice in 2016; Huawei could at least consider the 616 version that fixes all the problems found in the 615, other specs include 2GB of Ram and 16GB of Storage.
The Huawei Honor X3 also comes with a generous 13MP rear camera and 5MP unit on the front. We also found the presence of a fingerprint scanner on device’s border, just below power button, a new placement that we are seeing more often this year. Finally, the device houses a 4320mAh battery to provide enough juice to run out the specs.
Hey bark,
Thanks for posting this. In my opinion, these specs seem highly unrealistic and under par even in comparison to the current X2. I'll gamble and say the specs for the X3 will be much better than the ones quoted in this article...
ya maybe they might have a lite and a pro version for x3. and this one could be of lite.
A Snapdragon processor means there will probably be a CM based rom for it in the future.
Snapdragon means NO Dual Sim Full Active.... So I have to look to other device.

My Mi Max has a Snapdragon 652 and is DSDS.
Afaik honor 8 have kirin 950..
Checked with cpuz mine shown kirin 955..
Does anyone have same soc as mine or I have fake one...
Bought it from bestbuy.
no it's not fake, newer honor 8 or some new variant does have 955.
Mine says 955 as well. I ain't mad if that's the case. Slightly better processor
Most reviews and spec sheets for the Honor 8 list the CPU as a Kirin 950/955 because of the fact that more recent production runs are using the 955 instead of the 950. Other than the slight performance boost, the 955 shouldn't be significantly different from the 950 though...
settings-about phone. Mine is 950. In cpuz, it stated 955.
My about phone in settings say 950 but cpu-z says 955, not sure which is correct?
Edit: i downloaded 5 others and the ones with the z say 955 and the ones with x say 950, so i think i will just trust the about phone in settings
Same here! Settings 950 and CPU-Z says 955. Thats strange :victory:
Sent from my Honor 8 using XDA Labs
Mine says the same.... Settings 950, CPUz 955...
To be fair the 950 is just an underclocked 955.. Why change processor as a whole for 0.2 GHz less?
So...can we overclock it?
Firstly, appolgize if wrong thread & I know there's probably many posts asking the same thing...
I'm planning to get a new Mobile - after having a Galaxy S4 (stuck on Android 4 since KNOX trip) since they first came out.
I'm a VERY light user, only using it for occasional text/calls, the occasional game & a little bit of Web Browsing (if I find any free Wifi hotspots)
.. Been looking at 'mid-range' SIM-free phones at about £200-£300 (could go as high as £350-ish IF the phone offers better 'futureproofing) with the following basic specs
5" (or larger) screen
32Mb (or more) / 3Gb (or more) RAM
3000mA battery (or more)
SD Card slot
Android 6/7 (6 as long as there's planned update to 7)
As little bloatware as possible - not too fussed if not quite 'vanilla' android but close to it would be nice
Now at first I narrowed it down to possibly a Moto G4 Plus but I find that the UK version does NOT have a compass, which I believe (wrongly perhaps) is usually essential if you plan to use any sat-nav software (which I occcasionally have to use).
Then I considered waiting for the Nokia 6.. possibly even the Arte Black version (when it FINALLY arrives in the UK) - since it's virtually 'Vanilla' Android & would probably won't have too much Bloatware - but I then read reviews that it can be a 'little laggy' opening apps
Then the Huawei Honor 8 was thought about but then read that some reviewers don't like the Emotion UI very much (not knowing the actual reason why they don't like it I won't know if I'd like it)
& finally the Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) or Galaxy J7 Pro (if I can find a shop that sells it) is added to my short list but considering how much bloatware was installed on my aging S4 I'm concerned the A5/J7 will also have umpteen apps I will never use installed
Now I know the Moto G4 / Nokia 6 have larger screens than the Honor 8/A5 & the specs are not quite the same between phones (I've been using another website to compare specs.. not sure if allowed to post link/name but hopefully it'll be allowed - GSMARENA) but since I've been out of the Android game for a while - I'm confused over many of the specs
Examples:
Chipset: Which is considered 'better' - a Qualcomm MSM8952 Snapdragon 617, Qualcomm MSM8937 Snapdragon 430, HiSilicon Kirin 950 or Exynos 7880 Octa
CPU: Octa-core (4x1.5 GHz Cortex-A53 & 4x1.2 GHz Cortex-A53), Octa-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A53, Octa-core 1.9 GHz Cortex-A53, or Octa-core (4x2.3 GHz Cortex-A72 & 4x1.8 GHz Cortex A53)
GPU: Adreno 405 , Adreno 505, Mali-T880 MP4, Mali-T830MP3
Screen: is 'IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen' better or worse than 'Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen'
what is a 'Li-Po 3000 mAh battery' - is it any better/worse than a 'Li-ion'
So , can anyone explain which is considered 'better' than the other specs..
Which phone would you consider from my short list... any suggestions of other phones I may've overlooked that have similar basic specs ??
Edit: So many views - no answers
Anyway, Still looking at phones
- what do you think about the Huawei P10 Lite??
Thanxs in advance
Device info HW+ app is showing that soc of my POCO X3 NFC 6/128 is 730
Wasn't it 732G?
Anyone please check your snapdragon version with this app
Please.

Hmmm strange iv just read too that it was 732 but mine says 730 too
May be the app is not updated and doesn't have the 732G codes. 732G is rather new.
Moreover this phone is giving the benchmark score of 730 which is 27 lac something
732G gives 31 lac+ score.
Someone please confirm the SoC used in this phone.
I checked using CPU-Z it shows SDMMAGPIE which is actually the codename for Snapdragon 730. On AIDA-64 it also shows Snapdragon 730 (SM7150). It's weird, but the GPU is correct, Adreno 618.
It should be confirmed from official support
732 it almost same as 730 but 732 its 2.3 ghz so
it shchold be 732 in poco
730g and 732g are practically the same soc, and the 732 is brand new, the majority of the apps can't recognise it simply because they are not updated to recognise it.
I mailed the developer of this app, he uploaded the beta version. Now its showing 732G
730G and 732G are variants of the 730 SOC.
The only difference is the clock frequency - 2.200 MHz at the 730G and 2.300 MHz at the 732G.
