Introduction

To get device details first you need to add namespace Microsoft.Phone.Info into your project. This namespace contains four classes to explore device specification namely DeviceExtendedProperties, DeviceStatus, MediaCapabilities and UserExtendedProperties.

please refer following code

private void btnok_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
        string deviceDetails = "Device details are::";
        deviceDetails += DeviceStatus.ApplicationCurrentMemoryUsage +",";
        deviceDetails += DeviceStatus.ApplicationMemoryUsageLimit + ",";
        deviceDetails += DeviceStatus.ApplicationPeakMemoryUsage + ",";
        deviceDetails += DeviceStatus.DeviceFirmwareVersion + ",";
        deviceDetails += DeviceStatus.DeviceHardwareVersion + ",";
        deviceDetails += DeviceStatus.DeviceManufacturer + ",";
        deviceDetails += DeviceStatus.DeviceName + ",";
        deviceDetails += DeviceStatus.DeviceTotalMemory + ",";
        deviceDetails += DeviceStatus.PowerSource;
 
        MessageBox.Show(deviceDetails);
        //to know whether device supports smooth streaming of multi resolution video
        if (MediaCapabilities.IsMultiResolutionVideoSupported)
        {
             MessageBox.Show("Supported");
        }
        else
        {
             MessageBox.Show("Not supported");
        }
 
}
