Is there any information database which lists all

Question

Is there any opensource projects or sites which provide the lists of all the mobile devices and specifications?

Answer 1

Maybe this is old but might help someone.i was searching and no good options for this. so made a free restful api to get mobile device descriptions. 6700+ mobile device descriptions available now. you can use it in your applications.

here is the website https://fonoapi.freshpixl.com/

and github here https://github.com/shakee93/fonoapi

i just made the php client to access the api. someone can help with other languages too..

Please drop me a message if you can help make it better. we help the community from community.

For Android there is a user build database of device reports. It seems it is only visible via the web but you can search for different devices and look at their specifications.

Answer 3

WURFL is the industry standard for mobile device information - it's main job is to take a user-agent and match it to a device and attributes, however it can be queried to also get lists of devices and attributes with a little bit of effort.

The actual WURFL datasource is in a flat xml structure and is a little less complicated to get your head around to start with, but using one of the developed APIs will make the learning curve easier.

Answer 4

Take a look at OpenDDR project (removed original link since it is now defunct) - "open and completely free Device Description Repository (with access APIs) available worldwide".

Their OpenDDR-Resources repository seems to contain XML files with device descriptions you're after and provides a link to the last free and open distribution of WURFL file.

Their other repositories also contain C# and Java implementations of the API.
