-Caution: BOINC on Android runs on all ARM based Android devices.
-The minimum requirement is therefore ARM ABIv5.
-Higher ABIs or specific CPU capabilities might only be available
+BOINC on Android runs on all Android devices, regardless of its CPU architecture.
+Possible architectures are ARM, x86 and MIPS. ARM is the predominant platform on Android.
+
+Even within ARM, higher ABIs or specific CPU capabilities might only be available
 on a subset of volunteer's devices.
-It is the project's responsibility to ensure,
-that distributed BOINC apps meet these requirements.
-The client reports CPU capabilities, i.e. VFP and NEON support, to the project server.
-It is recommended to have a fallback version for ARM ABIv5,
-since not all devices might have higher ABIs available.
