Which Android phones out there do have a gyroscope?

Question

I find it very hard to get any consolidating information about which Android phones do have a gyroscope, or if there are Android phones with this sensor at all. I read about some (especially Samsung) phone models that have at least a 6-axis accelerometer, but I also read that this is different to a real gyroscope.

So my questions are:

1. Which Android phones do have a gyroscope? (Should be usable with the Android API's Sensor.TYPE_GYROSCOPE which is available since API 3)
2. Which Android phones do have a 6-axis accelerometer?

Any references like links, specs etc. are greatly appreciated and of course will be rewarded. :-)

Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

Since I have recently developed an Android application using gyroscope data (steady compass), I tried to collect a list with such devices. This is not an exhaustive list at all, but it is what I have so far:

*** Phones:

• HTC Sensation
• HTC Sensation XL
• HTC Evo 3D
• HTC One S
• HTC One X
• Huawei Ascend P1
• Huawei Ascend X (U9000)
• Huawei Honor (U8860)
• LG Nitro HD (P930)
• LG Optimus 2x (P990)
• LG Optimus Black (P970)
• LG Optimus 3D (P920)
• Samsung Galaxy S II (i9100)
• Samsung Galaxy S III (i9300)
• Samsung Galaxy R (i9103)
• Samsung Google Nexus S (i9020)
• Samsung Galaxy Nexus (i9250)
• Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) model
• Samsung Galaxy Note (n7000)
• Sony Xperia P (LT22i)
• Sony Xperia S (LT26i)

*** Tablets:

• Acer Iconia Tab A100 (7")
• Acer Iconia Tab A500 (10.1")
• Asus Eee Pad Transformer (TF101)
• Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime (TF201)
• Motorola Xoom (mz604)
• Samsung Galaxy Tab (p1000)
• Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 plus (p6200)
• Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (p7100)
• Sony Tablet P
• Sony Tablet S
• Toshiba Thrive 7"
• Toshiba Trhive 10"

Hope the list keeps growing and hope that gyros will be soon available on mid and low price smartphones.
