Accessibility and User Comments:
Fully accessible with very few unlabeled buttons
Device Info HW is very well designed and very few - if any - unlabeled buttons can be found in its interface. It doesn't support TalkBack actions, but they are not need.
The Open navigation drawer is positioned at the top left corner of the screen. When selected, many of the app's major tabs also appear on the screen, but they are not called "tab" here. So the tabs can be accessed both from the app's main screen and from the Navigation drawer. The Navigation drawer contains extra items such as Options, which more acts as the About App screen.
The More options button at the top corner of the app's screen displays the following items: Info, Screen test, Settings, and About. For instance, if you want to show temperature in Fahrenheit, you should go to the Settings window.
The major portion of Device Info HW's main window is occupied by 18 tabs, most of which were mentioned in the app description. Some of them are General, SOC, System, Screen, Memory, Camera, Battery, Thermal, Sensors, Applications, and so forth. When selected, relevant info about that tab gets displayed on the screen. TalkBack also calls them tab, and the items which belong to each tab are also properly numbered.
Last Tested App version and Android version:
