WinPhone Info 3.1.0.0
For such purposes, Windows Phone users can turn to a neat freebie that goes by the name of WinPhone Info. It offers a short summary of the handset's hardware and software, while also being able to go in-depth to provide particular details for several components.
Well organized and neat looking interface
This utility comes with a rather nice front-end, greeting you with some neat animated tiles and an appropriate background image that fits the app's purpose.
The system properties and all the other details are neatly structured inside relevant categories and easy to access, while moving through the menus and sections of the app are also smooth, without delays or similar glitches.
There are, nonetheless, some nuisances and they are represented by the adverts that follow you around in every area of the app. Occasionally, some reminders that ask you to rate WinPhone Info will start to pop-up after a couple of uses, but you can disable and send them off with two taps.
Check out the system information on the go
This utility offers an overview that includes the most relevant details about the software and hardware environments. However, if you want to check out all the information you will have to pay a few visits to the corresponding categories neatly stacked in the main menu.
With this app you will also be able to learn more about the current status of the local storage and memory, view the number of pictures and songs currently stored onto your phone, as well as the playlists, albums, artists and genres.
To see what sensors your handset is equipped with, simply access the dedicated area of WinPhone Info as it enables you to view the real-time data acquired from the accelerometer, compass, gyroscope and motion detector.
Accurate location details, including a map view with the possibility to share the current position can be viewed in the corresponding module, after activating the location feature.
Pin tiles and choose the favorite information areas
If you want to have only a set of specific parameters on display, you can populate the "favorites" area with the desired icons by tapping the corresponding button placed next to each of them. Also, from the "Settings Launchers" area you can create some Start screen shortcuts for come system settings you access more often.
Sharing the system information can be easily done via email, as WinPhone Info provides a special feature from the main menu and every bit of data will be automatically included in the report.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
This utility offers a decent a look, with nice graphics, but there are a lot of adverts that take away some of the good feel. |
Function8
The application provides a lot of info and has some useful extra options, but it could use more data sharing possibilities. |
Security8
Even if it is to be expected from this kind of app to access all the system areas, WinPhone Info does something else, namely collects anonymous data usage, unless users disable this setting. |
Battery4
The power consumption for this utility is substantial and this makes the battery usage stay at very high levels. |
Price9
All the features inside this application are free to use, but removing the advertisement banners will require payment. |
Compatibility10
Almost every Windows Phone user out there can have WinPhone Info installed and running onto their handset as it only needs version 7.5 of the OS. |
