Professional 5G NR Analysis Tools
CellInfo leads the industry in providing professional-grade 5G NR signal metrics directly on your Android device.
Our advanced measurement suite is designed for RF engineers and network enthusiasts who demand accuracy beyond basic signal bars.
- CSI-RSRP, CSI-RSRQ, CSI-SINR: Channel State Information measurements that provide more accurate signal analysis than traditional SS-RSRP, especially for beamformed 5G connections (Android 10+).
- CQI Report: Per-subband Channel Quality Indicators (0-15 scale) showing quality distribution across frequency subbands, available on Android 12+ devices.
- CQI Table Index: Real-time modulation scheme indicator showing whether your device is using 64QAM (Table 1), 256QAM (Table 2), or 1024QAM (Table 3) for maximum throughput (Android 12+).
- 5G NR Timing Advance: Precise microsecond-level timing measurements with automatic distance calculation to the serving cell tower, essential for RF optimization (Android 14+).
- 5G Network Slicing Detection: Industry-leading capability to detect and identify 5G network slices including eMBB (Enhanced Mobile Broadband), URLLC (Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency), and mMTC (Massive Machine-Type Communications). Learn more about how we analyze 5G NR slices in our Technical Guide.
Enhanced Statistics: Network Usage and Band Analysis
CellInfo transforms passive signal bars into actionable, historical network data.
Our statistics screen is designed for users who want to analyze their connection history and verify the specific technology accessed over time.
Deep Dive into Network Type Statistics
View a percentage distribution of the time spent on different network generations (e.g., 4G, 5G NSA, etc.) over the course of the tracking session. This history is invaluable for identifying areas where your phone frequently drops to a slower network.
Advanced Band Analysis (Expert View)
- Carrier Aggregation (CA): See the exact band combinations (e.g., B20+B3) utilized to achieve higher theoretical speeds.
- MOCN (Multi-Operator Core Network): Detection of shared network infrastructure between carriers.
- 5G NR Bands: Instantly check the usage distribution for modern 5G bands (like n20 or n1).
Community & Logging Tools
We strongly support community data sharing with integrated support for uploading your collected data to global crowdsourcing platforms such as OpenCellID and BeaconDB.
Additionally, our Smart Audio Feedback feature provides audible beeps to confirm successful data logging or notify you when your device connects to a new cell tower, allowing for “eyes-free” network testing while in the field.
