How to add a new device page to the wiki

Note To create a new wiki page, enter the name of the new page into the search field, press enter and you will be asked to create the new page.
  1. Paste the content from below into the new wiki page. For device-specific pages, we are using the naming convention "Manufacturer Device Name (codename)", so for example "HTC Desire (htc-bravo)"
  2. Adjust the template for your device (edit all CHANGE_MEs, fill out the blanks, etc.)
  3. Take a good photo of your device and upload it, then put it into the infobox. Do not copy random pictures from the internet, those are copyrighted.
  4. You are done! You can now take a look at the devices page, your device should appear automatically.

Chipset names

In order to keep pages consistent, chipset names in device infoboxes should follow the following format (colors added for demonstration purposes):

  • <Manufacturer> <Series name> <Marketing name> <Optional suffix> (<Model name>), for chipsets with a marketing name (most Qualcomm Snapdragon chips - for example, Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 (MSM8916), as well as recent Mediatek chips - for example, MediaTek Helio P65 (MT6768))
  • <Manufacturer> <Series name> <Model name> <Optional suffix> or <Manufacturer> <Model name> <Optional suffix>, for chipsets with only a model name (Exynos chips, Broadcom chips etc. - for example, Samsung Exynos 4412 Quad, Broadcom BCM23550)

The <Optional suffix> field is used only for manufacturer-provided suffixes - for example, Exynos chips often have suffixes like "Dual", "Quad" or "Octa" after the model name (as seen in the Samsung Exynos 4412 Quad example above).

Notes

  • To figure out if an Exynos chip needs the Dual/Quad/Octa suffix, check if there is one listed on Samsung's website. If the chip in question is not on Samsung's website, see what other online sources say.
  • Exynos chips often have a market name like "Exynos 4", "Exynos 5" besides their model number; the number is omitted here in favor of the full model number.
  • In OMAP chips, the name of the manufacturer ("Texas Instruments") is shortened to TI.
  • The names are case-sensitive, so make sure to use the correct capitalization (e.g. MediaTek instead of Mediatek, Qualcomm Snapdragon instead of QualComm SnapDragon, MSM8916 instead of msm8916)

Template

Please take the time to fill out this template properly.

With good documentation, more contributors come, and they will be able to build upon your work.

It's worth it.

Thank you!

Note You can find information about CPU, GPU, Display on websites such as gsmarena.com . You can also enter your device name with the word "specs" into your favorite search engine and you should find the information as well.
