"OpenGL ES CapsViewer" is a powerful Android app that collects OpenGL ES hardware implementation details and device information, helping developers optimize the performance of their applications. It provides data such as versions, extensions, and compression formats, and also aggregates device characteristics like CPU info and screen size. Users can upload their reports to the public database, enabling easy comparison of OpenGL ES capabilities across different devices.

The OpenGL ES Caps Viewer is the mobile equivalent of the OpenGL Caps Viewer for Windows, Linux and Mac OSX.
It gathers the OpenGL ES implementation information of your device, including : - Versions - Extensions - Compressed formats - Shader and program binary formats - OpenGL ES 2.0 and 3.0 caps - EGL implementation
It also gathers device information (no personal data!) that may be of use for developers : - Operating system, screen size and CPU info - Hardware sensors (including range and resolution) - Android features
These hardware reports can then be uploaded to a data base (http://opengles.gpuinfo.org), from where they are available to the public, so that other developers can check out OpenGL ES implementation (and device) information, filter e.g. by availability of extensions and compare devices to check out capabilites of their target platforms.
